There are actually many proven benefits of medical marijuana when it’s used the right way. In fact, cannabis may be one of the oldest documented herbal medicines on earth. And the body has a remarkable built-in system of endocannabinoid receptors that pair with it to reduce pain, improve sleep, increase mood, reduce nausea, and much more.
In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Misha Kogan, Dr. Josh Axe, and Jamie Wheal about the many benefits of cannabis, and we take a look at how the body’s built-in endocannabinoid healing system works in tandem with this plant medicine.
