Cannabis Science Inc has
indicated that the form of cannabis which they have
produced
for distribution under medical supervision, has anti-inflammatory
qualities
which make it a prime candidate for relieving some of the more severe
symptoms
of the Flu thereby reducing it's effects.
"Our
lozenges appear to down-regulate the body's excessive inflammatory
response
to the influenza virus,
which could reduce the deadly consequences of an infection
into
something that is more like a common cold."

Robert J. Melamede, Director and Chief Science Officer of Cannabis
