Mechanism of Action:
Chronic pain–
Cannabinoids produce analgesia by acting on multiple pain targets within the peripheral and CNS by activating specific receptors throughout the body, in particular CB1 which are found predominantly in CNS and CB2 receptors found in cells involved with immune system. Besides acting on cannabinoid CB1/CB2, they may reduce pain through interaction with the putative non-CB1/CB2 cannabinoid G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR55 or GPCR18) and opioid or serotonin (5-HT) receptors (1)
Appetite-
Hunger levels are determined by a substance in human body called ghrelin, which is known as the ‘hunger hormone’. The hormone is released by the stomach, intestines and brain, as it stimulates and manages appetite. Cannabis triggers ghrelin levels and stimulates appetite (2)
IBS, vomiting & Diarrhoea-
Cannabinoids predominately mediate inhibitory pathways in the gastrointestinal tract through reduction of vagal cholinergic tone. CB2 modulate inflammation, whereas CB1 control central functions, including pain control, satiety, nausea, and vomiting. The distribution and concentration of the endocannabinoid system in specific tissues demonstrate the physiology of cannabinoids in the gastrointestinal tract and offer possible drug targets for the management of inflammatory bowel disease.(3)
