Behind the Definitions
In this video Dr Jokubas Ziburkus talks about cannabis (de)constructed, which details what cannabis is made of and how these properties can be made into different products to treat different parts of the human body and the medical conditions that affect them.
This video is highly educational and an ideal introduction to the science behind medical cannabis. He explains and gives context to a wide range of terms that we regularly see used in scientific papers and articles regarding cannabis, but often don’t understand. These include but aren’t limited to:
- The endocannabinoid system
- CB1 receptors
- Phytocompounds
- Terpenes
- The entourage effect
- Contra-Indications
For anyone looking to educate themselves on medical cannabis and CBD this video is a great start with a lot of detail on the terminology used. You’ll find a balanced presentation by an absolute expert in the field with well thought-out arguments both for and against medical cannabis.
As the number of states where medical cannabis has been legalized grows, levels of curiosity among the general population are also on the rise. This is why today it is more important than ever that factual, unemotional education around medical cannabis is available.
Given the level of sensationalism surrounding medical cannabis these days, this video is certainly rare in its factual and unpersuasive approach, making it a valuable resource to all in the medical cannabis community.
