    Anandamide, an endogenous ligand of CB1 and CB2

    Endocannabinoids are produced by our own bodies the main ones being Anandamide and 2-AG.

    Anandamide

    • Anandamide was discovered in 1992. The name comes from the Sanskrit word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and amide from its chemistry.

    2-AG

    Treating somatic issues

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

    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.
