Cannabis isn't just a plant—it's a 500-million-year evolutionary partnership between humans and one of nature's most sophisticated biochemical factories. These articles explore how cannabis works with our endocannabinoid system to enhance adaptation, reduce inflammation, and optimize the thermodynamic processes that keep us alive.
Dr. Bob Melamede spent decades studying the endocannabinoid system and its role in human health. His research revealed that cannabinoids aren't foreign substances that hijack our biology—they're molecules that work with systems our bodies evolved over millions of years. The endocannabinoid system regulates everything from mood and appetite to immune function and cellular repair.
These articles examine the science behind cannabis medicine, the politics that kept it illegal for decades, and the emerging research that's finally validating what traditional cultures knew for thousands of years. We explore how different cannabinoids affect the body, why the entourage effect matters, and how cannabis fits into a broader understanding of health as a far-from-equilibrium process.
Whether you're interested in cannabis for medical purposes, curious about the science behind its effects, or simply want to understand why this plant has been so controversial, these articles provide a thermodynamic perspective on one of nature's most remarkable medicines.
Cannabis is Not a Drug
Reframe everything you think you know. Cannabis isn't a drug in the traditional sense—it's a key that fits a lock you already have. The science.
The Ultimate Bio-Hack
Forget nootropics and cold plunges. The most powerful bio-hack has been illegal for 80 years. How cannabis enhances neuroplasticity and adaptation.
Why Prohibition Makes No Scientific Sense
The Schedule I classification of cannabis is scientifically indefensible. A 4:20 breakdown of why the law is 50 years behind the science.
The Skillset Cannabis Unlocks
Dr. Bob talked about the 'skillset' that cannabis enables—creativity, pattern recognition, flow states. The science behind the stereotype.
Cannabis and the Adaptive Mind
The world is changing faster than our brains evolved to handle. Cannabis isn't an escape—it's an upgrade. How to use it as a tool, not a crutch.
The Stoner Stereotype is Dead
CEOs, athletes, scientists—the most successful people are using cannabis strategically. The new paradigm of high performance.
What Dr. Bob Actually Said About Weed
Not hippie nonsense. Peer-reviewed science from a PhD molecular biologist. Dr. Bob's actual research on cannabis and human health.
The Plant That Evolved With Us
Cannabis and humans have co-evolved for thousands of years. We have receptors specifically designed for cannabinoids. This isn't an accident.
