Cannabis and Anandamide

In this week’s episode, Ryan explores the fascinating world of anandamide, often called the “bliss molecule,” and its role in the endocannabinoid system (ECS). He discusses how anandamide helps maintain harmony within the body, influencing functions like mood, stress response, and even the euphoric “runner’s high.” Ryan dives into the discovery of the ECS and how cannabinoids such as CBD enhance anandamide by inhibiting its breakdown, making cannabis a powerful tool for stress relief, immune support, and pain management. This episode offers a science-packed look at how understanding anandamide can enhance one’s relationship with cannabis and personal wellness.
