Few Drug hemp as the basis of pharmacological EU market
Employees of the University Pompeu Fabra and Belle Mare Hospital (Barcelona, Spain) believe that the pharmacological market requires creating a few varieties of cannabis drugs, which are used for medical purposes.
Creating this kind of varieties will reduce government restrictions on the amount of crop and the need to respect a number of conventions and restrictions associated with the presence of THC in the plant.
Until now, one of the main obstacles faced by researchers in the study of medical cannabis properties is the need for paperwork and monitoring by government agencies for the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which often do not participate in the treatment process. This is due to difficulties in meeting legal norms tend to most researchers need not work with natural ingredients of cannabis, and the need to use synthetic cannabinoids, which do not contain THC.
The results of research joint team from the University Pompeu Fabra and Belle Mare Hospital demonstrate that THC unlike other cannabinoids has no analgesic properties, so a variety of painkillers can be made from small cannabis drug. It is on the basis of his studies Spanish experts conclude that the market requires technical varieties of cannabis which can most effectively be used in modern pharmacology and medicine.
According to the researcher of the Institute of Molecular Biology (Valencia) Miguel Mulet, it is a little narcotic hemp varieties are interesting from the point of view of their use in therapy, as well as the mass cultivation for the production of effective and cheap cannabinoid medicines. The healing properties of cannabis much greater than those known to science at the moment. The presence of THC in the plant significantly limits the clinical studies related to the study drugs without cannabinoids. That is why pharmacologists around the world very little need narcotic hemp varieties, which are not burdened by the restrictions associated with the presence in the plant psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol.
