This session highlights some of the leading research on dietary cannabinoids and health. The health benefits of cannabinoids are an exciting area of research. Preparations form cannabis have been used in medicine for millennia. Numerous diseases, such as anorexia, emesis, pain, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders (Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Tourette's syndrome, Alzheimer's disease), epilepsy, glaucoma, osteoporosis, schizophrenia, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, obesity, and metabolic syndrome-related disorders, to name just a few, are being treated or have the potential to be treated by cannabinoid-related compounds.
