CBD Cannabis oil is able to kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Research: CBD has been able to kill “antibiotic-resistant” bacteria "Bacteria", such as those that have developed resistance to commonly used antibiotics, pose a threat to modern medicine in the fight against infections. New research shows that cannabidiol (CBD) may have the potential to be used as a new type of antibiotic to which the bacteria are not immune. With evolution, bacteria have become immune to certain types of antibiotics being used against infections - a fact that is a major threat to the future of medicine and worries researchers around the world. Such a bacterium, which has developed resistance to several different types of antibiotics, is known as a "Super Bug", and the concern is that one day bacteria will develop to be resistant to all known antibiotics so that they cannot be treated.
