Cannabidiol has been shown to halt prions, the proteins that cause neurodegenerative diseases like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and mad cow. The formation and accumulation of prions was prevented with the aide of cannabidiol during a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience in 2007. For mice that were infected, CBD increased their survival time by about a week.

Cool, but the link to the study (which was taken from the High Times article) is incorrect as it points to a later journal comment to the original study. Here's the correct one.

Misleading title too.  it seems to mitigate damage rather than stop prions.  Study was 2007, havent seen anything more recent in the related studies.
