The New Victorianism

The Old Victorianism – Sex
The New Victorianism – Endocannabinoid

Break the New Victorianism. Post “Endocannabinoid” as a comment everywhere – no explanation just “Endocannabinoid”.

Update: 9 April 2013 1453z

A commenter is wondering about the meaning of Endocannabinoid. And gives me a wink. It does not mean what you think it means. This is what it means:

There are more endocannabinoid receptors in the body than any other receptor type. The endocannabinoid system is a major regulator in the body implicated in almost all diseases including cancer.

So if using just one word bothers you – there are thirty words you can use. If that is too long try the first thirteen.

What brought this on? I had another piece on endocannabinoids rejected. See the preface to: Endocannabinoids The Science.
