From acronyms like CBPM to scientific terms like remediation, navigating the terminology can feel a bit overwhelming when you're first starting out as a medical cannabis patient.

We believe that understanding your medicine is the first step toward taking control of your health. That’s why we’ve stripped away the jargon to bring you a glossary of terms.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) keeps your neural pathways from burning out, playing a massive role in how you handle stress, mood, memory, and pain, helping your brain to keep its cool 🧠

While most neurotransmitters typically travel one-way, from sending neuron to receiving neuron, endocannabinoids do something special called 'retrograde signaling' – meaning they travel backwards.

When a receiving neuron gets too overwhelmed or overstimulated, it makes endocannabinoids on demand and sends them backward across the gap. They bind to CB1 receptors on the sending neuron, effectively telling it to "slow down" or "turn down the volume" on its chemical signals.

Check out our previous two posts on CB1 and CB2 receptors and what the ECS is.

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.
