[email protected] April 27, 2015 The Human ECS: The Cannabis Inside Us All Presentations on Medicinal and Therapeutic Cannabis
(Columbus, OH): Endogenous Cannabinoid System (ECS), big words indeed. But these words define one of the more important components of the human body and one of the most significant scientific developments of our time. This neuromodulating bodily system regulates such processes as memory, mood, appetite and pain. Not surprisingly, the ECS is highly related to the cannabis, aka marijuana, the plant from which its name is derived. Please join the Ohio Rights Group at the Ohio Medical Cannabis Conference as physicians and healthcare professionals discuss the ECS, cannabis and their implications for human health. This entertaining, informative and timely discussion should be of interest to the public, physicians and undergraduate students alike. What:
