Nobody realized how complicated pot is.

Same active ingredient. This exposes the scam of "medical marijuana". It is a pretext to legalize pot. If you want to legalize pot fine. Fight for that.

I just won't accept the lie that is medical marijuana. People just use it as an excuse to get high

cite the law that Sessions has to prosecute Medical Marijuana laws.

Straw man yurt. Marijuana is against the law at the federal level. Feds trump states. States can be more restrictive but not less. That is always how it has worked

Hide your bong Cheech

Okay, thanks.

Why do you not drink? And why do you not rail against the legality of drinking?

I don't get any enjoyment out if it. Used to a long, long time ago. But I see no point in it.

I am not railing against anything. To be honest I don't rate legal marijuana high on my list of priorities.

Sessions is obeying the law. It is his prerogative. Period

You are the ones losing your minds over it worrying that you won't be able to get high.

I am merely calling out the scam that is "medical marijuana".
 
There's no such thing as a small-government conservative anymore. They are simply Trump conservatives, who are all about big government and big spending.

I have no idea what you are calling an "active ingredient".do you understand the endo-cannibinol system?

Cannabinoid Receptors
Cannabinoids exert their effects by interacting with cannabinoid receptors present on the surface of cells in different parts of the central nervous system.
http://www.news-medical.net/health/Cannabinoid-Receptors.aspx

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) refers to a collection of cell receptors and corresponding molecules. You can think of cell receptors like little locks on the surface of your cells. The keys to these locks are chemical molecules called agonists. Each time an agonist binds to a cell it relays a message, giving your cell specific direction.

The endocannabinoid system is the name for a series of cell receptors that respond to certain kinds of agonists. Two primary cell receptors make up the ECS, Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CB1) and Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2). The keys for these receptors are called endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids are like the body’s natural

Endocannabinoids are like the body’s natural THC. In fact, endocannabinoids got their name from cannabis. Plant cannabinoids were discovered first. Endo means within, and cannabinoid referring to a compound that fits into cannabinoid receptors.

There are two main endocannabinoid molecules, named anandamide and 2-Ag. Funny thing, scientists wouldn’t have discovered anandamide without THC. Psychoactive (THC) was first discovered by Israeli scientist Raphael Mechoulam back in the 1960s. His finding quickly spurred a rush to figure out how THC worked, and whether or not our own bodies produced a similar compound.

More than two decades after the search began, anandamide was found. Yet, once they isolated the chemical, they faced another challenge. What should it be called? They turned to Sanskrit. Anandamide comes from the Sanskrit word Ananda, which means bliss. So, basically, anandamide means bliss molecule.
What does the ECS do?

Cannabinoid receptors are found all throughout the body, giving them a wide variety of functions. However, certain receptors are more concentrated in specific regions. CB1 receptors are abundant in the central nervous system. CB2 receptors are more often found on immune cells, in the gastrointestinal tract, and in the peripheral nervous system.

The diversity of receptor locations shows just how important endocannabinoids are for day-to-day bodily function. They help regulate the following:

Sleep
Appetite, digestion, hunger
Mood
Motor control
Immune function
Reproduction and fertility
Pleasure and reward
Pain
Memory
Temperature regulation

Endocannabinoids are the chemical messengers that tell your body to get these processes moving and when to stop. They help maintain optimal balance in the body, also known as homeostasis. When the ECS is disrupted, any one of these things can fall out of balance. Dysregulation in the ECS is thought to contribute to a wide variety of conditions, including fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome.

The ECS theory of disease is termed “Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency“. The idea is simple: when the body does not produce enough endocannabinoids or cannot regulate them properly, you are more susceptible to illnesses that affect one or several of the functions listed above.
Where do endocannabinoids come from?

If your body cannot produce enough endocannabinoids, you might be in for some trouble. But, where do endocannabinoids come from, anyway? This question has another simple answer: diet.

Your body creates endocannabinoids with the help of fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are especially important for this. Recent research in animal models has found a connection between diets low in omega-3s and mood changes caused by poor endocannabinoid regulation.

Fortunately, hemp seeds are a quality source of omgea-3s. However, fish like salmon and sardines produce a form of omega-3s that is easier for your body to put to use.
Beyond cell receptors

Cannabinoid receptors are often what we associate with the endocannabinoid system. But, the ECS is more complicated than that. Enzymes also have a crucial role to play in the process. In a way, enzymes are kind of like Pacman. They gobble up various compounds, change them, and then spit out the parts. In the ECS, enzymes break down leftover endocannabinoids. Enter non-psychoactive CBD.

Enter non-psychoactive CBD. While THC binds with cannabinoid receptors directly, CBD does not. Instead, it works it’s magic on an enzyme. The enzyme in question is called FAAH, and it is responsible for pulling excess anandamide out of circulation.

CBD puts a stop to this. Psychoactive THC works by mimicking the body’s own endocannabinoids. But, CBD increases the amount of endocannabinoids in your system.

CBD stops enzyme FAAH from breaking down all of the anandamide, and therefore makes more of it available for use by your cells. This is why CBD is a natural mood-lifter without psychoactive effects.

This is just a brief overview of the endocannabinoid system. Each year, new studies shed light into what this amazing network does inside our bodies. The discovery of the ECS is what makes medical cannabis such a big deal.

People often joke about the herb’s ability to heal a wide variety of seemingly unrelated conditions. But, we now understand that these conditions are all regulated in part by the ECS. The medical implications of this finding are endless.

Everything you posted has nothing to do with the active ingredient.

In just about every medicine, plant etc that people there is an active ingredient and excipients or fillers that really don't do much. The active ingredient in Marinol and marijuana is THC or tetrahydrocannabinol. That is the drug. If someone says marinol doesn't work for them but smoking dope does they are full of shit. Any symptom that someone says marijuana can treat should be treated with marinol

The other proof that "medical marijuana" is a scam is that there is no way that marijuana can be smoked to maintain levels high enough for consistent treatment.

IT IS A SCAM TO LEGALIZE POT

PERIOD

I'm trying to imagine how the human body ended up with endo C receptors lol.

Or whether these receptor molecules just happen to be able to receive their cannaboid counterpart molecules by chance---or whether we evolved the receptors.

It's making my brain hurt.

Like any receptor they were just there. Opioid receptors, muscarinic receptors, Beta receptors, Alpha receptors, dopamine receptors etc.

from what i understand the endocannabinoids are manufactured by the body.
But the compounds in weed also fit the receptors. Aren't opiate receptors much the same?

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071014163647.htm
Opioids exert their pharmacological actions through three opioid receptors, mu, delta and kappa whose genes have been cloned (Oprm, Oprd1 and Oprk1, respectively). ... Opioid receptors in the brain are activated by a family of endogenous peptides like enkephalins, dynorphins and endorphin, which are released by neuron Opioid receptors can also be activated exogenously by alkaloid opiates, the prototype of which is morphine, which remains the most valuable painkiller in contemporary medicine.
