Understanding the Human Endocannabinoid SystemUpdated 3 years ago

Cannabis is effective in managing pain, reducing inflammation, helping reduce stress, and  assisting with sleep due to our Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS helps to regulate a number of bodily systems. The cannabis plant is made of up photo-cannabinoids—THC and CBD being primary—that bind or interact with our ECS, influencing these bodily functions.
