Cannabis and Bone Healing
The health benefits of cannabis or its constituents have become all the rage in university studies of late. Cannabis has been shown to reduce the effects of Parkinson’s disease and to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s, as well as to alleviate anxiety and panic attacks in some patients. Tetrahydrocannabinol, (THC) has also proven to be beneficial for cancer patients by inducing apoptosis, or controlled cell death, in cancerous cells. Recent studies at Tel Aviv University are following this trend, and seem to show that cannabis can be beneficial for bone recovery in rats.

Research published in The Journal of Bone and Mineral Research indicate that CBD induces broken bones to heal faster, and can even make the healed bone stronger than it had been, pre-injury.  Yankel Gabet, one of the authors of the study, explained that CBD can enhance maturation of the collagenous matrix that serves as a scaffold for mineralization of bone tissue. Once healed, broken bones treated this way appear to be more resilient to future breakage.

Bone cells in mammals have been shown to express special receptors for cannabinoids that help regulate bone metabolism,  mass and cell function of bones. Cannabinoid receptor ligands are showing promise for treatment of bone diseases like osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and bone metastasis.

In the study, the scientists gave rats "mild" bone fractures, followed by CBD and THC injections. They then compared healing effects with control rats who did not receive injections. Though the THC injections didn't appear to have much effect, injections of CBD alone were found to be effective for enhanced fracture healing. They hope to begin trials with humans next.

On a slightly unrelated note: While I find these kinds of studies to be interesting and useful, I can't help but be appalled at the callousness and cruelty of animal experimentation. If it were up to me, we would be using these scientists as the control group in such studies.

Too bad research in the US is still stifled by Federal law.

I fucking love this post.


I just broke my fourth & fifth metacarpals of my dominant hand 5 weeks ago. Was a bad break, a little out of alignment. Drs recommended surgery & repeatedly offered me toxic pain pills without me ever complaining of pain. 



Told them no, the risks of anesthesia (of which there are many hidden from patients) & the risks of antibiotics (kills good microbiology as well, perhaps permanently) the risks of narcotics are all too great. Not to mention having wires inside of your bone & sticking out of your skin for 6 weeks. Ever seen a bone infection? 


So 5 weeks later, no surgery, heavy cannabis use (lots of cbd) & my hand is almost fully functional. Still not fully torquing on it, but today I went to yoga & was able to put a good amount of weight on it in different positions. Some pain, but that is diagnostic information for me to aid in the healing process. 


Have been doing a lot of visualization of my own anatomy & how the bone fractals itself back together based on positioning & what you do with it. 


Cannabis has felt like a huge aid in my healing process. I have been dosing heavily & getting plenty of sleep. Diet plays a huge role in the healing process as well. The cleaner the food you eat, the more processing power your immune system can devote to bone healing. 



I also added a little more calcium to my diet at first & have been taking collagen protein & turmeric cannabis tea daily. 



Zero pills ingested, despite the drug pushers (Drs) trying to push pain pills & chemical anti inflammatories both of which, I believe are toxic. 


Cannabis is real medicine, heals ailments & treats symptoms
