CONTRIBUTOR
In the eyes of popular culture,
cannabis consumers arent exactly
models of concentration and cognitive
performance. So when a small group
of researchers began exploring
cannabis as alternative treatment for
attention deficit disorders, there was of
course some scoffing and skepticism.
Nevertheless, with so many medical
marijuana patients swearing by its ability
to promote focus in place of prescription
stimulants, these doctors sought to take
a closer look at the scientific basis of this
counterintuitive phenomenon.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
better known as ADHD, is a controversial
diagnosis marked by distractibility,
hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Adults
are more likely to be diagnosed with
attention deficit disorder, or ADD, which
lacks this hyperactivity characteristic,
but is similar in other ways to ADHD.
More than one in 10 children in the U.S.
will be diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, a
figure that has grown exponentially in the
last 50 years. Since 1957, doctors have
been treating ADD/ADHD patients with
psychostimulants like Adderall, Ritalin,
and Concerta medications that are
molecularly indistinguishable from drugs
like methamphetamine and cocaine.
Antonio Rodriguez, diagnosed with
ADD/ADHD at age six, had been among
the masses prescribed stimulant
medications. I remember having
headaches all the time to the point
where I wasnt able to sleep, Antonio
said, adding that his appetite was also
nonexistent until treating with cannabis;
10
CANNABIS & ADD/ADHD

and not only was cannabis lifting the
stimulant side effects, it improved
Antonios ADD/ADHD symptoms.
For the first time ever, I was in the
state where I could really get my mind
together.
Having only been taught the dangers of
using cannabis, Antonio was cautious
about trying it for the first time. I got
scared about the whole addiction side
of cannabis, Antonio said. I was waiting
for the moment my body asked me for
weed, but it never happened.
For those coming from an anti-cannabis
background, explaining its therapeutic
properties to friends and family can be
difficult. This was no less true for Antonio,
despite the fact that his performance in
school had won him college acceptance
with a scholarship. The reality is, theres
far too little research on cannabis and
ADD/ADHD to know exactly how the
two interact. Still, the data and results
emerging from initial investigations show
that there is more digging to be done.
One main physiological irregularity of
ADD/ADHD is the brains shortage of
dopamine, a chemical neurotransmitter
involved in cognitive processes like
memory and attention. Medications like
Adderall and Ritalin stimulate dopamine,
thereby promoting concentration, but
come with a myriad of unpleasant side
effects and withdrawal symptoms.
Dr. David Bearman, a figurehead of
cannabis research, has studied the
relationship between the cannabinoid
system and ADHD and discovered
potential
therapeutic
value
as
cannabinoids interact with the brains
dopamine management systems.

Cannabis appears to treat ADD and
ADHD by increasing the availability of
dopamine, Dr. Bearman wrote. This
then has the same effect but is a different
mechanism of action than stimulants like
Ritalin (methylphenidate) and dexedrine
amphetamine, which act by binding to
the dopamine and interfering with the
metabolic breakdown of dopamine.
Put simply, the compounds found in
cannabis, called cannabinoids, could
potentially correct the dopamine
deficiency observed in ADD/ADHD
patients if dosed appropriately and
administered safely. Even in its raw form,
cannabis is able to provide the mental
slowdown necessary for concentration
in many patients. Boring and arduous
tasks become more manageable, and
mood swings tend to level out. But why?
The most accepted theory about ADHD
rests on the fact that about 70 percent
of the brains function is to regulate input
to the other 30 percent, Dr. Bearman
says. Basically the brain is overwhelmed
with too much information coming too
fast. In ADHD, the brain is cluttered with
and too aware of all the nuances of a
persons daily experience.
While most medical professionals agree
that anecdotal evidence is not sufficient
in recommending cannabis for ADD/
ADHD, researchers are optimistic about
the potential cannabis is demonstrating.
When political blockades let up and
further research resumes, it could be
that cannabinoid therapy provides a
frontier for safer, more effective ADD/
ADHD medication.

