The cannabis plant contains more than 100 different chemicals called cannabinoids. Each one has a different effect on the body. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the main chemicals used in medicine. These plant cannabinoids are similar to endocannabinoids, chemicals the body makes that are involved in appetite, memory, movement, and pain. Medical cannabis is used in a number of different conditions, including appetite loss, inflammatory bowel disease, epilepsy, mental health conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Multiple Sclerosis related muscle spasms and chemotherapyinduced nausea and vomiting. This presentation will give basic information on cannabis, the human Endocannabinoid System, current available research data of medical cannabis, forms of therapy and dosing.
