Fatty acids increase endocannabanoids

The following studie suggests that certain fatty acids will increase the levels of N-acylethanolamines which slow the breakdown of anandamide.

Thanks for the info. Interesting--Ive noticed this past week that when I dont take my fatty acid supp (the high EPA country life brand) it seems like I dont get as much positive effect from the cocoa I was trying.
I wonder if, to get all these benefits (assuming omega3s in general might give an endocannaboid boost to those in the study), it might be a good idea to find a maximum beneficial dose. Everyone seems to have their own and I wonder if many of us could be taking more than 1000mg or so.

anandamide? Hmmmm... does that mean taking fatty acids is like smoking pot in some vague way.

I have a large picture of the anandamide molecule as my background image. Yeah, THC mimics anandamide. So if you are loaded with fatty acids then you are probably going to be more mellow cause your internal marajuanna will be more active.
