After reading this article, I tried to find any studies.

I am stunned if there really are not any studies on this substance and it's affects to the human body.

Please post any links you may know of.

I see this quoted often, but I cannot find a direct link.
As the journal Nature Medicine put it in 2003, "the endocannabinoid system has an important role in nearly every paradigm of pain, in memory, in neurodegeneration and in inflammation."
Thank you for any help in tracking down a link to the source of this quote.

or examples like this.

Thank you.
 
It's a news article, but it doesn't cite the exact studies:

You can find studies by searching PubMed for the keywords pain, memory, neurodegeneration, or inflammation and marijuana. You can use the tag [tiab] to only search the title+abstract for the keywords (thus getting more relevant results).

ooops, I missed that. Sorry.
 
As I mentioned, the news report is not informative as it doesn't list the citations. On PubMed there are freely accessible papers available, you can tick a box to only reveal those in your search.

The quote you are asking about is a quote relating to the endocannabinoid system. Your research should begin with the search term, "endocannabinoid system" rather than "marijuana pain neurodegeneration inflammation".


See this, for example.
