Glutamate, GABA & the Ouroboros of the Cannabinoids

The ability of the endocannabinoids to regulate glutamate & GABA may underlie much of their ability to heal. As the brain's primary excitatory & inhibitory neurotransmitters respectively, glutamate & GABA are workhorses of homeostasis in the mind. In today's talk, we'll look at how the phytocannabinoids & endocannabinoids interact with these two key neurotransmitters as well as how this relates to a number of medical & mental health conditions. About the speaker: With a background in biochemistry, Lex Pelger writes about the science of psychoactives with his company White Whale Creations. He's written three graphic novels about the endocannabinoid system based on Moby-Dick & hosts the Lex Files podcast about spirituality & psychoactives.
