The potential of cannabis as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of various diseases is one of the characteristics that make it highly valuable. With the significant advances in medical research and research, as more and more people learn and see the role of cannabis in the treatment of a variety of diseases, the value of cannabis in the medical community has played an important role.

Studies have shown that one of the brain disorders that cannabis can play an important role in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

CTE, a medical disease of the brain, was first described by Dr. Harrison Martland in 1928 as “fist drunk syndrome”. For many reasons, until recently, CTE research has not made much progress.

In fact, CTE mainly troubles individuals with persistent or repetitive brain injury. This situation is common among victims of domestic abuse, military personnel, athletes (especially contact sports), boxers, etc.

In individuals with CTE, clumps of protein “Tau” from slowly in the body. As time passes, they will spread throughout the brain structure, thereby killing cells in the brain, but the symptoms of CTE will not show immediately Studies have shown that in most cases, some symptoms begin to appear in their 20s.

The research on the effects of cannabis on CTE patients has been carried out for quite a long time. According to the current signs, the effects of cannabis on CTE patients are the same but different. Because everyone has a unique endocannabinoid system, the degree of interaction and response to cannabinoids varies greatly. However, despite this variability, facts have shown that cannabis can help manage CTE by reducing post-traumatic convulsions or seizures, reducing anxiety levels, and reducing motor injury.

Studies conducted in 2014 also showed that cannabis can also help in the treatment of head trauma resulting in excessive production of extracellular glutamate (a toxic substance). According to recent research results, CBD can help prevent the toxicity of glutamate by reducing the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide in the CNS, that is, cannabis can play a role in the treatment of apoptosis, neuroinflammation and cerebrovascular failure.

Although all the information about CTE and cannabis has been discovered, there are still many unknown places. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a unique brain disease. Although we have not yet reached a curable stage, the possibility of cure can be greatly increased through cannabis.
