• What is the history and role of various components of cannabis, including THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, in medicine, and how does their research into the impact on the endocannabinoid system pave the way for further exploration in the field?
• What is the 'Entourage Effect' and how does the combined effect of different cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis, particularly their anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, neuro-protective, and sedative effects, indicate the vast potential of cannabis in healthcare?
• Why is understanding and measuring endocannabinoid tone, which can impact pain threshold, digestion, mood, and sleep, important and how can genetic testing, symptomology, and tracking be used to assess it? What is the significance of working with a knowledgeable practitioner with medicinal cannabis?
