I begin with a review of the system that many of this plant\u2019s constituents interact with, the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The importance of this system cannot be downplayed, as it is a key regulator in a variety of body processes. Furthermore, various disorders and diseases can arise as a result of its dysfunction. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3684164\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge of the ECS and how different compounds interact at its main cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, provides a foundation for the understanding of how the psychoactive component in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), exerts its effects. This differs from CBD and is significant for comprehending this constituent\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I also provide a clarification on CBD oil and how it differs from cannabis essential oil, which is loaded with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5822802\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beneficial terpenes<\/a>. This introduces the concept of the \u201centourage effect,\u201d which refers to the fact that the compounds in cannabis may be of more benefit when kept intact in a full spectrum product. It is similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ndnr.com\/pediatrics\/in-defense-of-essential-oils-synergy-natures-wisdom-misleading-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">synergism<\/a> previously discussed with essential oils.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/the-endocannabinoid-system-and-the-many-actions-of-cannabinoids-cbd-and-cannabis-essential-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> now to read <em>Part V: CBD Oil\u2026 Hype, Harm, or Heck Yeah!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to comment below or on my homepage!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>This material is for information purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prescribe for any illness.
