Cannabis
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.
The 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
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-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.
Links about 2-AG
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
Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, THC and CBD.
List of known phytocannabinoids from Wikipedia:
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
- THCA (Tetrahydrocannbinolic acid)
- CBD (Cannabidiol)
- CBDA (Cannabidiolic Acid)
- 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)
THC
Tetrahydrocannabinol is the psychoactive compound that brings the 'high' most recreational users are chasing.
THCA
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend of 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.
CBD
Cannabidiol has the most medical applications of all phytocannabinoids.
“Cannabidiol has little affinity for CB1 and CB2 receptors but acts as an indirect antagonist of cannabinoid agonists.[3]”
CBDA
Cannabidiolic Acid is the raw form. Decarboxylating CBDA yields CBD.
CBN
CBG
“Cannabigerol has been shown to promote apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth in mice. It acts as an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, and CB1 receptor antagonist.[4] It also binds to the CB2 receptor.[4]”
CBC
CBL
CBV
THCV
Tetrahydrocannabivarin can be used to inhibit appetite.
Links about THCV
CBDV
CBCV
Cannabichromevarin
CBGV
Cannabigerovarin
CBGM
Cannabigerol Monomethyl Ether
CBE
Cannabielsoin
CBT
Cannabicitran
Cannabis therapeutics
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 with cannabis
“You just don't feel like thinking about the pain.”
“There is more to it than that.”
Cannabis is anti-inflammatory which helps relieve some of the pain.
Epilepsy and cannabis
Cannabis can be used to treat epilepsy.
Asthma and cannabis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and cannabis
Cannabis helps with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and motor neurone disease (MND).
Autoimmune diseases and cannabis
Cannabis helps with many autoimmune diseases.
Links about autoimmune diseases and cannabis
Rheumatoid arthritis and cannabis
Cannabis helps with Rheumatoid arthritis.
Links about Rheumatoid arthritis and cannabis
Lupus and cannabis
Cannabis helps with Systemic lupus erythematosus
Coeliac disease and cannabis
Cannabis helps with Coeliac disease.
Psoriasis and cannabis
Cannabis helps with Psoriasis when applied externally.
Type 1 diabetes and cannabis
Multiple sclerosis and cannabis
Cannabis is very good against Multiple sclerosis.
Cancers and cannabis
Internet is rife with stories about winning the battle against cancer with the help of phytocannabinoids. What does the science say?
- Anti-proliferative - cannabis is against tumor growth [5]
- Anti-metastatic - cannabis is against cancer spreading to other parts in the body because of metastatic activity[5]
- Anti-angiogenetic - cannabis is against new blood vein growth to tumor[5]
- Apoptotic - cannabis causes cancer cells to programmedly kill themselves via Apoptosis. [5]
- Pain relief - cannabis works very well against the somatic and nonsomatic pains brought on by cancer.
- Appetite stimulator - cannabis helps maintain a good appetite.
- Anti-nauseatic - cannabis helps with the chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. [6] if you receive chemotherapy.
Phytocannabinoids are harmless to healthy cannabinoid receptor containing cells.
