Cannabinoid receptors in the brainstem

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Cannabinoid receptors in the brainstem and cerebellum may relate to the recognized incoordination that accompanies smoked marijuana use. The discovery of intrinsic ligands for these receptors in the mammalian brain is also of great importance. This system of cannabinoid receptors and ligands may be analogous to the discovery of opiate receptors and endorphins, which linked various opium derivatives (heroin and morphine and marijuana seeds) to an intrinsic system of neurons in the CNS. That discovery was of major importance for pain research.

Feminized seeds

The absorption or clearance of other drugs taken with marijuana may be slowed or hastened depending on timing and sequence of drug ingestion and past exposure feminized seeds. For example, ethanol consumed just after smoking a marijuana cigarette produces a much lower peak blood level than the same dose of ethanol taken an hour before marijuana smoking because THC slows gastric emptying time, thus slowing absorption of ethanol.

Some Limitations of Previous Marijuana Research

Some Limitations of Previous Marijuana Research Unfortunately, much of what is known about the human pharmacology of smoked marijuana comes from experiments with plant material containing about 2 percent THC or less, or occasionally up to 4 percent THC. In addition, human experiments typically are done in laboratory settings where only one or two smoked doses were administered to relatively young, medically screened, healthy male volunteers well experienced with the effects of marijuana or female marijuana seeds. Females rarely participated in past marijuana research because of prohibitions (now removed) against their inclusion.
