Marijuana can treat arthritis, diabetes?


 Marijuana could potentially help treat autoimmune disorders including arthritisand diabetes, a new study, including Indian-origin scientists, has claimed. 
The findings by researchers at the University of South Carolina provides evidence that THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), a principal ingredient in marijuana, may be beneficial in treating those with autoimmune disorders. 
The finding is the first to explore how tiny , yet powerful molecules called microRNAs are influenced by THC. MicroRNAs are a recently discovered class of non-coding RNAs that play a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression. The ability to alter microRNA expression could hold the key to successful treatments for a host of autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes.
