In the ever-expanding world of medical marijuana, di erent medicinal bene ts of cannabis have been unearthed with a
signi cant foundation of scienti c studies and research for validation. And as the existing medical use of marijuana
continue to gain prominence, several other medicinal bene ts of cannabis continues to arise, and one such medicinal
bene t is the role that cannabis plays in balancing cholesterol levels of the human body system.
Cholesterol is a very important substance that is currently and the mechanisms on how to balance the levels of
cholesterol in the body is a very hot topic in the medical world. This is because a large number of the lifestyles that are
prevalent in most communities nowadays as well as the types of diets that make up the nutritional menu of the
majority of the population are those that predispose people to developing an unhealthy level of cholesterol in their
body system.
In order to fully grasp what this entails, we must understand what cholesterol is, the role it plays in the body, the
sources of cholesterol outside the body, and the e ects of having an unhealthy level of cholesterol.
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is an organic compound that is produced in the liver that occurs naturally in the cells and serves the
function of helping in the synthesis of vitamin D as well as the digestion process. Since cholesterol is naturally produced
in the body, the body accounts for a large number of cholesterol levels found in the human body system. However, food
sources with a high amount of saturated fat as well as a high body weight are known to cause an evidential increase in
cholesterol levels of the body. Cholesterol molecules in the body are naturally reduced by lipoproteins, however, when
high levels of cholesterol are seen in the body there is a need to count on other factors to help in the balance of
cholesterol levels.
When it comes to cholesterol, they can be divided into good cholesterol and bad cholesterol which are synonymous
with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
The amount and proportion of LDLs and HDLs present in the human body systems are very important as they
determine if the cholesterol amount present in the body will result in health complications or not.

LDLs accumulate in blood vessels thereby hardening the arteries and a ecting blood ow. HDLs present in the body
systems acts to degrade the LDL deposits present in the bloodstream. Blood thinners and statins have long been
employed in the reduction of cholesterol levels in body systems but their levels of e ciency have always made it a
desire of the medical world to discover something better, here comes cannabis.
Cannabis and Cholesterol
The potential of cannabis is obvious for the world to see and studies show that where we can expect to see the action of
cannabis towards trying to create a balance of cholesterol levels is in the place of high cholesterol level which
culminates into a condition known as metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome, a medical condition involving high
cholesterol, high blood sugar, abdominal fat, and high blood pressure. This condition predisposes a patient to a high
risk of developing coronary artery disease, heart disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, and diabetes.
Cannabis use has been suggested as a way out as several studies have shown that cannabis users show fewer odds of
predisposition to metabolic syndrome. These studies alone are not the basis for which there has been a drive to look
into the role cannabis can play in reducing and balancing cholesterol levels in the body.
Several other extensive works of research have also shown a correlation between cannabis use and high HDL levels
which will in turn reduce the LDL population because of the action of HDLs in reducing LDL deposits in the body. Also,
the relationship between low body mass index and cannabis use resulting in less risk of diabetes is part of the reasons
that have led to an increase in the conduction of more de nite studies to gure out the role that cannabis can play in
the balance of cholesterol levels.
One other reason for the increasing inquiry into the possible relevance of cannabis in the maintenance of cholesterol
levels is the e ect shown by Rimonabant, a CB1 antagonist that was not legalized for use in the US due to the
expression of concerning side e ects like depression. However, because of Rimonabant similarities with cannabidiol
and the fact that it increased the level of good cholesterol, it has sparked a lot of research to gure out if their is a way
to safely use cannabis to balance cholesterol levels.

Numerous questions are still being asked and relevant studies are being carried out to the end that a standard
relationship between cannabis and the maintenance of cholesterol levels may be established. Till then, the proven
methods that are guaranteed to ensure a reduction in unhealthy cholesterol levels include a change in lifestyle,
incorporation of a diet with low saturated fats into your nutritional regimen, exercise, and maintaining a safe body
weight.

One thing is certain, more people will be trying cannabis for the rst time than ever before in history. This means that people are unaware of the heavy doses of
cannabis edibles. We need proper education on it, proper instructions on the packages and to teach people how to “ride the snake” effectively.
