Our bias against THC is ludicrous. It’s time to see it for what it is, and stop the nonsense.

5 things you don’t know about your ECS
The article discusses the lack of awareness and education regarding the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a major physiological system, among the general public and medical professionals. Despite the ECS's crucial role in health and its interaction with cannabis, only 13% of US medical schools include it in their curriculum. The article highlights the existence of over 41,000 studies on the ECS and cannabis, contradicting the government's claim of insufficient evidence for medical cannabis. It also reveals that endocannabinoid receptors are present in mitochondrial cell walls, emphasizing the importance of a functioning ECS. Additionally, the article notes that other plants besides cannabis can support the ECS and suggests that endocannabinoid deficiency may underlie several 'incurable' conditions, pointing to potential treatment options with cannabinoid therapy. The article encourages self-education and advocates for improved medical training and access to cannabis for therapeutic use.