B. LE GRAND
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Bogota (AFP) - Colombian President
Juan Manuel Santos signed a decree
last month legalizing and regulating
medical marijuana, the latest softening
of the countrys hardline tactics in the
war on drugs.
In a nationally televised address, Santos
announced it would be fully legal to grow,
process, import and export cannabis
and its derivatives for medicinal and
scientific use.
This decree allows licenses to be
granted for the possession of seeds,
cannabis plants and marijuana. It places
Colombia in the group of countries that
are at the forefront... in the use of natural
resources to fight disease, Santos said
from his presidential palace.
He added in his statement that the
measure does not go against our
international commitments on drug
control.
Colombias government has long been
an ally of the United States in fighting
international drug trafficking, using its
military and billions of US dollars to try
to shed its title as the worlds biggest
cocaine producer.
But Colombia has shown signs of easing
its hardline stance in recent months.
Santoss announcement follows a
recent decision to stop aerially spraying
the herbicide glyphosate on fields of
coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine.
The World Health Organization warned
in April 2015 that the chemical, sold by
16
US biotech company Monsanto under

the brand name Roundup, is probably
carcinogenic.
pot, and Mexico will open a national

debate in January 2016 on overhauling
its prohibitionist marijuana laws.
Santos also announced in September

that Colombia would begin giving land to
farmers who stop growing coca.
Colombia decriminalized possession of

up to 20 grams of marijuana in 2012,
and it is legal to grow up to 20 cannabis
plants in the country. But consuming it
in public and selling it are illegal.
Prior to now, medical marijuana had

fallen into a legal gray area in Colombia.
It was authorized under a 1986 law,
but the lack of regulation prevented
production on a national level.
The manufacture, export, sale, and
medical and scientific use of this and
other substances have been permitted
for several decades in Colombia.
However, they were never regulated.
That is what we are doing today, Santos
said.
Under the new regulation decree,
growers will apply for licenses from the
National Narcotics Council, while those
seeking to manufacture cannabis-based
medicine will apply for permits from the
health ministry. The health ministry will
also grant permits to export such drugs
to countries where they are legal.
Our goal is for patients to be able
to access medications made in
Colombia that are safe, high-quality
and accessible. It is also an opportunity
to promote scientific research in our
country, Santos said.
The push to legalize marijuana
appears to be gaining momentum in
Latin America, for both medical and
recreational use.
Uruguay legalized the production, sale
and use of marijuana in 2013, Chiles
Congress is debating a bill to legalize
Medical marijuana is already used in

Colombia on a small scale. For example,
some epileptics use cannabis extract
to control their seizures. But health
professionals and pharmaceutical
companies say the new decree will
make it much easier to buy, sell and
manufacture cannabis medicines.
Illegal drugs have given rise to horrific
violence by drug cartels in Colombia,
and have fueled a five-decade conflict
between leftist guerrillas and the
Colombian
government
that
is
responsible for the deaths of more than
220,000 people.
Colombia has received $9 billion in
US funding since 1999 under Plan
Colombia, a military and economic
cooperation program aimed at
combating drug trafficking.
However, it still remains a top producer
of illegal drugs, particularly cocaine.
Colombias cocaine production surged
by 52 percent last year, to 442 tons,
according to the United Nations.
It is yet to be seen if legalizing the use
of medical marijuana in Colombia is
a precursor to the legalization and
recreational use of other drugs, but its
a step in the right direction for scientific
research regarding cannabis.

