About

DR. MECHOULAM

Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam, the father of cannabis research, passed away on March 10, 2023, at 92 years of age. In early 1960, he was the first to reveal the structure of cannabidiol (CBD) and delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), molecules now used worldwide as medicine.1,2

In addition, Professor Mechoulam and his research group identified the endocannabinoid system, a biological system with endogenous neuromodulators that bind to specific receptors and are synthesized and metabolized by specific enzymes. It is now recognized that this system regulates various cognitive, physiological and pathophysiological processes, including immune system activity, memory, mood, pain, psychosis, etc. It also mediates the pharmacological effects of the cannabis plant.
