The body can convert linoleic acid into arachidonic acid, so all the seed oil eaters probably have more than us sane animal product eaters.

The fact that the endocannabinoid system is part of this inflammatory pathway is the one thing that recently made me wonder if marijuana is as safe as I thought it was.

This could be like an addictive situation, except the addiction is largely inside the body- the seed oil junkie needs ever larger amounts of endocannabinoids to feel good, while the animal product eater has a well balanced system and can't understand what the fuss is about.

Inflammation is necessary to heal, so a little is good, but it must resolve quickly. But whether its seed oils or marijuana, the behavior pattern seems to be chronic, which leads to constant, unresolved inflammation.

So, yeah, I'm still not sure about this, and I like the sentiment in the video. But the logic, based on what I know, point in the direction I mentioned.

You’re confusing a few similar but very different things. Different sources of the same product don’t produce the same outcome. The video is talking about how seed oils are bad and that society has veered away from the healthy fat nutrients we need to feel our best. There are low quality fats and high quality fats, just like low quality cannabis and high quality cannabis. The point is that constant seed oils or constant tobacco is far more dangerous than quality cannabinoids that allow some people to open up new neurological pathways in the brain. Too much of any smoke isn’t good for the lungs, but the mental benefits of certain strains and certain nutrients are interesting. It makes sense why governments frown upon cannabis and not cocaine, fentanyl, alcohol, inflammatory seed oils, etc.

I am not wrong in the way you think I am. Just found out stearoylethanolamide is an endocannabinoid made from stearic acid- saturated fat! So not all are made from AA. So some should be less inflammatory. But it still should makes sense to look at the ones marijuana delivers to see how many are inflammatory. The seed oil story shows we should take caution with this pathway.
