Interaction of Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol with phenobarbitone in protecting mice from electrically induced convulsions

In a previous study (Chesher & Jackson, 1974) we reported that the protection against electrically-induced seizures afforded mice by phenytoin, was potentiated significantly by Ag-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). In contrast, these cannabinoids failed to alter the effect of phenobarbitone on the convulsive threshold to leptazol induced seizures. Although TMC itself showed a weak anticonvulsant activity against electrically induced seizures, it failed to affect the convulsive…

Rather low doses of pentobarbital and Δ9-THC are effective as discriminative cues in pigeons and the cues thus induced are different, compared with earlier drug antagonism data obtained among mammals.

These studies suggest that CBD avoids the psychoactive effects of the endocannabinoid system to provide a well-tolerated, promising therapeutic for the treatment of seizures, while whole-plant cannabis can both contribute to and reduce seizures.

The mouse is as suitable as the rat for anticonvulsant screening purposes and in some respects this species is to be preferred, but because of reasons presented in the discussion, it would seem prudent to use more than one species for the definitive comparison of antiepileptic agents.

It is concluded that cannabis may affect pentobarbitone and ether anaesthesia in mice at least partially by a direct depressant effect, and that the cannabis‐induced prolongation of anaesthesia is probably unrelated to any effect on central 5‐hydroxytryptamine or catecholamine neurones.
