Pregnant women are often advised to use flax seed oil.īut there is another plant whose seeds are an even better source of Omega 3……….hemp! (3) The very thing we need to make our CB receptors work at their best, is in the hemp plant! Cannabis is the source of the cannabinoids that we need to heal ourselves AND the source of the Omega 3 we need for our receptors to do their jobs properly! Fish oil may be contaminated with mercury- so many people prefer to use flax seed oil. The two most popular forms of Omega 3 supplements are fish oils, and flax seed oil.

Now, since the Omega 3-starved CB1 receptors are not working right, does this also mean that people, who have been deficient in Omega 3 for a while, are missing out on the full medical benefits- and the maximum high? Seems reasonable! Not getting enough Omega 3 can make you a bit crazy because without it, the CB1 cannabinoid receptors in your brain can be deformed or broken! Our low Omega 3 diet is making us sick and crazy!" We get WAY too much Omega 6, and not enough Omega 3. "The US diet sucks big time! We are fat, undernourished and crazy because of it.
These findings identify a plausible synaptic substrate for the behavioral alterations caused by the n-3 PUFAs deficiency that is often observed in western diets. Finally, the dietary-induced reduction of CB(1)R functions in mood-controlling structures was associated with impaired emotional behavior. In n-3-deficient mice, presynaptic cannabinoid CB(1) receptors (CB(1)Rs) normally responding to endocannabinoids were uncoupled from their effector G(i/o) proteins. We found that lifelong n-3 PUFAs dietary insufficiency specifically ablates long-term synaptic depression mediated by endocannabinoids in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex and accumbens. Low levels of essential n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) have been linked to neuropsychiatric diseases, but the underlying synaptic alterations are mostly unknown. The corollaries of the obesity epidemic that plagues developed societies are malnutrition and resulting biochemical imbalances. “Nutritional omega-3 deficiency abolishes endocannabinoid-mediated neuronal functions.” On to the abstract and the info! (Where you see "n-3 PUFAs", read Omega 3.) The plant cannabinoids, THC and CBD, happen to fit in our receptor’s “key holes” and can fill in for a deficiency in the production of our own endocannabinoids. The reason cannabis works to heal us, is that our bodies make their own types of cannabinoids, endocannabinoids, that turn on the receptors, setting off the reactions. This action could be almost anything- from telling a cancer cell it’s time to die, to protecting a brain cell from Alzheimer's, to activating the suckling instinct in an infant, to soothing your upset stomach, and even making you feel “just a little bit too good”! (For more info on the cannabinoid receptors and what they do, see (1) for the short FOXNEWS version, or (2) for a real education!) (CB1 is responsible for getting you high - and a 1,000 other things.) The right shaped chemical will fit into the receptor’s “key hole” and this “turns on” some action.
Some of these receptors are cannabinoid receptors. On the surface of your cells, there are chemical receptors that sort of work like an ignition switch in a car.
But there is another far less obvious system -the cannabinoid receptor system.
( click that first link in my sig) I came across something important for the medical community, and maybe even for you stoners, too!Įveryone knows about the circulatory system, and the digestive system- they are pretty obvious to the naked eye. All of you (I hope) know by now that I gather MMJ studies from PubMed and medical journals.