MEDICAL CORNER:
DR. NICOLA DAVIES
CONTRIBUTOR (420INSIGHT.COM)
In the U.S., over 29.1 million people are currently
diagnosed with diabetes. This is almost 10
percent of the population. Furthermore, two
out of three of these people will die from the
condition or the many complications that arise
from it. This has prompted researchers to
look into how medical marijuana can help treat
diabetes and its associated complications.
Type 1 diabetes, often termed juvenile
diabetes, is a genetic disorder where the
pancreas doesnt produce enough insulin
a hormone that allows the body to process
the sugars from carbohydrates. Sufferers of
Type 1 diabetes often take multiple injections
of insulin each day. On the other hand, Type 2
diabetes (also known as adult onset diabetes)
is a disorder where the body doesnt process
insulin properly, often signaling the pancreas
to make more insulin than required. This is the
most common type of diabetes.
Medical marijuana has been the focus of
several studies examining potential diabetes
treatment. One such study, published in
the American Journal of Medicine, found
that active users of marijuana had a more
productive carbohydrate metabolism than
people who didnt use marijuana.1 Murray
Mittleman, Associate Professor of Medicine
at Harvard and author of the study, said,
[Marijuana users] fasting insulin levels were
lower, and they appeared to be less resistant to
the insulin produced by their body to maintain a
normal blood-sugar level.
The study comprised over 4,657 men and
women participating in the National Health
and Nutrition Examination Survey between
2005 and 2010 48 percent had smoked
marijuana at least once and 12 percent were
current cannabis smokers. The researchers
controlled for other factors that might impact
diabetes risk, such as gender, income, alcohol
use, cigarette smoking and physical activity.
Even after these adjustments, the current
marijuana users showed fasting insulin levels
thatwere16percentlowerthanthoseofformer
users or those who had never used the drug.
These findings are applicable to both types of
diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, a lower fasting
level might eliminate the need for an insulin
injection at that time. While injections wouldnt
be completely eliminated, it could decrease the
number needed per day. For those with Type
2 diabetes, being less resistant to the insulin
could help control the advancing of the disease
by improving the bodys ability to manage sugar
levels naturally.
30
Some of the complications that can

arise from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
are neuropathy, glaucoma, high blood
CANNABIS & DIABETES

pressure, and peripheral vascular disease.
Medical marijuana has been studied to
see its effects on each of these conditions.
Neuropathy, a nerve damage contracted from
certain diseases or disorders, is found in 60 to
70 percent of all people with diabetes. More
specifically, there are four types of diabetesrelated neuropathy: peripheral (located in the
hands, arms, legs and feet), autonomic (which
affects the nerves that control blood glucose
levels, blood pressure, and the heart), focal
(specific nerve damage to the head, torso, and
leg), and proximal (sometimes called diabetic
amyotrophy and usually centralized on one side
of the body in the hips, thighs, and buttocks).
Several studies have shown vaporized cannabis
to reduce pain and slow the advancing nerve
damage of all four types of neuropathy. In some
types, there was more than a 30 percent
improvement without any significant impact on
daily functioning or cognitive abilities.
Glaucoma is another complication that can
arise with diabetes. The general term for
glaucoma-related complications is retinopathy.
People who have diabetes are 40 percent
more likely to contract glaucoma than people
without the disease. Glaucoma occurs when
pressure builds inside the eye, eventually
cutting off blood flow and damaging the
optic nerve. Vision is gradually lost due to the
continued pressure and nerve damage.
Medical marijuana is already being
recommended for glaucoma sufferers, as it
can directly reduce the inflammation caused
by the nerve damage and increased blood flow.
However, since the relief is only temporary,
some doctors believe that people need to
partake every 2 or 3 hours (around the
clock) to maintain a consistent eye pressure.
This could lead to other health complications,
making doctors more hesitant to recommend
it. There is also a fear that glaucoma sufferers,
without first consulting a doctor, might choose
to self-medicate due to the belief that it cant
hurt. Marijuana does help ease the pain, but
glaucoma is a progressive disease with no
cure. Without a doctors supervision, those
who choose to self-medicate can harm the
results of tests that could detect or track the
progression of the disease.
High blood pressure is often a complication
of Type 2 diabetes and, although medical
marijuana does lower blood pressure, it also
briefly elevates heart rate after smoking. As a
result, marijuana isnt recommended for those
with pre-existing heart conditions. However,
studies have shown that prolonged marijuana
users have a tolerance for these side-effects
and have suffered no adverse effects of the
briefly quickened heart rates.
Peripheral vascular disease is caused by
atherosclerosis the process in which fatty

material builds up inside the arteries over
time. This fatty material hardens as it mixes
with calcium, scar tissue, and other materials,
creating plaque on the arterial walls. This
plaque can inhibit or completely block blood
flow through the arteries. People with high
blood sugar levels caused by diabetes can
have narrow, weak blood vessels, in addition to
accelerated fat levels in the blood, and higher
blood pressure which dramatically affects the
rate of developing atherosclerosis. All of this
exponentially increases the chance of angina,
heart attacks, and strokes.
Medical marijuana isnt recommended for
sufferers of peripheral vascular disease.
Although studies have shown that medical
marijuana can significantly decrease angina,
it can also cause acute coronary events. The
increased heart rate, combined with the
combustion inhalation of smoke, is thought to
be one of the main reasons for the possible
coronary complications and the lack of doctor
recommendation. This has begun a debate of
the use of synthetic cannabinoids, like Sativex
and Marinol, versus hemp oil and vaporized
medical marijuana.
Having
received
Drug
Enforcement
Administration approval of both synthetics,
Sativex is approved by several countries as
a treatment for pain and nausea of cancer
patients. Marinol has been approved by the U.S.
FoodandDrugAdministrationasananti-nausea
solution for people with AIDS. Both synthetics
have more severe side-effects than medical
marijuana; thus, controversy exists about
whether their use is as effective as vaporized
medical marijuana or hemp oil. Neither Sativex
nor Marinol have been studied for peripheral
vascular disease or diabetes control.
There are many unknowns about the effects
of medical marijuana for diabetes prevention
and control, and studies are becoming
harder to fund as the controversy of legality
in the U.S. continues. With mid-term elections
approaching, politicians seem to be wary
of openly supporting legalized marijuana or
studies for its various capabilities. However,
research has already shown medical
marijuana to be effective in treating not only
diabetes, but also some, if not all, of its possible
complications.

Marijuana supporters have long argued

that the plants active ingredients, known
as cannabinoids, are safe and effective
treatments for pain, nausea, and other
ailments. The most active cannabinoid
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THCis
known to have anti-inflammatory properties.
But it is also responsible for the plants
psychotropic effects. Now researchers
say that another cannabinoid, called betacaryophyllene, or (E)-BCP, helps combat
inflammation without affecting the brain.
(E)-BCP is already part of many peoples
daily diets, the researchers note. Foods
that are particularly high in the compound
include black pepper, oregano, basil, lime,
cinnamon, carrots, and celery. Essential oils

Cannabinoids in marijuana are known to

primarily affect two of the many molecular
receptors in the human body. The CB1
receptor is found in the brain and central
nervous system and is responsible for the
high people experience when they smoke pot.
The other receptor, called CB2, is found in
tissues in the rest of the body and triggers
a cascade of biochemical reactions that can
help combat inflammation. Our interest is
to exploit the pharmacological nature of the
CB2 receptor, because it does not have
psychotropic side effects, Gertsch explained
in an email.
Targeting the CB2 receptor could be a
therapeutic strategy to prevent or treat
diseases like Crohns disease [inflammation
of the intestinal tract], liver cirrhosis,
osteoarthritis, and atherosclerosis. THC
activates both receptors, so it wont alleviate
inflammation without also making people
high. But (E)-BCP affects only the CB2
receptor, according to the new study, which
appears in todays issue of the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences. As part
of their research, the scientists engineered a
strain of mice that lacked the CB2 receptor.
The team then fed the modified mice and
normal mice a diet rich in (E)-BCP. When
the scientists induced inflammation with
chemicals, normal mice experienced an
anti-inflammatory effect while the genetically
engineered mice did not. This experiment
Stephen Safe, director of the Texas A&M

Universitys Center for Environmental and
Genetic Medicine, said he is impressed by
the teams results both in mouse cells and in
live mice. They did a good study, said Safe,
who was not involved in the research.
He also noted that a lot of other studies have
been finding that fat-soluble chemicals from
plants activate many receptors in the body.
A lot of these [come from plants that] have
been used in traditional medicine, he said.
This is another example of thatbut a bit of
a sexy one. In this case, he noted, Gertschs
team has identified some petty good
activators of the CB2 receptor. Can they be
further developed and modified into better
anti-inflammatory drugs? he asked. Maybe.

