    Immunology (The Journal Of Cells, Molecules, Systems, And Technologies) reports nearly every cell in the immune system secretes endocannabinoids. Growing bodies of evidence support the understanding of the ECS (endocannabinoid system) playing a vital role in the immune system. Research is showing endocannabinoids help modulate various cannabinoid receptors located on several immune system cells. With high levels of cannabinoid receptors in the immune system, research reveals cannabinoids may regulate inflammation, autoimmunity, antitumor, and antipathogenic responses. Not only does the endocannabinoid system regulate these immune system responses, but several other physiological mechanisms and potentially more.

    Activating immune system cannabinoid receptors triggers a series of events with the resulting function of regulating the production and migration of cytokines. Cytokines are a broad category of immune cells involved in certain signaling functions acting as agents for modulating (stimulating or suppressing) the immune system. In essence, cytokines help the immune system regulate the response of the immune system working together, alone, or against each other.
