Research on the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
The No More Zombie Veterans campaign, led by veteran Derek Pyrah, is dedicated to advocating for therapies that support the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to help veterans manage treatment-resistant Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and other chronic health conditions. Below is a curated list of 16 peer-reviewed studies from 2008 to 2023, exploring the ECS’s role in these conditions. These studies underscore the potential of ECS-based therapies, such as medicinal cannabis, as safer alternatives to traditional psychiatric treatments, supporting our mission to reduce veteran suicide rates and enhance quality of life.
