The mission of the Endocannabinoid System Network (ECSN) is to serve as a multifaceted educational resource that will help scientists and clinicians understand and communicate the mechanisms and functions of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) integrating knowledge of the cellular/molecular basis with the neural and systemic effects.

so now i'm confused. how is it then that our body feels the way it does from phytocannabinoids? How does the phytocannabinoids work with the body?

[qnbs7]

@4littlebear4 phytocannabinoids bind to the same receptors as the endocannabinoids but the body's own cannabinoids are produced only when needed in small amounts compared phytocannabinoids that also have stronger and longer effects on us... listen to dr. raphael mechoulam (there are very good videos on youtube and googlevideo of him explaining a lot of this kind of stuff)

[germanicelt]

Does the body produce it's own endocannabinoids and if so, when does it do it. During sex?

@germanicelt "Scientific American published an article in December 2004, entitled "The Brain's Own Marijuana" discussing the endogenous cannabinoid system.

The current understanding recognizes the role that endocannabinoids play in almost every major life function in the human body." (Wikipedia)

I cannot understand how anyone cannot see how much of an intricate part of our evolution endocannanbinoids and photocannabinoids are, cannabis has clearly been a huge part of our evolution for there to be so many receptors that are responsible for so many vital functions in the body. Cannabis with equal ratios of THC and CBD is nothing but beneficial to us. My faith in humanity is dwindling by the day while cannabis remains illegal. Legalisation is the only logical choice.

legalize it... u cant persecute someone for what we all GUilty OF... HAVING ENDO-CANNABANOIDZ YES WE CANNABIS

[TiboTV]

this is the perfect defense for anY CANNABIS ARGUment even if u never tried Cannabis u were Always producing it in your brain;;;;; your brain MAkes its own SKUNK Kush purple urkle charas SHANtiBABA ///and it has built in bud receptors,,,STuFF N PUFF

@RunAMuckGirl2  There is no damage from MSG. MSG is Mono Sodium Glutamate. Which is the Sodium salt of Glutamic Acid, a critical amino acid. In kitchen speak...you can make MSG at home by mixing amino acids & baking powder. MSG exists naturally in your body.
