Cannabis in Medicine
The medical use of marijuana has been approved in Connecticut and neighboring states. However, there is a lack of understanding in the medical community regarding the biological principles of ingredients of the cannabis plant at a systemic level. Also less well known is how the endogenous cannabinoid system present in humans and animal species may respond to herbal cannabis derivatives.
