The human body is home to a complex cell signalling network called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). It includes endocannabinoids, enzymes and cannabinoid receptors and plays an instrumental role in homeostasis. The ECS regulates physiological conditions including:

• Blood pressure
• Bone remodeling & growth
• Cardiovascular system function
• Chronic pain
• Digestion & appetite stimulation
• Embryonic development
• Energy balance
• Immune system responses
• Inflammation
• Learning
• Liver function
• Memory
• Metabolism
• Mood
• Motor control
• Muscle formation
• Nausea and vomiting control
• Pain
• Reproductive system function
• Skin & nerve function
• Sleep
• Stress

Endocannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptors, send signals to the ECS to generate a response and cause different results, depending on the location of the receptor. The main cannabinoid receptors are:

• CB1 – Found in the digestive and nervous system (consisting of the brain and spinal cord)
• CB2 – Found in immune cells

The human body produces endocannabinoids. There are also cannabinoids available in the cannabis plant. The most abundant and well-known cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabinoids bind to CB1 and CB2 receptors to produce effects similar to endocannabinoids. The therapeutic benefits are still being studied and realized.

We are seeing that cannabis may be advantageous in the treatment of a variety of conditions such as:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Anorexia
• Appetite loss
• Cancer
• Crohn’s disease
• Epilepsy
• Glaucoma
• HIV/AIDS
• Huntington’s disease
• Inflammation
• Nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy
• Muscle spasms
• Muscle tightness associated with multiple sclerosis
• Pain
• Parkinson’s disease
• PTSD
• Reduce anxiety
• Schizophrenia
• Seizures
• Sleep difficulties 
• Wasting syndrome (cachexia)

Cannabis Consumption Methods

For cannabis consumption methods, you can smoke it, vape it, eat it, apply it to your skin or place a few drops under your tongue. While it’s a matter of personal preference, the methods work differently in the body, altering the time it takes to feel the effects and how long they last.
