Module Description

This module explores the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a regulatory system found in vertebrates. The ECS uses endocannabinoids and receptors to maintain balance in various functions, from stress to digestion. Unlike typical systems, the ECS creates chemicals on-demand to target specific areas. The module explores the ECS's role in the nervous system and the potential of cannabis compounds to influence it for therapeutic purposes.
