"Chronic stress is one of the major causes of depression," Haj-Dahmane says. "Using compounds derived from cannabis—marijuana—to restore normal endocannabinoid function could potentially help stabilize moods and ease depression.""Possible use"?
The depression alleviating effects of marijuana were first documented and recommended about 2000 years ago. That is not questionable. Only the mechanism is.
So, let me tell you how it really works..
Chronic stress is caused by endotoxin leaking out of the intestines and activating the pituitary and adrenal glands. But that causes mania, not depression.
Depression is triggered by orexin deficiency. And that cell dysfunction is also triggered by endotoxin.
They're confusing causes and effects.
Either way, cannabinoids help heal intestinal integrity.
