NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk for medical advice. We've flagged this talk for falling outside TEDx's content guidelines. While cannabis and CBD are an emerging field of study, their associated health effects remain inconclusive and unsupported by current scientific evidence. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
In this riveting talk, Rachel Knox, MD / MBA, explores the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) and the revolution of one. How we can take control to harness the power found in our own bodies. We will not stop until this universal knowledge is in the medical textbooks / curriculum for all to learn and understand. A profound idea worth spreading...
With special thanks to core the TEDxPortland organizing team, 70+ volunteers and cherished partners - without you this experience would not be possible. Our event history can be found TEDxPortland.com
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Rachel is the co-founder of American Cannabinoid Clinics and Chair of the Oregon Cannabis Commission. She received her medical and business degrees from Tufts University and then pursued additional study of the most important physiologic system in the human body - the endocannabinoid system. She is passionate about educating her professional peers and broader public about the safety and effectiveness of Cannabinoid Medicine. Her work is groundbreaking at a transformative time in our society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Dr Rachel is endocannabinologist. Cbd helps my elderly father (80 years old) with anxiety,depression,body aches, sleep, appetite, and best of all mood. Also, I’ve starting taking 30 mg/ day. I train Brazilian jiu Jitsu. My body recovers at a better rate. My day goes on with much more simplicity. It helps physically and mentally. It’s the real deal. I’m so glad I introduce it to my father.

Thanks TEDx, for uploading this talk even when you've flagged it for "falling outside TEDx's content guidelines". Thanks everybody, for being here, alive, in this wonderful time. A new Earth is possible. The change lies in our hands.

"...We've flagged this talk for falling outside TEDx's content guidelines..." So you can't talk about important subjects that have the potential to help suffering people? Oh you can, as long as it's not cannabis. All the Ted talks about cannabis etc. are being almost completely censored/supressed. They get around 90% less views than other videos. Not sure if that's fair if the potential for helping people is as big as stated in this video. Wtf Ted?

I doubt TedX cares about cannabis as a topic since it's almost universally accepted, socially if not legally I'm guessing it may have been flagged for the quality of the discussion.

I watched this particular presentation years ago. What surprises me is that it only has 409 comments to this date. Thank you for an amazing presentation. Your attempt to spread the word on the ECS is the thing to do. With the cost of health care on the rise and becoming less and less obtainable for the average person, something has to give. When more people choose self love over drugs and fast food, Hopefully, they will spread this information. I pray it goes viral!

Omgosh. "Anandamide is responsible for the runner's high." Wow, I was a straight laced kid in high school. Didn't drink or smoke weed. However, I ran track and cross country all four years. I loved going on long runs with my friends and solo. I experienced the runner's high many many times. A sense of peace, well being, and one with the universe. It took me until age 48 to activate this system again with natural medicine. Thanks for the Ted Talk. You are a life saver.

I have had some chronic pain and illnesses for much of my life. I can say that I personally smoked a lot of weed in my younger years, but gave it up thinking it harmful. Recently after some health challenges, and living in a recreational legal state, I decided to give it a go. I can tell you without doubt that my body had started to repair itself, and that I feel a distinct energy flow in my body that has been absent for so long I didn’t realize it was missing. If you’re curious, I say it’s worth the experiment!

I'm on it for EDS, fibromyalgia, visceral and other hypersensitivity pain and awful muscle spasms etc and so far it's been really helpful. I was really surprised as also am definitely more active during the day and sleep better at night. So grateful this is hopefully slowly allowing more research into certain plants.

We have been educating our customers in our stores all about phytocannabinoids and endocannabinoids. We've found that our shops gain far more popularity with customers because all of our staff is required to learn from people like Dr. Rachel Knox. If you ever shop for Cannabis products (we're in NC and sell what is legal here and ship in USA), be sure to ask questions to make sure the person helping has some depth of knowledge beyond "yeah, it's got THC and some other stuff in it." We hope TEDx and others expand their talks with more on natural healing tools!
