Speaker: Kevin Spelman. Continued fromPart 1. Many healthcare providers are, unfortunately, unaware of the effects of both the endogenous cannabinoids and phytocannabinoids on human physiology. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) influences multiple organs, tissues and cells, as well as pathways including immune function, metabolism and neurological tone. In this Cannabis intensive we cover the physiology of the ECS, which provides a framework for understanding the actions of Cannabis. A detailed focus on THC, CBD and Cannabis extracts will look at their influence in many conditions such as mood disorders, seizures, cancers and the neuroprotective activity of both THC and CBD. We also dissect the chemistry of Cannabis, discuss different extraction methods, and the evidence base for safety for medical Cannabis. Catalog Number 19ME24
