In our body we have the Endocannabinoid system that is linked to the control and balance of a variety of processes such as neuro-conduction, the activity of the immune system, the sense of pain, mood swings, memory and more. The active ingredients in the Cannabis plant effect this system and its activity can be harnessed to treat a variety of medical conditions. According to the medical literature existing on the subject today, Cannabis can constitute a supportive treatment, leading to the improvement of many symptoms such as pain, insomnia, loss of appetite, anxiety and many more, however, at this stage, there is insufficient research evidence as to the ability of Cannabis to cure disease, and it is not officially recognized as medicine in Israel.