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more
joints, which results in pain, swelling, and
limited movement.
Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis
characterized by a gradual loss of cartilage
from the joints. Although osteoarthritis can
affect almost any joint, it most often affects
the hands, knees, hips, and spine. Common
symptoms include pain, stiffness, some loss
of joint motion, and changes in the shape of
affected joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic
autoimmune disease, mainly characterized
by inflammation of the lining, or synovium,
of the joints. It can lead to long-term joint
damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of
function and disability

even the taste (which can vary from
plant to plant just like the scent),
are the plants terpenes. Terpenes
are a group of organic compounds
found in many plants and even
some insects. Terpenes become
Terpenoids when altered through a
process of drying, curing, or chemical
extraction. Terpenes like Limonene
can be steam distilled from the skin
of citrus fruits. Each plants unique
terpene content affects not only the
aroma and flavor, but the medicinal
qualities as well.
Linalool: (also found in lavender)

relieves anxiety and stress, is a
strong anticonvulsant and is said
to amplify serotonin receptor
transmission as well as having
antidepressant
effects;
also
reportedly effective topically to heal
tissue with reduced scarring.
Limonene: (also found in citrus,
juniper,
peppermint,
oranges,
tangerines) with an aroma of
oranges and citrus, this terpene can
aid with anxiety, depression, gastric
reflux, and heartburn issues. Even
more surprising Limonene may
even possess anti tumor properties

The ability to map the specifics of the

is still in the beginning stages, some
labs only offering limited terpene

for this compound yet at all. Certain
strains have been identified and
mapped for terpene content which
can be found online, but the problem
comes in knowing if the plant you
have is not only the same strain,
but has the same terpene content
as the one tested. Terpene content
is as much determined by sun, time

as by the strain type of the seed

alone is not enough to get the full
benefits of this amazingly diverse

combine to lend a full spectrum of
results for each patient, making a
compelling argument for utilizing the
medicine in whole plant form, rather
than those extracts sold as THC or

are getting so much attention, it

are when treating with cannabis as
medicine.

solventless way to reintroduce

CONTRIBUTOR
Considering treating your migraine or
headache disorder with medical cannabis?
Its a complicated topic with a variety of
perspectives, so Ive tried to distill some of the
most important information below. I hope its
a helpful guide.
Marijuanas Efficacy for Migraine or
Headache Disorders
Because laws make research of medical
marijuana very difficult, there have been
no blinded studies on its use for migraine
or headache disorders. Anything you learn
about it for migraine or headache is based
on anecdote (or extrapolated from a small
amount of research on rats). Ive asked
multiple headache specialists for opinions
and have been told repeatedly that patients
are pretty much evenly split between those
who get relief and those who feel worse after
using it. My discussions with patients are
along those same lines. Its strongest track
record is with treating nausea, which can be
as debilitating as the pain for some of us.
Efficacy of Different Strains
Certified Child
Resistant
Packaging
Budtainers
TM
The Right Packaging Choice

for Edibles & Flowers
There are hundreds (may be even thousands)

of different cannabis strains, all cultivated to
have different effects and address different
symptoms. If the marijuana that your brothers
friends cousin got for you didnt help (or made
you feel worse), a different strain may still be
effective. You can look up many of the strains
on the internet by condition or symptom that
they treat, including migraine, nausea, anxiety
and insomnia. Leafly.com displays the most
commonly reported adverse effects of each
strain. Not all of these strains will be available
at your local dispensary, but dispensary
employees can give you recommendations
for which might be most useful for you.
CANNABIS & MIGRAINES

