cannabinoids?

[bigrobbierob]

I saw a documentary yesterday called "Should I Smoke Dope?" and they mentioned cannabinoids (I never heard of them) which are in pot and that the human body actually produces them itself.

As I watched the documentary they mentioned several things that cannabis does to a person (not a user myself, I was unaware alot of it) but several of the issues sound similar to physical/mental problems I have.

So I was wondering if anyone medically, chemistry, or biologically minded knows of any syndromes related to the body's natural cannabinoid production and the body making too much/too little....kind of like if the body has erroneous serotonin or dopamine it can have physical/mental effects.

i would guess that since cannibinoids are released during exercise that people who don't exercise are deficient. unfortunately smoking a joint is like a megadose and 1 hit is probably more like the natural secretion amount.
