[@antoinevince1]

Does cannabis consumption induce a deficiency of endocannabinoids ?

[@randomness3235]

Dr. Bob Melamede talks about that in some of his lectures and maybe even on his personal channel too. I think Dr. David Allen (previously heart surgeon) talks about that too.. and a few others.

His slide showed "Probiotics" twice, when it should have been "Prebiotics" feds "Probiotics". Perhaps, he should take more CBD oil to enhance the old brain!
