The Endocannabinoid System
The body's master regulatory network.
A biological system of endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors expressed throughout the vertebrate central and peripheral nervous systems. Understanding it is foundational to modern plant medicine.
01
Receptor Signalling
CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors respond to endogenous and plant-derived ligands across the nervous and immune systems.
02
Physiological Regulation
Implicated in fertility, pregnancy, pre and postnatal development, immune activity, appetite, pain sensation, mood and memory.
03
Clinical Research Barriers
Federal prohibition has limited clinical investigation. Yet documented therapeutic use dates to 2700 BC, with over 100 published articles between 1840 and 1900.
04
Professional Education
GCRC is developing affiliated education programs for doctors, nurses and clinicians entering cannabinoid medicine.
Phyto-Food Research Initiative
Our food should be our path to health, healing and prevention.
The PFRI investigates hemp-derived nutrition and its preventative potential in populations at elevated risk of carcinogen exposure, conducted in unison with universities and independent research entities.

Edestin ProteinFound Only in Hemp Seed
The proteins of life.
Edestin aids digestion, is relatively phosphorus-free, and is considered the backbone of the cell's DNA. Structurally similar to the body's own globular plasma proteins, it produces antibodies vital to immune health.
Unlike soy, hemp protein contains no trypsin inhibitors and no oligosaccharides, and is cold-pressed rather than hexane-extracted, preserving the negative electrical charge that allows amino acids to cross the intestinal barrier.
