The authors suggested their findings showed that cannabinoids played a key role in erasing painful memories.
They found that mice which produced fewer cannabinoids froze when they heard the tone, anticipating an electric shock.

The first was engineered to produce more cannabinoids while the second was engineered to produce fewer of these chemicals.
In the Senate, several pieces of legislation concerning synthetic drugs are pending, including one that deals specifically with synthetic cannabinoids.

The mice which produced more cannabinoids appeared to forget to associate the tone with the electric shock and didn't freeze.

Chris Jones, the chief executive of the MS Trust, said it was "frustrating" that there was no clear physical proof that cannabinoids helped relieve spasticity.

CB2 receptors, located predominantly in peripheral tissue, exist at very low levels in the CNS. With the development of receptor-specific antagonists, additional information about the roles of the receptors and endogenous cannabinoids in the modulation of pain has been obtained.
