Its receptor site is the same one that THC in marijuana links up with. Is it any wonder that Shiva is Lord of Ganja and Lord or the Yogis? Functionally, THC and Anandmide have the same effect in the nervous system by activating the same receptors. And yet anandmide is seen as a precursor to "an entirely new family of theraputic drugs: and marijuana is viewed politically as having absolutely no medicinal benefits. Go figure.
