    Cannabis is the oldest and most versatile medicine known to man.

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

    Endocannabinoid receptors

    Main article in wikipedia Endocannabinoid system

    Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2.

    CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs and [1]

    CB2 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. [1]

    Endocannabinoids

    Anandamide, an endogenous ligand of CB1 and CB2

    Endocannabinoids are produced by our own bodies from Arachidonic acid or Omega-6 fatty acid[2].

    The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

    Anandamide

    Anandamide was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the Sanskrit word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and amide from its chemistry.

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

    2-AG

    2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous agonist of the CB1 receptor

    .

    2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

    N-Arachidonoyl dopamine

    N-Arachidonoyl dopamine discovered in 2000.

    2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether

    2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether discovered in 2001.

    Virodhamine

    Virodhamine discovered in 2002

    Lysophosphatidylinositol

    Lysophosphatidylinositol is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.


    Phytocannabinoids

    Rare 11-leafer Cannabis sativa

    Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, THC and CBD.

    Full list of known phytocannabinoids from Wikipedia:

    THC

    Tetrahydrocannabinol is the psychoactive compound that brings the 'high' most recreational users are chasing.

    THCA

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

    CBD

    Cannabidiol has the most medical applications of all phytocannabinoids.

    CBDA

    Cannabidiolic Acid is the raw form. Decarboxylating CBDA yields CBD.

    CBN

    Cannabinol

    CBG

    Cannabigerol

    CBC

    Cannabichromene

    CBL

    Cannabicyclol

    CBV

    Cannabivarin

    THCV

    Tetrahydrocannabivarin

    CBDV

    Cannabidivarin

    CBCV

    Cannabichromevarin

    CBGV

    Cannabigerovarin

    CBGM

    Cannabigerol Monomethyl Ether

    CBE

    Cannabielsoin

    CBT

    Cannabicitran


    Treating somatic issues

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

    Pain treatment

    Cancers

    Internet is rife with stories about winning the battle against cancer with the help of phytocannabinoids. What does the science say?

    1. Anti-proliferative - cannabis is against tumor growth [3]
    2. Anti-metastatic - cannabis is against cancer spreading to other parts in the body because of metastatic activity[3]
    3. Anti-angiogenetic - cannabis is against new blood vein growth to tumor[3]
    4. Apoptotic - cannabis causes cancer cells to programmedly kill themselves via Apoptosis. [3]
    5. Pain relief - cannabis works very well against the somatic and nonsomatic pains brought on by cancer.
    6. Appetite stimulator - cannabis helps maintain a good appetite.
    7. Anti-nauseatic - cannabis helps with the chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. [4] if you receive chemotherapy.

    Phytocannabinoids are harmless to healthy cannabinoid receptor containing cells.
