Cannabis compounds are showing early promise for healthy aging, a new study has found. However, much more research is needed to learn how results might differ depending on the frequency of use and the individual.

Researchers in the UK reviewed 18 different studies across 15 years of research (2008 to 2023), involving both animal models and human participants.

"By synthesizing findings from preclinical models, clinical studies, and real-world evidence, we aimed to elucidate the potential of cannabinoids, in fostering healthy aging, mitigate age-related decline, and promote well-being in older populations," write the researchers in their published paper.

The scientists focused on the key cannabis compounds cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), finding some strong res
