While the focus has been on neutral cannabinoids, new research –and my own clinical observations– indicate that cannabinoids in their original, acidic form possess incredible healing properties that work both together with and different from their neutral counterparts. What are Acidic Cannabinoids?
Following this, there is a growing body of evidence which shows that cannabinoids may also inhibit interleukin-6, which is an inflammatory protein associated with autoimmune diseases. Humans and other mammals produce compounds called endocannabinoids (which are coincidentally similar to active compounds found in cannabis— cannabinoids).
The endocannabinoid system has CB1 and CB2 receptors on every organ in the body, including your stomach, esophagus, and throughout your digestive tract. A 2009 study giving pharmaceutical grade THC (dronabinol) to dogs produced a decrease in acid secretion, inflammation in the stomach lining, and frequency of acid reflux episodes.
The first thing you should know about the endocannabinoid system is that it’s home to a vast network of cells that have cannabinoid receptors on them. They are located in practically every system of the body, including the central nervous, immune, circulatory, digestive, reproductive, respiratory, endocrine, lymphatic and muscular system.
After treating thousands of patients with medical cannabis since 2009 and following their progress and results, I have been amazed by the versatility and effectiveness of cannabis in relieving symptoms and promoting healing. During this time, your body will produce more cannabinoid receptors, ensuring excellent therapeutic results.
While neutral cannabinoids have gotten a lot of attention, new studies show that cannabinoids in their original acidic form have tremendous healing properties that act in tandem with and in contrast to their neutral counterparts. In this article, I share what we know about acidic cannabinoids today and why you should incorporate them.

CBD is a cannabinoid present in cannabis plants with a very similar molecular structure to THC but without any kind of psychoactive effect. It has been demonstrated that CBD has low affinity with the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors , but it does act on other receptors of the human body like GPR55 or 5-HT1A. What is CBD?

Poirier’s family physician did not advise against the use of cannabis but did testify that, in the past, excessive use of the drug had resulted in adverse effects, including hospitalization at a psychiatric facility and problems with digestion. A significant award for Nabilone, the synthetic cannabinoid, was allowed in this case.
Nonetheless, the available collection of scientific work confirms that consuming cannabis-derived cannabinoids (phytocannabinoids) compels our body to produce more (endo)cannabinoid receptors, but also to create more endocannabinoids. These receptors are located on the membranes of many different cells, spread throughot the body.
and medical marijuana in 33 states, interest is growing in cannabis-related health products, especially those made with CBD—a cannabinoid that has healing properties without the mind-altering effects of THC. In 2009, Fast Company called her one of the “Most Powerful Women in Technology.”. Today, she is CEO of Ellementa, Inc.,
Recent medical interest in alternative therapies and modalities for pain relief has led many pet owners to seek hemp related products rich in cannabinoids. Cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous system ( 8 – 10 ) and are also present in the synovium ( 11 ).
As demonstrated by the Pagano Study , cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 can be activated in selective inhibition of myometrial contractibility. In laymen’s terms, it means that premenstrual cramps can be inhibited (lessened or stopped) with the ingestion of cannabinoids. What does that mean? Medical Marijuana for Mood Swings in Women.
Patrick McGovern, who, as noted, is referred to frequently in The Immortality Key has stated: “At Pazyryk, [A Scythian site] the preferred beverage thus appears to have combined a marijuana high with an alcoholic buzz” ( McGovern, 2009 ).
