There are natural endogenous cannabinoids produced by the body that act on specific receptors located in every major organ in the body, but these are lacking in the base of the brain where our autonomous systems are controlled. This could explain why there is little to no evidence of lethal toxicity. The phyto-cannabinoids, plant based, act on these same receptors. The two major cannabinoids are THC and CBD, along with hundreds of other minor cannabinoids and terpenes. Recent research has found that there has been a drastic reduction in opiate use and overdose deaths in states where cannabis is readily available through dispensaries. One other thing, cannabis is way safer for human consumption than alcohol.
For a more informed history of cannabis in the US, please read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. Hemp (cannabis) was grown throughout this country since America was founded, and was instrumental in supplying canvas and rope even up through WWII. At one point, you could even pay your taxes with Hemp. Before we started using cotton, hemp was widely used to make paper, rope, sails, clothes, lamp oils, foodstuffs and many other staple goods that were used by our ancestors.
The marijuana used for "approved" research within the US comes exclusively from a NIDA approved facility in Mississippi (not from seized marijuana). It is not the same quality of what most people consume, being very low in cannabinoids and terpenes (unlike the stuff sold over the counter in legal states). For research, you have to look overseas in Israel and Spain, although there is still a lot of restrictions on usage in humans. There are ongoing clinical trials using phytocannabinoids (*not the synthetic stuff, like Marinol) in patients with GBM and kids with intractable seizures. In Israel, they recognize two important things… Synergy between cannabinoids and terpenes, and varying levels of cannabinoids have differing effects. They have a stock of over 200 strains, as different strains have different effects.
It is a shame that the many patients who are getting relief from cannabis know far more about cannabis than most medical professionals. I am one of those who are "claiming" medical benefits, because I am experiencing them first hand, and have ditched my pharmaceuticals. Please promote further research. And for those with chronic conditions, such as myself, don't be afraid to go to Colorado and speak with a medical professional there about obtaining, clean tested products with known cannabinoid profiles and ratios. You may have to experiment to find the one that works best for you, as there are many varying ratios to chose from. You will initially have to build a tolerance, but that levels off within a few days to a week. Start slow, especially if you are eating it, and give it time to work. The most beneficial effect of inhaling cannabis through smoke or vapor, is that the effects only take a few minutes to occur, so you can judge how "high" you get, especially if you are using products high in THC. CBD seems to work like a neuro-regulator and can greatly diminish the anxiety that can be associated with high THC strains. There is somewhat of a Yin/Yang effect there that provides a more balanced experience. For major conditions such as cancer, the effective dosage required can be quite high (according to lab research in Israel). Far more than you would normally consume by smoking or vaping cannabis though. Sublingual applications act fairly quickly as well, if you are totally against vaping or smoking the product (the effects are noticeable within 10-20 min, unlike with edibles which can take up to an hour or more to fully "kick in"). There is no toxic dose (within acceptable methods of ingestion), so if you do happen to "overdose", simply lie down in a quiet location and sleep it off. Unlike with alcohol, you won't wake up feeling like you've been poisoned (no hangover with cannabis 🙂 )
