Review of the neurological benefits of phytocannabinoids Joseph Maroon 1,*, Jeff Bost 1 Author information Article notes Copyright and License information PMCID: PMC5938896 PMID: 29770251 Abstract Background: Numerous physical, psychological, and emotional benefits have been attributed to marijuana since its first reported use in 2,600 BC in a Chinese pharmacopoeia. The phytocannabinoids, cannabidiol (CBD), and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) are the most studied extracts from cannabis sativa subspecies hemp and marijuana. CBD and Δ9-THC interact uniquely with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Through direct and indirect actions, intrinsic endocannabinoids and plant-based phytocannabinoids modulate and influence a variety of physiological systems influenced by the ECS. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5938896/
