This clearly indicates a role for the regulation of stress by the endocannabinoid system (our bodys own system of cannabinoid ligands and the receptors they activate). In fact, we now know that a properly functioning endocannabinoid system is extremely important for dampening the effects of stress.
Consider this: mice that have their cannabinoid CB1 receptors genetically deleted can live just fine. They do not technically need their endocannabinoid system.