Rebound Headache Risk
A couple headache specialists have told me
that they dont know for sure, but believe
that marijuana has a similar risk for rebound
(medication overuse) headaches as opioids
do. Its best to follow the same rules for opioids
(no more than 10 a month) and use as little
as possible each time.
How Much to Use
There are no set guidelines for how much to
use, though starting with a very small amount
is probably wise. Watch your symptoms
carefully to see if you feel better, worse or
about the same, then decide if you want to try
more. If you smoke (or eat) too much, theres
a chance youre not actually treating the
migraine or headache, but getting so stoned
that you dont notice it very much. That may
be what youre going for, but remember that
the more you use could increase your risk of
rebound headaches.
Smoking/Vaporizing vs. Eating
The two main ways to use medical cannabis
are to smoke it or to eat it. The differences
are akin to those of oral triptans vs. injected
triptans.
Smoking gets the cannabis into your system
the fastest and you can quickly see if you need
more. Smoking anything can be harmful,
although a recent large-scale study found
cannabis to cause less lung damage than
tobacco. (Using a vaporizer has similar
advantages to smoking, but is thought to
be less potentially damaging to the lungs.
Vaporizers are expensive, so you may not
want to invest in one until you discover if
marijuana is even helpful for you.)
If you eat marijuana, it will take longer to
take effect and your digestive tract may not
process a second dose in time for it to be
effective. Gastric stasis (delayed emptying of

the stomach, which is a migraine symptom)
could also mean that you dont absorb as
much as you need when you need it. And, of
course, if you vomit during your migraines, you
may not absorb much at all.
A friend who was using Marinol (prescription
THC capsules) for chemo-induced nausea
told me its effects were highly variable.
Sometimes it did nothing, other times it helped
tremendously. It depended on how how long
it had been since shed last eaten and how
effectively her digestive tract processed the
drug that day.
Depression and Cannabis
Although depression is one of the many
conditions that cannabis is purported to treat,
some research indicates that people who use
marijuana are more likely to be depressed
than those who dont. However, this could
be coincidence rather than causation. As
the Mayo Clinic says, Marijuana use and
depression accompany each other more
often than you might expect by chance, but
theres no clear evidence that marijuana
directly causes depression.
Legality
Different states have different laws and
restrictions governing the use of medical
cannabis. Even if it is legal in your state, the
regulations may make it undesirable. (In
Arizona, for example, employers can check a
database of all registered medical marijuana
users if youre not OK with your employer
knowing that, you probably dont want to get
registered.) In your research, check both
official statutes and news articles. The official
statutes provide the legal framework, while
the news stories tell you how the law is being
implemented. Whatever the laws, its better
to investigate exactly what issues you might
encounter rather than stumbling into a mess.

In every cell there is a family of

interconvertible
sphingolipids
that
specifically manage the life and death
of that cell. This profile of factors is
called the Sphingolipid Rheostat.
If endogenous ceramide(a signaling
metabolite of sphingosine-1-phosphate)
is high, then cell death (apoptosis) is
imminent. If ceramide is low, the cell is
strong in its vitality.
The cancer cell dies, not because of

cytotoxic chemicals, but because of
a tiny little shift in the mitochondria.
Within most cells there is a cell nucleus,
numerous mitochondria (hundreds to
thousands), and various other organelles
in the cytoplasm. The purpose of the
mitochondria is to produce energy
(ATP) for cell use. As ceramide starts to
accumulate, turning up the Sphingolipid
Rheostat, it increases the mitochondrial
membrane pore permeability to
cytochrome c, a critical protein in energy
synthesis. Cytochrome c is pushed out
of the mitochondria, killing the source of
energy for the cell.
Ceramide also causes genotoxic stress
in the cancer cell nucleus generating
a protein called p53, whose job it is
to disrupt calcium metabolism in the
mitochondria. If this werent enough,
ceramide disrupts the cellular lysosome,
the cells digestive system that provides
nutrients for all cell functions. Ceramide,
and other sphingolipids, actively inhibit
pro-survival pathways in the cell leaving
no possibility at all of cancer cell survival.
The key to this process is the
accumulation of ceramide in the system.
This means taking therapeutic amounts
of CBD and THC, steadily, over a period
of time, keeping metabolic pressure on
this cancer cell death pathway.
How did this pathway come to be? Why
is it that the body can take a simple
plant enzyme and use it for profound
healing in many different physiological
72
systems? This endocannabinoid system

