But most people don't have auto-immune diseases.
Immune system repression .. That works out very well for persons with auto immune diseases.
It is very interesting that the first wave of mothers milk is packed with anandamide, the bliss cannabinoid. If immune suppression damaged the child, then our body systems would not have evolved to deliver cannabinoids to the newborn child. This cannabinoid is presented to every mammal upon birth.
I have no idea if mothers milk is packed with "the bliss cannabinoid" but if it is there's no need to add more.
Those studies have some of those mixed results in them. Mixed drugs, such as alcohol AND cannabis. Obviously the alcohol is a serious problem in fetal development. So it becomes difficult to glean accurate information about marijuana only.
Wait, don't humans have alcohol receptors too? Yes, see below, at least one of the cannabinoid receptors affect alcohol use too. Using the same logic applied to marijuana, alcohol must be good for all of us too. Everyone is meant to be sloshed and high all the time from the womb on.
A new set of experiments in mice confirms that a brain receptor associated with the reinforcing effects of marijuana also helps to stimulate the rewarding and pleasurable effects of alcohol. The research, which was conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory and was published online September 2, 2005 by the journal Behavioural Brain Research, confirms a genetic basis for susceptibility to alcohol abuse and also suggests that drugs designed to block these receptors could be useful in treatment.“These findings build on our understanding of how various receptors in the brain’s reward circuits contribute to alcohol abuse, help us understand the role of genetic susceptibility, and move us farther along the path toward successful treatments,” said Brookhaven’s Panayotis (Peter) Thanos, lead author of this study and many others on “reward” receptors and drinking (see: www.bnl.gov/?thanoslab).Earlier studies in animals and humans have suggested that so-called cannabinoid receptors known as CB1 — which are directly involved in triggering the reinforcing properties of marijuana — might also stimulate reward pathways in response to drinking alcohol.
