Medical cannabis works on the endocannabinoid system, which is a complex cell-signalling system that helps keep balance within your body. Activating or inhibiting this system has an effect on many body functions. PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES AND CBPMS Professional athletes put their bodies under enormous pressure over their relatively short careers. Injuries are often treated with the aim of getting athletes back on the track or field as soon as possible, rather than looking at the long-term impact or a particular break, strain, or tear. For retired athletes and non-athletes alike, it is important to note that medical cannabis can only be prescribed if the patient has tried a number of other therapies without success.
