CANNABIS: What’s the big deal? THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM
THE BODY’S COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Coordinates actions and sensory information by transmitting signals to and from different parts of the body
MANAGES THE BODY’S HEALTH Directs the physiological process affecting pain, anxiety, memory, appetite, anti-inflammatory effects, and other immune system responses
MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING THE CANNABIS MEDICINE CABINET
HOW DOES THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM WORK? HOMEOSTASIS - Your Body in Balance Your endocannabinoid system communicates with your nervous system to keep all these things within acceptable parameters. There are two types of cannabinoids: • Endocannabinoid's are produced naturally in our bodies • Phytocannabinoids are produced by the cannabis plant - Are structurally identical to the endocannabinoid made by
the body - Phytocannabinoids mimic endocannabinoids and bind to specific endocannabinoid receptors, to change how the human body sends or receives messages using the central nervous and immune systems
WELL-KNOWN CANNABINOIDS
Cannabidiol (CBD) Non-psychoactive component in cannabis, also found in Hemp Tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC) Psychoactive component in cannabis
HEMP CBD PRODUCTS BROAD-SPECTRUM CBD PRODUCTS are made with a broad range of cannabinoids and other beneficial contents found in hemp plants, but with essential no THC
FULL-SPECTRUM CBD PRODUCTS are made with a full range of cannabinoids and other beneficial components found in hemp plants, including up to 0.3% THC [the federally legal limit].
CBD in Hemp & Cannabis
The Entourage Effect
How Cannabinoids Produce Effects in the Body There are many different cannabinoid receptors, and different cannabinoids interact with specific receptors
A2A: inflammation & coronary circulation VR1: body temperature & pain GRP55: blood pressure 5HT: serotonin receptors (regulating the digestive process, blood flow and breathing) CB1: mediate physical and psychoactive effects CB2: regulate inflammation and immune response throughout the immune and peripheral nervous systems
HOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA WORKS
Endocannabinoids (Brain-derived) Foods: Omega 3’s, Omega 6’s Anandamide [AEA]
Phytocannabinoids
Synthetic Cannabinoids
(Plant-derived)
(Pharmaceutical Labs)
Buds, Tinctures, Extracts THC, CBD, CBN, etc
Patent Synthesized Compound THC Only - Marinol
Endocannabinoid's (Brain receptors) CB1, CB2, etc The endocannabinoid system [ECS] regulates a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain, sleep, pleasure sensation, immune system, mood, and memory.

Fatty Acids Endocannabinoids (brain-derived)
Neurons
Phytocannabinoids (plant-derived)
Long Chain Fatty Acids The body produces and distributes endocannabinoids
THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT The Entourage Effect The synergy of compounds found in cannabis (cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids) which result in the enhanced efficacy of all compounds. For example: • CBD lessons the psychoactive effect of THC • Terpenes enhance cannabis’ medical effects • THC & CBD enhance CBN’s effect

CBD and Pets The endocannabinoid system is not just in humans. This same system is in any animal with a backbone! Including (but not limited to) Fish.
ECS and Pets continued
Homeostasis is achieved when cannabinoid receptors work with phytocannabinoids and our pet’s endogenous (produced in the body) cannabinoids to create a regular level of action. Homeostasis takes time and when achieved has a profound effect on health and well-being.

Dr. Robert Silver
Veterinarian working in natural pet ingredients and practices protocols with CBD and these other functional ingredients to great success. He is sort of the guy in CBD pet formulas! Dr. Silver thinks it’s something of a myth that you need THC for CBD to work effectively. He believes broad- and full-spectrum works better than CBD isolate. This simply means that the full spectrum of cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes are present in the CBD. However, he has dispensed thousands of THC-free CBD products to veterinarians, and he finds that THC-free CBD can work remarkably well on its own. Given that dogs are sensitive to THC, he’d recommend skipping it for now.
