Young un-budded hemp plants provide extractions of CBDs (cannabidiolic acids). There are many antibiotic uses of the cannabidiols, including treatment for gonorrhea. A 1990 Florida study indicated its use in treating herpes.
The acid side of tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiols occur inversely to the amount of the plants THC and is therefore more acceptable to prohibitionists because it wont get you high. For virtually any disease or infection that can be treated with teramycin, cannabis derivatives did better in Czechoslovakian studies, 1952-1955.3 The Czechs in 1997 still publish farm crop reports on strategies to grow cannabidiol rich hemp.
