Cannabinoid Receptors Video (We are made to ingest cannabis)

Crazy huh...?

time keeps on slippin, slippin. Great vid. its amazing how much we keep discovering about weed. imagine how much we'de know by now if it was never outlawed by bigots.

Craziest thing about it to me is the fact that i had seizures when i was a child, was diagnosed with epilepsy. I started smoking pot when I was 14. At 15 years of age I was told that I do not have epilepsy? After watching this vid, I think that it is due to the pot, NICE!!!

Great vid Growman. I wish I had this vid for when I went through AODA for my owi. The instructor claimed that the cannaboid reciptors in our brains was the reason it is so addictive...I instantly knew he was a dumb a**!! It'd only make sense that if we had receptors then we are made to ingest.

I can relate. I was diagnosed with Pancolitis at age 10....Now i'm 22 (using cannabis for 4 years) and my symptoms haven't been present for 4 years. I think there is a connection between our cannabinoid system and general health. 4 years without a flare up for me is like magic. I was on so many pharmaceutical drugs from age 10-18...and I NEVER achieved remission. Smoked pot regularly from age 18-19 recreationally and discovered that it basically cured my symptoms. 4 years later and i'm still in remission.

but your doctor has a point. its certainly much less addictive than so many other drugs, but an addictive substance nontheless. it would most likely be less addictive if we didnt have those receptors. and it is information we need to be aware of, as to prevent any chance of becoming addicted. there are pot addicts, and more than you think. but its a very manageable addiction, like coffee or chocolate. comparing it to addiction of cocaine and the likes would be just nonsense.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T26dYtXO9l4 found this video. this guy seems to know more. like what the 'cannibanoid receptors' actually are.

Thanks for the link. And I understand it can be addictive. There's hundreds of products that contain addictive compounds. Look at the deffinition of drugs and all it is, is a mind altering substance. Watch out the next time you drink a soda or pop an advil. These are drugs and contain addictive substances.

True that. Caffeine, nicotine and many others are VERY addictive. Still trying to kick the caffeine monkey off my back.

well, the reason for the link is the fact that the first vid had some incorrect info, specifically the fact that he was sayin those receptors we have are specifically for cannibinoids. correct me if im wrong but, if we have a certain receptor in our brain, isnt it because another part of our brain produces that chemical?

Your probably right. I don't study the human body and it would make sense that another part of the body could produce the chemical. Either way we have receptors so it can't be harmful to ingest!

http://www.news-medical.net/health/Cannabinoids-What-are-Cannabinoids.aspx

Cannabinoids are found in the plant as well as in animals thus these receptors are for cannabinoids.
Yes animals create cannabinoids as well.

if the human body creates a chemical to react to a certin receptor and a plant creates a chemical that just so happens to be very similar to the same compound that is being created in the human, so much that it acts the same way when in contact with the same receptors, wouldent that be a good thing to ingest? again yes both chemicals made by the human and the plant are both considered cannabinoids just different classes as mentioned in my previous link. think about it, scientists gave the plant the name cannabis, could that be because the main chemical that interacts with the animal body is a cannabinoid. the name cannabinoid due to the fact it acts the the same as the chemical naturally occuring in animals also called cannabinoids...

dude...im really gettin into this thread. and yea i may have missed the part where he said one in our brains is different than found in the plant. i thought he was sayin the same one in the plant is produced in the brain.
