The Science Behind the Magic

Ever wondered how medical marijuana actually works? Your body has something amazing called the endocannabinoid system (ECS) - think of it as your body's own natural cannabis system! This network of receptors helps regulate:

• Sleep patterns

• Mood levels

• Pain signals

• Immune responses

• And so much more!

Nature's Pharmacy

Medical marijuana contains over 100 different cannabinoids, but two superstars steal the show:

• THC: The compound that can help with pain and nausea

• CBD: The calming compound that doesn't cause a "high"

These natural compounds work together in what scientists call the "entourage effect" - like nature's own symphony!
