Natural history of endogenous cannabinoids, what they do in the brain and how they work differently than neurotransmitters.

Cannabinoid receptors are exclusively located in the pre-synaptic structure.

Opposite of the other neurotransmitters, it's done in a retrograde manner, starting when the other neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine have ended.

Cannabinoids are brought inside the cell and find enzymes that break them down to complete the process of deactivation.

Scientific research to improve upon the body's reception system as designed by nature.

This enables the blocking formation of endocannabinoids if it's involved in some pathological problem, for example to help control obesity with Rimonabant (also known as SR141716, trade names Acomplia, Bethin, Monaslim, Remonabent, Riobant, Slimona, Rimoslim, and Zimulti, Riomont)

Despite the taboos against it, how do we know about pain management via cannabinoids? Continuous recurrency of analgesic action since the very inception of studies on cannabis. ie: "Dispensatory - commentary of the pharmacopia of the US and Britain" by Robert Christison from 1848 has the very first book in the United States to write about cannabis as medicine.
