'Cannabis' acts as antidepressant
A chemical found in cannabis can act like an antidepressant, researchers have found.
A team from Canada's University of Saskatchewan suggest the compound causes nerve cells to regenerate.
The Journal of Clinical Investigation study showed rats given a cannabinoid were less anxious and less depressed.
But UK experts warned other conflicting research had linked cannabis, and other cannabinoids, to an increased risk of depression and anxiety.