exists in all animal life, just waiting for its
matched exocannabinoid activator. This
is interesting. Our own endocannabinoid
system covers all cells and nerves; it is
the messenger of information flowing
between our immune system and the
central nervous system (CNS). It is
responsible for neuroprotection, and
micro-manages the immune system.
This is the primary control system that
maintains homeostasis; our well being.
Just out of curiosity, how does the
work get done at the cellular level,
and where does the body make the
endocannabinoids? Here we see that
endocannabinoids have their origin in
nerve cells right at the synapse. When
the body is compromised through
illness or injury it calls insistently to the
endocannabinoid system and directs
the immune system to bring healing.
If these homeostatic systems are
weakened, it should be no surprise that
exocannabinoids are therapeutic. It
helps the body in the most natural way
possible.
To see how this works we visualize the
cannabinoid as a three dimensional
molecule, where one part of the
molecule is configured to fit the nerve or
immune cell receptor site just like a key
in a lock. There are at least two types of
cannabinoid receptor sites, CB1 (CNS)
and CB2 (immune). In general CB1
activates the CNS messaging system,
and CB2 activates the immune system,
but its much more complex than this.
Both THC and anandamide activate
both receptor sites. Other cannabinoids
activate one or the other receptor
sites. Among the strains of Cannabis, C.
sativa tends toward the CB1 receptor,
and C. indica tends toward CB2. So
sativa is more neuroactive, and indica
is more immunoactive. Another factor
here is that sativa is dominated by THC
cannabinoids, and indica is predominately
CBD (cannabidiol).
It is known that THC and CBD are
biomimetic to anandamide, that is, the
body can use both interchangeably.
Thus, when stress, injury, or illness
demand more from endogenous
anandamide than can be produced by
the body, its mimetic exocannabinoids
are activated. If the stress is transitory,
then the treatment can be transitory.
If the demand is sustained, such as in
cancer, then treatment needs to provide
sustained pressure of the modulating
agent on the homeostatic systems.
Typically CBD gravitates to the densely
packed CB2 receptors in the spleen,
home to the bodys immune system. From
there, immune cells seek out and destroy

cancer cells. Interestingly, it has been
shown that THC and CBD cannabinoids
have the ability to kill cancer cells
directly without going through immune
intermediaries. THC and CBD hijack
the lipoxygenase pathway to directly
inhibit tumor growth. As a side note, it
has been discovered that CBD inhibits
anandamide reuptake. Here we see
that cannabidiol helps the body preserve
its own natural endocannabinoid by
inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down
anandamide.

lightly on a few essential concepts.
Mostly I would like to leave you with an
appreciation that nature has designed
the perfect medicine that fits exactly with
our own immune system of receptors
and signaling metabolites to provide
rapid and complete immune response
for systemic integrity and metabolic
homeostasis.

Very simply, when THC connects to the

CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor site
on the cancer cell, it causes an increase
in ceramide synthesis which drives
cell death. A normal healthy cell does
not produce ceramide in the presence
of THC, thus is not affected by the
cannabinoid.

Recently in Las Vegas, Nevada at the
informative Marijuana Daily Business
Show, the new film The Scientist,
directed by Zack Klein and produced
by Klein and Klinik Productions was
premiered. The dynamic documentary
shares the story of Doctor Raphael
Mechoulam and his decades of
research on cannabis and its healing
properties. I was fortunate to view the
film and then meet and spend time with
the director, Zack Klein and his journey
on creating this fascinating and inspiring
film. The Scientist brings to the
forefront the first factual knowledge of
scientific aspects of endocannabinoids,
cannabis and medical science.
