摘要
This commentary discusses the importance of a new study entitled Cannabidiol attenuates deficits of visuo-spatial associative memory induced by (9)-tetrahydrocannabinol' by Wright etal. from the Scripps Institute in La Jolla, California. The results in this study show that the non-psychoactive cannabis constituent cannabidiol opposes some, but not all, forms of behavioural and memory disruption caused by (9)-tetrahydrocannabinol in male rhesus monkeys.
