# It Is Our Turn to Get Cannabis High: Put Cannabinoids in Food and Health Baskets
## 8 Medicinal Properties of Cannabinoids
The pharmacological and therapeutic effects of endocannabinoidss and phytocannabinoids are summarized in Table 1 and include antinociceptive, anti-epileptic, cardiovascular, immunosuppressive effects [134], nausea and vomiting, appetite stimulation [135], anticancer [136; 137], antimicrobial [138], anti-inflammatory [139], neuroprotective antioxidants [140], and pain therapy [141]. Cannabis is also a potential drug for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) [142]. The other positive effects of cannabinoidss have been observed in various psychiatric syndromes including depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders [143; 144]. Considering unwanted side effects and other challenges, cannabinoids also could potentially be used in ophthalmology and for possible treatment of glaucoma [145]. As reviewed recently, cannabinoid can potentially be used to treat psoriasis, acne vulgaris, skin cancer, allergic contact, sateatotic and atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, Kaposi sarcoma, pruritus, systemic sclerosis (MS), and pathophysiology of skin inflammation, although, further approved clinical evidence must be provided to confirm their usefulness without any side effects [146; 147; 148]. \begin{table}

Table 1: Pharmacological and therapeutic effects of endocannabinoids and phytocannabinoids. Since the beginning of the 21 st century, different countries, such as the United States, Canada, Austria, Finland, Germany, Portugal, and Spain, and just recently Iran, have authorized and regulated medical cannabis for its therapeutic effects. Some of the synthetic, extract, or natural forms of cannabinoid available on the world market or under research and clinical trials include Marinol(r), Cesamet(tm), Sativex(r), Epidiolex(r), Bedrocan(r), Bedrobinol(r), Bediol(r), Bedica(r), Bedrolite(r)[167, 168] Namios(r) and Syndros(r) (Dronabinol(r) oral solution), Epidiolex(r), and Arvisol(r) (Table 2). Medical cannabis can be used in a number of different ways, for example, as pills, tablets, capsules, soft gel, dissolved in an oil solution (olive, sesame, coconut, or hempseed oil), tea, or by inhaling it after vaporization.
