Endocannabinoid System - All cannabis (aka marijuana) use is medicinal. Our own ECS ​ (endocannabinoid system) is already hardwired in us as humans so we are able to leverage the health and wellness benefits the cannabis plant offers . The ECS is why no one in recorded history has ever died as a result of a marijuana (aka cannabis) overdose. Never. Our bodies already know how to process and use the natural medicinal compounds cannabis delivers via known cannabinoids, terpenes, and more.
