Therapeutic Cannabinoids
Medical Cannabis
Cannabis, and its active ingredients, cannabinoids, have been reported to have therapeutic effects in diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, autism, schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Crohn’s disease, neuropathic pain, multiple sclerosis, migraine and many other disorders.
At GH Medical we aim to collect the available anecdotal evidence and where possible substantiate this with rigorous, science-based evidence. Hereto we will isolate each individual cannabinoid, test their biochemical and physiological function and most importantly their therapeutic potential, either alone or in combination with other cannabinoids. We will first test which cannabinoid (cocktail) most effectively reduces tumour growth. After that, we aim to tackle other diseases and disorders.
Genetics
We have the world’s largest genetic library of cannabis strains including several unique landraces, which were obtained by the Strain Hunters on expeditions to the most remote regions of the world. These landraces are reported to have therapeutic properties but are mostly unknown to the general public and scientific world.
Analytic Testing
At the GH Medical laboratory we offer clients complete analytical testing for the usual contaminants that are found in cannabis, such as mould, fungus, bacteria, chemical residues, salts, remaining solvent and pesticides. In addition our lab offers full quantitative profiling of cannabinoids and other terpenes.
GH Medical is an initiative of the Strain Hunters Foundation and GHM Europe and is based in The Netherlands. Our activities include consulting, conducting scientific & medical research, product development, and quality control services. GH Medical provides governments and organisations in legally regulated cannabis industries the means to protect public health with advanced chemical testing.
