Many factors can be taken into consideration when dancing with the majestic Sheeba, but simplicity can guide us best.

Mainstreaming of cannabis — making it an acceptable topic of everyday conversation — is key for better access to more people and to driving industry growth from the current US$10BN per year into a $US20+ per annum business. Public figures’ take on what are often private matters opens dialogs in homes and workplaces where they might not happen otherwise.

Developing the Therapeutic Potential of the Endocannabinoid System for Pain Treatment (PA-15-188) – The purpose of this NIH Pain Consortium-endorsed funding opportunity announcement is to support projects examining the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and endocannabinoid system across a variety of pain conditions
The NIH supports a broad portfolio of research on cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system. This research portfolio includes some studies utilizing the whole marijuana plant (Cannabis sativa), but most studies focus on individual cannabinoid compounds. Individual cannabinoid chemicals may be isolated and purified from the marijuana plant or synthesized in the laboratory, or they may be naturally occurring (endogenous) cannabinoids found in the body.
