Cannabis’ Role in Maintaining Emotional Homeostasis

There is a lot of the endocannabinoid system we still do not understand. However, it is safe to say that the ECS is responsible for maintaining balance within our organism. This is not only true for our physical bodies, but it also seems to be true for the mind. In order to keep the mind healthy, the brain needs to be able to “rest, sleep and forget” certain things that hinder natural processes. In many cases, emotional distress arises from dysfunction within these processes. The endocannabinoid system (CB1 receptors located in the brain) help identify dysfunction and helps remediate problematic function of neural pathways and restores them.
