Making Sense of the LettersIn last weeks feature article Intro to Strain Types we sought to bring some basic and vital information to the new wave of patients switching over to natural medicine from the pharmaceutical world. The new MMPR program requires patients to purchase medicine from licensed producers who in turn are only allowed to market their products through online presences. This means patients are left with the task of decoding terminology and technical specifications likeTHC and CBD which brings us tothe focus of this weeks article on cannabinoids.
What is a Cannabinoid?One word that everymarijuana patient needs to know iscannabinoid. Cannabinoids like THC and CBDare the chemical compounds producedby cannabis flowers that provide the relief for the various symptoms and conditions that have made medical marijuana so useful. These active ingredients workby imitating compounds our bodies naturally produce, calledendocannabinoids, which activate to maintain internal stability and health. To put itsimply, they mediate communication between cells, and when there is a deficiency or problem with our endocannabinoid system, unpleasant symptoms and physical complications occur.We hope this brief introduction to the cannabinoids THC and CBD sheds some light on the often confusing terminology used in medical marijuana marketing and will help you make a more informed decision when choosing the medicine thats right for you................................
