The oil contains essential fatty acids, overall it keeps our cells healthy. It enhances their function to move nutrients throughout the body. Keeps our arteries clean.

Plants release chemicals into the environment which interact with other organisms. Wether they are sending chemicals to our brain, an insect, or micro-organism, its a function that aids the plant's survival in the ecosystem.
To survive a plant must form relationships in the environment. Preditory insects are constantly adapting; to survive plants must adapt with them. There are tiny receptors all over the plant, these are the plant's sensing mechanisms. In marijauna it seems these receptors are thricomes...


Below shows how certain plants can send signals to another organism.

What if marijuana made THC as a way to communicate with mammals, since THC interacts with cannabinoid receptors? Of course, that brings into question all psychedelics, which leads me to the idea that plants, fungi, and stuff of all shapes and sizes is, or was, conscious.

Perhaps it's leftover from our evolution. Plants and animals evolved from single-celled creatures-- perhaps these creatures could communicate chemically.

It's interesting, nonetheless. If plants have receptors, can we talk back, somehow?

I just published my paper online. It took a lot of work converting a print document into web format.

The site should be up and running here in a few minutes.

Have saved pdf, but to do it justice I need to read it when it's not 2am. Pity my friends and the science lessons they are about receive on the basis of your report.....
Scientific and medical understanding is probably the best way to bulldoze the prohibition laws. The endogenous cannabinoid system looks to be shaping up as an important contender. Ace work!

Thanks for the positive input!

Unfortunately when I was reading back through it, the report wasn't as great as I remembered it. The organization is totally flawed. I need to include more. More about medicinal marijuana, more about the endogenous cannabinoid system... The target audience needs to be broader!

I for one have found what you wrote quite interesting. In fact I am trying to learn just what THC does to the human body. I recently had a stroke, my mother died of a stroke so it runs in the family.

I was a cigarette smoker when I had the stroke, I have since quit. I was told that nicotine constricts the blood vessels in the human body which can help cause a stroke. I was also told but long ago that THC does just the opposite, it dilates the blood vessels. I am trying to find out for certain if this is true as I do not want to spread information that is false.

I liked what you gave us a sample of, thank you.

In the hospital I was given a bunch of bad pills, Dilantin was one and I'm sure that it dilates the blood vessels but unfortunately at a great cost. Some of the side effects include constipation, loss of taste and smell and it interferes with natural sleep. In our state the people voted two years in a row to legalize medical marijuana and both times it was duly ignored like it didn't matter, like what so many fought and gave their lives for meant naught.

If you have any specific information please advise,

Rodley

Damn, I was really getting into your paper but the link takes me to a page that "does not exist". Could you possibly provide a different link, I'd like to read it in its entirety.
