“Marijuana is a complex substance containing over 60 different forms of cannabinoids, the active ingredients. Cannabinoids are now known to have the capacity for neuromodulation, via direct, receptor-based mechanisms at numerous levels within the nervoussystem. These have therapeutic properties that may be applicable to the treatment of neurological disorders; including anti-oxidative, neuroprotective, analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions; immunomodulation, modulation of glial cells and tumor growth regulation. This article reviews the emerging research on the physiological mechanisms of endogenous and exogenous cannabinoids in the context of neurological disease.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12054093 “Cannabinoids in the Treatment of Neurological Disorders” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604187/
