Health effects of Cannabinoids

[۩]

I have been on a quest lately to further understand the components that make up specific strains that I have found to be medicinal. Others and myself should use this thread for hoarding such data.

For example: GDP is potent and has a high degree of THC, CBD, CBN, CBT and CBC.

very interesting, thanks for posting

in a biopsych unit i'm doing we're looking at the effect of cannabinoids on hippocampal neurogenisis Cannabinoids promote embryonic and adult hippocampus neurogenesis and produce anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects

Neat chart House. Here's a testimonial:

Currently CBD is allowing me to NOT dose any Vicodin for pain. I'm not smoking much currently. Before my little problem reared its head I was smoking a lot daily. Now I'm doing oral tinctures and tears with high CBD content.

Also, there is a second drug that CBD has allowed me to nearly eliminate (LOL) thus far and that is huge frakking doses of Bentyl (with doc suggesting I work up to doubling this dose which would be 16 pills a day - addictive too). Bentyl reduces intestinal motility. Awesome that the chart has an entry for that. My personal suspicion that CBD works even better than Bentyl.

Also, if I must stop suddenly, I'd much rather suck up cannabis withdrawl symptoms than the beginning of the list for Bentyl: dizziness, sweating & vomiting. Last time I withdrew from cannabinoids I had trouble sleeping, I didn't eat much, I withdrew socially and read about 2x as much as I normally do. Frankly that doesn't sound too bad compared to opening with physical withdrawls. I've done the formal physical withdrawl thing. Effective yet ugly.
