ors has led to their recent withdrawal from the market and limits on their usages. Our research has shown that the use of endogenous cannabinoid 2-AG may avoid such side effects. Therefore, elevation of endogenous 2-AG levels by facilitating its production, inhibiting its decomposition, or directly supplying 2-AG may result in treatment advances to prevent the devastation of disorders like stroke, Alzheimer's and traumatic brain injury."
