![]() ![]() ![]() Marinol on the other hand has no CBD to counter the effect of the THC, not to mention any of the other cannabinoids found in the whole marijuana plant. Although both strains have the same amount of THC, (which is known for producing the high effect), the strain with more CBD will reduce the "high" effect of the THC, by counteracting the THC. So a strain of marijuana that has 10% THC and 1% CBD will produce a different effect than a strain that has 10% THC and 6% CBD. Often patients describe the effect of Marinol as too intense, dizzying, or ineffective.įor instance, in the whole plant, Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, reduces the euphoric or "high" effect of THC. In the whole plant, cannabinoids have been shown to have an effect on each other. Plus the terpenes of the whole plant are missing, and terpenes also influence the cannabinoids. However, since Marinol is produced in a lab as an isolate, Marinol lacks the additional cannabinoids found in the whole marijuana plant. Marinol has been prescribed to cancer patients to help control nausea and vomiting. There is a synthetic pharmaceutical version of THC available with a prescription known as Marinol. THC is the marijuana compound scientifically known as tetrahydrocannabinol. THC is one of the most commonly known cannabinoids in marijuana. One thing that researchers have come to learn is that there is a synergy from the cannabinoids found in the whole plant that work together in what has come to be known as the "entourage effect." Combinations of all the cannabinoids are only found in the whole plant, rather than synthetic options which focus on just one cannabinoid. The strict controls have limited studies and comparisons of various whole plant marijuana strains which offer a wide variety of different marijuana cannabinoid profiles. However, there are many studies showing a wide range of medical benefits from the cannabinoids, which are chemical compounds found in marijuana. In other words, the endocannabinoid system brings balance to the other systems in our body.ĭue to strict controls placed on marijuana, research has been extremely limited on the whole raw plant, in the United States. The endocannabinoid system acts as a modulator for the other systems in our body. ![]() Why is marijuana so effective on such a wide range of medical conditions? Our bodies (in fact all mammals) contain an endocannabinoid system. ![]()
