This paper looks at harm reduction not only from a social point of view but also from a biological one. The fact that all mammals have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) manufacturing and making use of cannabis like products would suggest that the use of cannabis can only help regulate our bodies. We know the ECS regulates the cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, immune, nervous and reproductive systems amongst others, so it stands to reason the regular consumption of cannabis can only benefit the inner workings of our ECS.
