So far everyone in my family who got strep throat has been perscribed anti-biotics. I was reading and aparently weed has anti-biotic properties?

Antibiotic Uses Of Cannabis

During the past 20 years in western medicine, marijuana has been assigned antibiotic activity; as a result, several studies relating to this possibility have been undertaken. H. B. M. Murphy (1963: 20) reported investigations in Eastern Europe.

He stated that it is alleged to be active against gram positive organisms at 1/100,000 dilution, but to be largely inactivated by plasma, so that prospects for its use appear to be, confined to E. N. T. (ear, nose and throat) and skin infections.
Strep throat certainly seems to fall into that category. I figured placebo affect at best but whoa, maybe it really did make a difference!
