THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF CANNABIS


The following is a brief summary of the most common physiologic effects of cannabis on each of our bodily systems.


MARIJUANA MYTHS, CANNABIS FACTS

Here are some of the common myths about marijuana, many of which have been sponsored by industries that benefit from the prohibition of marijuana, along with the facts:

THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM


As you learn more about the potential therapeutic effects of cannabis, and its most active constituents, the cannabinoids, one thing will become quickly evident: cannabis has a profound influence on the human body. This one herb seems to affect every aspect of our bodies and minds. How is this possible?


HOW SAFE IS CANNABIS?

In 1999, the United States National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine released the most comprehensive review of medical cannabis to date.  They found that marijuana is not a completely benign substance. It is a powerful drug with a variety of effects.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MEDICINE-STRAINS


There are hundreds of varieties (i.e. strains, cultivars) of medical cannabis, each with different medicinal effects. The unique properties of each strain arise from their synergy of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds.


MEET THE PHYTOCANNABINOIDS – THE PRIMARY ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS OF CANNABIS

Phytocannabinoids are a class of compounds found in plants (phyto-) that act upon the endocannabinoid system.  The vast majority of phytocannabinoids are found in the species cannabis sativa, but other cannabinoids have been found elsewhere in the plant kingdom, such as piper nigrum (black pepper) and echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower).


USING MEDICAL CANNABIS: DELIVERY SYSTEMS

The beneficial compounds in cannabis can be administered by inhaling smoke or vapors, ingesting cannabis added to food or drink, swallowing capsules, taking liquid extracts such as tinctures or oils absorbed through the mouth or swallowed, or applying cannabis lotions, salves or patches to the skin.


CANNABIS DOSING: LESS IS (USUALLY) MORE

Cannabis is unlike any other medicine due to its wide range of effective dosages, incredible safety profile, broad physiologic mechanisms of action, and versatility in treating a wide range of symptoms and diseases.  Using the correct dose of cannabis is the single most important factor in having a successful therapeutic relationship with this powerful herb.
