Key Findings:  Cannabinoid-based therapeutics that increase or decrease the bioavailability of endocannabinoids may offer novel treatment options for pain, mood disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders, obesity, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular conditions and liver diseases for example. However, the authors also suggest that more research is needed to determine optimal or future therapeutic use.
