CB1 and CB2 are the two main receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) inside our bodies.

Last week we talked about what the ECS is and what it effects.

This week, we're looking into the two main receptors in the body's endocannabinoid system. Endocannabinoids bind to these receptors to tell the body it needs to take action. 🏃➡️

Both receptors often work toward the same goal – homeostasis, or balance, just from different angles. For example, both play a role in managing pain and inflammation, even though they do it in different parts of the body. While they both work to keep the body in balance, their locations mean they focus on different jobs. CB1 mostly handles the brain and nerve signalling, and CB2 looks after the immune system.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a frequent topic discussed in the medical cannabis space.

We all have one. It's a complex network that helps to regulate crucial bodily functions, including appetite, mood, sleep, memory, fertility, pain, and immune response.

While experts are still mapping out exactly how it works, we know it relies on three core components: endocannabinoids (cannabinoids made by your body), receptors (which they bind to), and enzymes (which break them down).

Over the next few weeks, we'll be exploring what each of these are.

Is your v**e actually safe? 🔍

When it comes to medical cannabis, the device you use is just as important as the medicine itself.

The "V**e Lung" (EVALI) scare was driven by illicit-market products, but the stigma still affects medical patients today.

We’re clearing the air on the difference between dangerous unregulated v**es and MHRA-compliant medical vaporisers.
