Trump, CBD & The Endocannabinoid System: A Turning Point in U.S. Medicine

Описание: 🧠 The moment a CBD medicine was FDA-approved and DEA-descheduled under the Trump Administration changed everything — it’s time for doctors to learn the Endocannabinoid System.

In recent years, something historic happened that most people—even many clinicians—completely missed.
👉 A CBD-based prescription drug (Epidiolex) was approved by the FDA, then descheduled by the DEA.

That single regulatory shift under the Trump Administration quietly validated what scientists like Prof. Raphael Mechoulam have been saying for decades:
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is real, measurable, and clinically relevant.

🇺🇸 A Federal Turning Point

Epidiolex remains the only FDA-approved CBD medicine. After its approval, the DEA placed it in Schedule V in 2018 and later fully descheduled it in 2020.
No other CBD products are approved—but this one change set a precedent:
✅ Cannabinoid-based drugs can clear the highest regulatory bar.
✅ Federal agencies are acknowledging ECS-based therapies.

This wasn’t about politics. It was about recognition.

🧠 Why It Matters for Doctors & Hospitals

The ECS is often called the body’s “second brain.” It’s a network of receptors (CB1 & CB2), endocannabinoids, and enzymes that helps regulate balance across multiple systems: immune, neurological, endocrine, inflammatory, and more.

Mechoulam’s NIH preclinical work summed it up powerfully:

“Changes in endocannabinoid levels and/or CB2 receptor expressions have been reported in almost all diseases affecting humans… and modulating CB2 receptor activity holds tremendous therapeutic potential.” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles...

This isn’t fringe science—it’s fundamental physiology that most medical schools still don’t teach.

🚨 Time for ECS Literacy

If the U.S. government now recognizes a cannabinoid medicine at the highest level, then medical education must catch up.
Hospitals, physicians, and health leaders need to understand the ECS—not to sell products, but to make informed decisions grounded in evidence.
