The 600 million year old Endo Cannabinoid System (ECS) emerged as an early biological harm reduction system. The ECS maintains a constantly adaptive receptor system that functions as a biological scanning system, detecting biochemical information in the extracellular matrix. The ECS is the densest of all receptor systems in the CNS, performing a myriad of vital functions. All types of cannabinoids protect neurons from multiple insults that produce neuronal death after TBI, including free radical production, neuroinflammation, excite-toxicity and calcium influx. In humans, ECS coordination is integral to both health promotion and disease prevention. As a stress reduction system, the ECS responds positively not only to cannabinoids, but also to diet, lifestyle and physical medicine interventions. The variable nature of the ECS dictates a patient-centered dosing paradigm and necessitates a time-intensive, education-based approach to care.
