Article Abstract:

The biological properties of marijuana and cannabinoids were studied due to the discovery of cell-surface receptors that bind to the major active component of marijuana, delta(super 9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This component is found to ease inflammation and slow the progression of coronary artery disease.
