The Power is Within Us: Patient’s Perspective on the Endocannabinoid System and CBD
How exactly do cannabinoids exert their effect on the human body? The endocannabinoid system was first discovered by Dr. Mechoulam and his cohort in 1992.

From its earliest days, the medical cannabis movement has placed a great emphasis on patient education, perhaps due to its roots in counterculture and disrupting the pharmaceutical status-quo.
