Description
Do you have questions about the Cannabinoids found in medical cannabis can benefit your health?
Please join us at FARM’s Cannabis Education Centre and speaker Andrew Gill who will be discussing cannabinoids and their therapeutic benefits. We will be covering the cannabinoids: THCA, THC, CBN, CBD, THCV, CBG, CBC, and the Entourage Effect.
Among the many cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant, the most well-known called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is associated with the “high” or “stone”. It acts much like a neurotransmitter and has been the most recognized and studied. This specific cannabinoid is responsible for the psychoactive effects experienced when consuming cannabis but the benefits are far greater than the associated “high” or “stone” most people are familiar with.
Recently attention has shifted to another compound in the plant called CBD (cannabidiol), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid with tremendous medicinal value. This compound does not interfere with psychomotor and psychological functioning so you can go to work and participate in all the activities you love.
Studies have found cannabinoids may possess the following medicinal properties:
-Analgesic
-Anti-inflammatory
-Antiemetic
-Appetite stimulant
-Anxiolytic/Antidepressant
-Neuroprotective
-Antioxidant
-Sleep aid
-Anticancer/Antitumor
-Antidiabetic
-Antimicrobrial
-Anticonvulsant
-Neuroprotective
