Ok that's just fuckin' cool.
There need to be more people researching this herb that has SO MANY properties, AND that binds to receptors in the brain whose only function is to process those chemicals.

Drugs are like pillows. They are there to cushion the blows of adversity in life. Something to fall in when you land on your face.

That is a great diagram! I always love looking at this then researching drugs and related drugs from it

we should not be so rash to claim that cannabinoid receptors only bind to tetrahydrocannabinol's precurser cannabidiol

They don't.
Cannabinoid receptors are highly receptive to other cannabinoids as well, such as JWH compounds. Plus, our body makes a plethora of endocannabinoids that bind perfectly to our cannabinoid receptors, such as anandamide. CB1 and CB2 hold a lot of weight, neurologically speaking and in terms with anandamide. Anandamide, itself, regulates our ability to strategically and subconsciously remember and forget things. That is highly important for such neurological animals like us when memory is such a precious commodity; it's not like we need to remember every car we drove by on the freeway.

very interesting I didn't know that.
I suppose that increased activation of the receptors caused by trophic ingestion of cannabis could lead to more efficient functioning of anandamide in the brain, and theoretically explain why I saw such an enormous increase in my GPA when I started smoking weed

Well, theoretically, other cannabinoids could substitute for anandamide as long as they can bind to the receptors. But, other cannabinoids come with their own array of unique effects, so you never really know how your body will react to it. Anandamide, itself, is not triggered by the ingestion of cannabis because it is made within us. Thus, it's flow is regulated by our biological rhythmic clock.
Right now, research on cannabinoids is minimal. So, we don't truly know how ingesting cannabinoids would affect the endocannabinoids within us.

right, the production levels wouldn't increase, but I'm saying that an increase in receptors commonly associated with tolerance could lead to a higher percentage of anandamide activating the receptors due to higher availability.
I'm just guessing tbh, most likely anandamide is produced in such low quantities that receptor saturation is a moot-point

Hm. I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
Anandamide production doesn't really correlate to our cannabinoid receptors.
Anyways, we should all be careful with our cannabinoid receptors. Without CB1, intestinal tumors would run rapid.
God dammit, I love my major.
