Hola Peeps!
Has anyone else seen this research? Apparently there is growing evidence that the endocannabinoids in marijuana combat the excessive inflammation attributed to the high-lethality of H1N1 by mitigating the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) thought to drive the inflammatory response. The news appears to be months old, yet I haven't heard squat about it in the mainstream news. (Big surprise there, huh?)
Anyway, I ran across these articles while geek surfing the net.
