Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits. 

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor or a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. The natural therapeutics article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

== Alzheimer's and cannabis ==
Cannabis has been found to be beneficial for [[w:Alzheimer's disease|Alzheimer's]] sufferers. Especially true this is for THC which inhibits the formulation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes Alzheimer's disease.

== Cannabis ==

'''Cannabis''' is the oldest and most versatile medicine known to humankind.

'''[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]''' and '''[[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]]''' are the main cannabis variants though most strains are mixes of these. A third cannabis line is the '''[[w:Cannabis ruderalis|Cannabis ruderalis]]''', a rugged northern cannabis that has adapted to flower even under northern long summer days.

Cannabis can be applied to treat a wide assortment of illnesses. In this case it is called [[w:medical cannabis|medical cannabis]]. 

Due to the inbuilt default to always take the safe route and also to backup the back of your fellow MD colleague the Wikipedia does not yield the right infos on how useful and versatile a medication cannabis is.

Research has been held back by arcane laws even as cannabis is the oldest medicine known to man and it should be gladly appreciated and not outlawed because of big pharma interests.

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB<sub>1</sub>]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB<sub>2</sub>]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB<sub>1</sub> receptors =====
CB<sub>1</sub> receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB<sub>2</sub> receptors =====
CB<sub>2</sub> receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB<sub>1</sub> and CB<sub>2</sub>]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB<sub>1</sub> and CB<sub>2</sub> receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry. 

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB<sub>1</sub> receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature. 

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:
 
=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

* '''[[w:Cannabis edible|Edibles]]''', '''[[w:Tincture of cannabis|tinctures]]''' and '''[[w:Hash oil|cannabis oil]]''' may be administered orally.
