Forgive the Wikipedia reference on this one - I promise to dig deeper.
To my surprise I found out that EGCG, the powerful neuro-protectant in green tea, also activates at least the CB1 cannabinoid (same as cannibis, THC) receptor.
Look at the section under Ligands on this Wikipedia:
http://www.naturalnews.com/035380_curcumin_degenerative_disease_brain.html
It lists EGCG as "Agonist" for CB1 :-)
I will dig for papers on this.
In my book I explain how I incorporate lots of green tea in my diet.
God Bless,
Glen
