The antimicrobial potential of cannabidiol

Blaskovich et al. demonstrate the antimicrobial applications of cannabidiol and cannabidiol analogs against a range of pathogenic bacteria, including the capacity to kill MRSA and the Gram-negative bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This article highlights the potential for cannabidiol in the age of an...
