What a shame for the participants. I hope that marijuana gets rescheduled so that it can be tested more thoroughly in the US. I get tired of trying to discuss it as an issue rationally with people only to have it devolve into some straw man festival.

Anyway, carry on.

This has nothing to do with marijuana! We produce cannabinoids as neurotransmitter s in our brains, which are broken down by enzymes. The mystery drug was to inhibit this process.

Don't I feel silly.

I would like to thank David for the link, more for the information than anything, though if that Ottawa mindfulness trial were not ending I would be considering making that drive depending on how often.

It is nice to see both what has been done, thought about and in the pipeline.

My pleasure, of course. I thought we could carefully keep an eye on things and see what we can find. I didn't notice that study. Do you have a Zen temple close by? If so, you can just do some meditation there. I'm just beginning and the expert friend I have is helping me a long. So many of us have stress as a trigger, and when mine came on or broke on last year, I was at the height of my stress. How terrible! I should have started this before.

What happened in that study is still unknown. Here are two links:

It seems to be the case that the patients who suffered either had preexisting conditions or were given very high doses - they received the highest doses. So little seems to be known at this time. How cannabinoids work on the brain is a very complex process, and there are so many cannabinoids that we don't even understand and have not at all studied, pretty much anything other than THC and CBD. More funding and research is needed, since the therapeutic value is great. I'm quite curious what happened here, whether it was dosage, negligence and or something else.
