The methods have been discovered recently by which cannabis affects the human bodies; in spite of it is being used for both medicinally and recreationally for decades. The specific development in the work has been discovered by the scientists and called it “Endocannabinoid System”. It is a collection of different chemical pathway discovered in mammals as their presence wasn’t found until 1990. This new system was created with specific receptors that are directly affected in your body by those chemicals. Most of the chemicals in cannabis are called “Phytocannabinoids” and these are specific to the already existing “Endocannabinoids”. It has the ability to affect those receptors and it can make their own path in the bloodstream of a body. A most well-known in these chemicals is called THC “Tetrahydrocannabinol”. It has the ability to generate the psychoactive “increase” in the people when they use recreational drug.

The other research has discovered a excess of other Phytocannabinoids that don’t generate any psychoactive condition, but it can present therapeutic possibility. The other chemical is called CBD “Cannabidiol” and it refers to anti-inflammatory and powerful pain-relieving properties. It can be useful in preventing seizures due to the neurologic condition called Dravet’s Syndrome. A paper published in 2008 about the activities of the National Academy of Sciences and they suggested that Cannabidiol acted on a formerly endocannabinoid receptor, GPR55 and this receptor perform an important role for bone mass regulation by holding back the cells growth. Point to be noted that it has been considered an ongoing investigation area sealed up by some legal restrictions on research, but some advanced studies have been performed. These entire studies were specifically performed on laboratory animals instead of humans.
