Does the human body require cannabinoids to be healthy?

Happy Weedsday, everyone! I hope today finds you doing well.

So just about everyone on the planet knows what Cannabis is, right? Many people know that it helps make a person feel better for a variety of reasons and ways. Cannabis helps make depression and anxiety bearable for some and helps others to relax. Cannabis helps with chronic pain and nerve pains, too, for a good portion of the population. This has been experienced and proven time and time again.

But how many of you know why Cannabis helps with all these symptoms and so much more? What is it about your body and Cannabis that can make an epileptic seizure stop in its tracks? How many of you out there have seen the videos of this happening?

If you have not seen these videos, I encourage you to Google using the search words “Cannabis†and “stop seizure†and watch them! It is enough to give hope to mankind when you can see a little child or any other human being suddenly find the relief they have needed in their life from a simple yet complex plant that grows as wild as a weed.

The reason this plant works for people is because of a system in the body called the endocannabinoid system that is present in each and every one of us — no exceptions!

This system was discovered to be a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the mammalian central nervous system (including the brain) and peripheral nervous system.

The endocannabinoid system is involved in regulating a variety of physiological and cognitive processes including fertility, pregnancy, during pre- and postnatal development, appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory and other functions in the body. (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system)

That, to me, is fascinating. We have all these little receptors all over the insides of our bodies that regulate what the other parts of our bodies do, right? So if your body is starved of the Cannabinoids it needs in order to be healthy, it seems to me we would have a total body deficiency that could potentially affect the whole body.

Is the deficiency enough to cause a lot of the current weird diseases we have out there that have no cures or explanations for healing? I feel it’s a possibility! Look at such cases of people out there where their tumors have disappeared altogether? Or Alexis Bortell and some of the other children out there not suffering anymore because of Cannabis in their life?

I am not saying Cannabis is the cure-all, but it sure does better work that most of Big Pharma does! For all these conditions out there that have no cure or treatment, I would love to know if they have been treated by Cannabis and has it been successful!

If you have a Cannabis story you would like published or if you would just like for me to know your story, please reach out. Let’s connect.
