Marijuana helps broken bones heal faster, a new study has found.

[KriszDev]

The Times of Israel reports that researchers at Tel Aviv University found that rats with broken bones healed much quicker when given the non-psychotic marijuana component, cannabidiol or CBD.

The study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research on Thursday found that the bones not only healed quicker, but were also stronger and more resilient against a repeated fracture, meaning the bones treated with marijuana were much less likely to break again.

It's just stupid and funny.
Marijuana. Is there anything it CAN'T do?
But can it heal a broken heart?
If not I don't need it at all.

It can make you fail a drug test and lose your job.

It can make you feel good and feeling good improves healing. Petting a dog or cat will do the exact same thing. If a rock makes you feel good, the effects of that rock are the same as a joint.

It can't make me smarter. Such stupid statements of studies just prove how fool and naive smokers are to believe these studies.
I smoke weed some times and I felt becoming slower at my mental activity. I am sure weed is not for me...

The results are from a scientific study, which was conducted by well known researchers from around the world. And we are talking about the ability of marijuana to heal the wounds and fractures faster, and not about its ability to slow down the mental activity. There is a big difference between the two, in my humble opinion.

This still doesn't justify using it. I'm pretty sure that addicts are super excited when they hear news as this one. Pretty much everything has pros and cons (alcohol, cigars, etc.).
This doesn't surprise me though, there have been stories from time to time about its healing effects.

It really is a stupid society where we have made this illegal when it does have benefits and side effects which are far less than that of the 'legal' tax bringing drugs such as your alcohol and cigs.  There's more money in the war on drugs I suppose.

Not "we". Most people who made it illegal aren't even alive. Still, it's interesting how hard it is to change the law and people's mentality. Most of us know the law is stupid but it's still there.

The royal 'we' it does seem to be turning around though little by little especially in the states where they have a lot of places allowing some use of it, I am hoping in the next decade you can walk into a shop, tell them what you are looking for and walk away with a bag and a receipt.

Obviously, no one read the article. The component of marijuana that was studied is CBD, which is non-psychoactive. So, you won't flunk a drug test, and it won't make you "feel better." There is no one so naïve as to dismiss a scientific study based on personal bias against a drug.

Indeed it can heal a broken heart. Back in 1968 my hippee chick girlfriend broke up with me. I was in the pits of depression, but later that night her best friend, a gorgeous hippy chick turned up at my door with this big cheech and chong sized doobie, Acupulco Gold. As I nursed on that joint and she nursed on my joint suddenly a little time later my broken heart was healed. I ended up marrying her a few years later.

The powers of good herb is just amazing.

Yeah sure pot heads claim pot can cure anything from zits to cancer. But then if your brain is addled by pot I supose you could believe that.

Here's how it is for some people. If a person has a chronic illness or pain they can be not in there right mind and a little slower on the pills the doc gives you or weed. Your choice but I don't know what the hell is in those pills.

"We found that CBD alone makes bones stronger during healing"
The CBD is non-active in the cannabis. It can be made in labs and I believe it is the future of healing bones.

If one buys weed from someone else ya don't know what the hell the grower sprayed on it to keep the pests like spider mites, thrips, aphids, white flies and caterpillars off the plants, all of which will eat the pot as it grows. One also doesn't know what the hell the grower sprayed on it to keep the diseases like botrytis, powdery mildew, leaf septori and rust off it either. The goal for the grower is the biggest yield possible. Who know what sort of chemical compounds are created when pesticides/fungicides are burned.

You are right. Grow your own organic marijuana. Most people have a house plant and pot is easy to grow. 2 plants can keep most high for a year. The greed to grow the most is because of big business. The government need not be involved. BTW mint plants help keep many bugs out of plants, including spider mites.

The healing power of CBDs is only now becoming known. How many stories of people with chronic (heh) seizures who's re-seizure rates drop like a stone in water upon ingestion of cannabis high in CBDs (and generally low in THC)

It can make you fail a drug test and lose your job.

And get you arrested and put in jail as a political prisoner. Other than that it is safer than alcohol and tobacco 10 times fold or more.

I sense some of you didn't even read the article.

It can make you not be a grouchy old man.
