medications with delta-9-THC as the active ingredient (Cannabis and Cannabinoids, 2015, para. 7). It is taken by mouth for patients who suffer from chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting and haven’t responded to other therapeutic options and in some cases, it is found to be more effective than other FDA approved nausea and vomiting medications (Cannabis and Cannabinoids, 2015, para. 7). Another study highlighting marijuana’s cannabinoid delta-9-THC effectiveness was related to pain. Oral…

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that repress neurotransmitters in the brain. Repressing the neurotransmitters in the brain the body responds in a different type of way. The compounds attach to the different neurotransmitters and make your body block out different feelings such as pain. These cannabinoid chemicals are the most important part of the plant in a medical purpose. An scientific journal from leaf science said, Cannabinoids work by interacting with specific…

with most discussed topics supported by two scientific experiments for each claim. Two experiments that strengthened the claim were: an experiment on a specific tumor cell (glioma) incubated with cannabinoids, and another experiment where the analgesic effect of synergistic interaction between cannabinoids and opioids was investigated. On the other hand, the counterclaim had: a discovery of alterations of brain tissue, and various symptoms that correlates with the intake of THC and cannabidol.…

marijuana does work like other prescriptions drugs. “Cannabinoids [the active ingredient within the marijuana plant] affect the user by interacting with specific receptors, located within different parts of the central nervous system (National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre, 2008).” These receptors are known as CB1 and CB2 (National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre, 2008). Depending on the part of the brain the cannabinoids interact determines the effect they will have on…

applications and are used in religious and cultural settings. The stalk of the cannabis ruderalis species is used to manufacture hemp fiber. Cannabinoids, a diverse group of compounds, are synthesized by all three species of cannabis. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that react with cannabinoid receptors in an individual’s brain. The most well-known cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects of smoking or ingesting…

efficacy. When you think about that, it's pretty crazy that setting something on fire and inhaling the resulting smoke (thus getting the cannabinoids in a low-concentration form through the lungs, which are not meant to ingest things) works better than many expensive pharmaceuticals. But with cannabis extract oil, there are two primary differences. First, the cannabinoids are much more concentrated than with smoking, so it has a more powerful effect on your system. Second, the oil is ingested,…

precautionary measures to avoid being afflicted with Alzheimer’s. There is research that suggests altering the lifestyle can lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. There are also two more ways that people can stay healthy and they are: using cannabinoids and avoiding benzodiazepines.…

appears to be thoughtfully designed to receive the benefits of the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids, the active compounds in the cannabis plant are known to relieve pain, heal illness, kill cancer cells, just to name a few benefits. The human endocannabinoid system, the system of receptors that bind with and process cannabinoids introduced into the body, is complex. Only in the early 90s did researchers discover the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and the research since then has not been robust.…

#1 Cannabinoids are a very interesting subject when i comes to the controversial world of marijuana. I wrote about this CBD for a purpose to maintain a steady focus on the positive medical research that comes behind the chemical. Epilepsy and many other forms of disabilities are beneficially impacted by the cannabinoid in cannabis. I believe the topic struck home because I am have a friend who suffers dearly from epilepsy and had over one hundred seizures reduced to a mere 1 per month which…
