Prior to the outlawing of cannabis in 1937, major pharmaceutical
companies produced a wide variety of cannabis-based medicines, but
cannabis has actually been used as a medicine for thousands of
years. Although it has a long history, the recent discovery (1992)
of the body's widespread endocannabinoid system (ECS) has thrust
cannabis back into the limelight again as a viable medicine. In
2012 over 2.5 million prescriptions were written for medical
marijuana in the United States. CBD and THC are both cannabinoids
found in cannabis. However, while THC produces a "high" in the
user, CBD does not. And now legal CBD-rich hemp oil is available
over-the-counter in all 50 states, without a prescription. It was
discovered that the Hemp Family of plants (cannabis, marijuana) is
loaded with cannabinoids that stimulate our ECS receptor sites.
These sites are found in the brain, organs, glands, connective
tissue and immune cells and plays regulatory roles in many
physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood
and memory. The primary purpose of this system revolves around
maintaining balance in the body. Cannabinoids found in all
varieties of cannabis work in harmony with the cannabinoids we
naturally produce when our system is functioning properly. It is
now coming to light that we may very well be "Endocannabinoid
Deficient" and supplementing with Cannabidiol, known as CBD, may
provide just what we're missing to restore optimum health. The
health benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) from natural hemp oil is this
book's primary focus. It explores the similarities, differences,
uses and benefits of hemp, cannabis and medical marijuana along
with the interplay of THC and CBD. Their 480 other components are
also discussed, such as terpenoids, flavonoids, enzymes, vitamins,
etc. Make no mistake about it, the endocannabinoid system, although
newly discovered, is just as important as any other bodily system,
like the muscular, cardiac, circulatory or digestive system. The
ECS requires its own specialized medicine as found in the Hemp
Family of plants, which is also known as cannabis, and which
includes all strains of marijuana. Here is a list of conditions
known and/or being researched that may be helped by cannabinoid
therapeutics and supplementation: Acne ADD/ADHD Addiction AIDS ALS

Injury Stress Stroke/TBI 10% of the proceeds from sales of this
book will be donated to the American Cannabis Nurses Association in
an effort to bring together nurses, to share, integrate and one day
certify nurses in the science of endocannabinoid therapeutics in
nursing practice.
