  • Great video!

    The only weak point was not wearing a white lab coat, (with name tag) and standing in front of an incomprehensible chart.

    I've known all along that we were designed by nature to use cannibis, thanks for the conformation!

    Thumbs up and a subscribe!

  • Cannabis makes you younger. eat more edibles and toke up:D

  • 2:42 Energy can flow from a source to a sink

    "The Endocannabinoids that we produce are in such small quantities and rapidly degrade."

    Dr. Nagarkatti, University of South Carolina

  • 3:26 A higher level of organization

    "THC induces the Cancerous cell to make a fatty substance called ceramide, which prompts the cell to start devouring itself, noncancerous cells don't make ceramide when they come into contact with THC. The healthy cells don't die."

    Biochemists Guillermo Velasco & Manuel Guzmán, Complutense University

  • 4:00 Then pop something new occurs

    "Carboxyl group (attached to THC) doesn't allow it to fit into the Cannabinoid Receptor completely, so it needs to be Decarboxylated (removed by Rick Simpson's method) then THC can then slide all the way into the receptor."

    Dr. Frankel

  • 4:53 Lineage

    -"Endocannabinoids in mammals is an evolutionarily ancient phenomenon that may date back to unicellular common ancestor of animals & plants."

    PMID: 16596778

    -"The Endocannabinoid System is an ancient signaling system."

    PMID: 19456333

  • 5:29 Cannabinoid Receptors (CB1 & CB2)

    Are in our skin, brain, retina, pancreas, uterus, immune system, intestines, liver, spleen, kidney, ribs, white blood cells, heart, bones & bone marrow (STEM CELLS) etc. Without the 600+ Million year old Endocannabinoid System*, Stem Cells would act like a car without a driver.

    *Dr. Guy, Executive Chairman of GW Pharmaceuticals, UK

  • 6:30 Insects

    "We hypothesized that Cannabinoid Receptors were lost in insects."

    PMID: 11447587

    8:08 Immune System

    "Normal & Cancerous Immune cells contain Cannabinoid Receptors (CB2), the CB2 can act like a target. Cannabinoids once they bind with the CB2, they can tell the Cancer cell to die. Therefore can be used effectively as an Anti-Cancer agent."

    Dr. Nagarkatti, University of South Carolina
