I just went to the home page of Prevention Magazine and entered “endocannabinoid” into the search engine. Nothing.
There are more endocannabinoid receptors in the body than any other receptor type. Nothing at Prevention.
If you go to go to the NIH site and search “endocannabinoid” you will get over 120,000 cites (It was 130,000+ a few days ago – some one must be pruning). And yet Prevention Magazine has nothing.
In Victorian days sex was unmentionable. These days it seems endocannabinoid is unmentionable. Perhaps it is time to break the taboo. Mention it everywhere. And give Prevention the news.
Update 12 April 2012 1626z
NIH is now down to 100,000 cites. The issue must terrify them.

The Victorians weren’t very “Victorian” about drugs.
Queen Victoria was a regular user of tincture of cannabis.
The Victorians, however, were very Victorian about legs. They were limbs. Even on chairs. Different eras. Different squicks. I think I’d rather be forced to hide my legs… (even my chair’s legs) but, what is, is.
Nowadays, I can walk around with bare (GASP) LEGS. Things change. Even with “morals” against them. Keep pushing.
Women won rights from the men who held the power – and yes, they did then. Slaves won their freedom from the men and women who thought themselves the masters and mistresses. (And to our shame, both women and blacks have tried to keep up the victim status, but that’s another post.)
But…the underdog doesn’t always lose. Keep pushing. Eventually we’ll win.
