Researchers studying how THC interacts with the human body in the early 1990s initially discovered that everyone has an ECS, even if they have never used cannabis in their lives. Before cannabis was made legal, hemp and marijuana were used to cure a number of ailments, such as epilepsy, migraines, arthritis, pain, depression, and nausea. While it's possible that traditional healers were unaware of the plant's mechanism of action, their observations of its effectiveness laid the groundwork for later scientific research. Following the discovery of the ECS, which revealed a biological basis for the therapeutic effects of plant cannabinoids, interest in cannabis as a medicine has increased once more.
