Does his mean that grass equivalents both help and harm, or just help in liver fibrosis?

My personal belief is that "grass equivalents" would contain THC and active THC variants that have differential activity at the two major receptors. I also fee that it's an open question, receptors other than CB1 and CB2 may be tickled by plant components. 1. It's a single study, and thus doesn't "mean" anything. One just watches and learns, in context?? 2. It's an induced model of injury, and the antagonist ("grass" is an agonist) "decreased the wound-healing response". So..... first blush, an agonist might not be so good if you're liver is fibrosing, but they're also discussing upside.
