Scientists Discover That Cannabis Can Reverse Aging

Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn together with a team from Hebrew University in Israel have now been able to show that cannabis can reverse aging in mice.

They found the key to this in the protein switch mTOR, whose signal strength has an influence on cognitive performance and metabolic processes in the entire organism.

“A low-dose long-term administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can not only reverse aging processes in the brain, but also has an anti-aging effect,” the researchers said.

The results are now presented in the journal ACS Pharmacology & Translation Science.
