endocannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system


Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a set of complex neuro- developmental disorders defined behaviorally by impaired social interaction, delayed and disordered language, repetitive or stereotypic behavior, and a restricted range of interests.   How can medical cannabis help a complex problem like autism?  The key seems to be our Endocannabinoid System - the master regulatory system in our body.   Recent research  implicates the endocannabinoid deficiencies and a dysregulated endcannbinoid system in the diagnosis and potential treatment of autism.  

A Deficiency in Endocannabinoids

​Mitochondrial Dysfunction​
  • new study shows cannabinoids improve efficiency of mitochondria and remove damaged brain cells
Gastro-Intestinal
  • THC May Help To Reduce Damage In Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)​
Neurological
  • ​ultra-low doses of thc may help protect against neurodegenerative diseases
Pain
  • Visualization of the Endocannabinoid Signaling System (the effects of exogenous cannabinoids on pain)
