The video talks about the human body having cannabinoid receptors and that they are designed for receiving cannabis. The body also has opioid receptors, that is why drugs like opium, morphine and heroin work. The reason why the body has these receptors is that it produces substances that are similar to the ones extracted from the cannabis and poppy plants and that are natural to the human body. The plants have their own similar substances that are natural to them but alien to the human body, though sufficiently similar that they connect to the same receptors.
The experts in the video should or dare I say, do know this. Yet they start their discourse by presenting a myth commonly propagated by recreational users, that the body's receptors are designed specifically, even by God, to receive cannabis from the cannabis plant. That is why I conclude that the video is propaganda.

This video is directed at people with little to no general knowledge of the medicinal qualities of Cannabis. You're suggesting that they not cover that part of the information?
The information is incorrect.
"Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the*Endocannabinoid system*which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including*appetite,*pain-sensation,*mood, and*memory."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor
The human body is designed to receive endocannabinoids, the substances that it produces itself to regulate those things. Not phytocannabinoids, the substances produced by the cannabis plant and some other plants. Like other substances, extracts or synthetic, they can be used medicinally and with various side effects (getting drugged or "high" is one side effect) but they aren't natural to the human body.
I thought spinach was the sacred plant
Peppermint leaves! I always have some drying in my kitchen, for peppermint tea. Boil them in water, remove the leaves, add a little bit of sugar and you have a delicious, dark golden brew that has positive effects on the body including a soothing effect on the digestive system.

I already said that cannabinoids and other substances can be used medicinally. Including morphine and other opioids. Some people seem to think that the "high" involved with THC is a fringe benefit but it is technically a negative side effect. Many people use the other substance from the plant, cannabidiol, as medicine which doesn't produce a high.
Quest (11-22-2017)
Many people have successfully replaced opiate based pain killers with cannabis.
