    From a Medical Marijuana Educational Guide (full disclosure, it’s connected to a dispensary):

    *Also note: it uses “Medical Marijuana” language because it’s from a state where only medical is legal, not recreational.

    Medical Marijuana works by impacting the Endocannabinoid System we all have in our bodies.

    “Your body already makes Medical Marijuana-like chemicals that affect pain, inflammation, sleep and many other processes. It mimics those naturally occurring compounds in the body, and can produce therapeutic effects.” -Laura Borgelt, PharmD, University of Colorado
