YSK : Cannabinoid Deficiency is real and taking Marijuana is an effective preventive measure as well as remedy.
There's a mechanism called the Endocannabinoid System inside the human body which is basically a set of cannabinoid receptors and the corresponding cannabinoids that activate them. Our body produces its own endocannabinoids to activate the cannabinoid receptors spread all over our body. This activation process helps to regulate vital bodily functions like appetite, sleep cycles, heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, immune function etc. to maintain what scientists call homeostasis, a state of equilibrium in the body. Everything is fine when our body produces enough endocannabinoids. But when it does not, the equilibrium is disrupted and this can give rise to several health issues. Dr. Ethan Russo, a researcher on cannabinoids first proposed in 2003 that Cannabinoid Deficiency might be the prime culprit behind numerous health conditions that are superficially known to be caused otherwise. "Subsequent research has confirmed that underlying endocannabinoid deficiencies indeed play a role in migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and a growing list of other medical conditions." - Source: NIH.GOV . The amazing thing for us is, Cannabinoid Deficiency and subsequently all the health issues that it causes can be easily prevented as well as treated by taking Ganja, a widely available plant. Like endocannabinoids, the cannabinoids found in Ganja can also activate the cannabinoid receptors in our body and taking Ganja helps to make up for the deficient endocannabinoids, thus ensuring that homeostasis is maintained and the health issues are kept away. As legal barriers fall and scientific bias fades, this will become more apparent.
