A peripheral cannabinoid mechanism suppresses spinal fos protein expression and pain behavior in a rat model of inflammation.

  “The present studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that systemically inactive doses of cannabinoids suppress inflammation-evoked neuronal activity in vivo via a peripheral mechanism…

…These data provide direct evidence that a peripheral cannabinoid mechanism suppresses the development of inflammation-evoked neuronal activity at the level of the spinal dorsal horn and implicate a role for CB(2) and CB(1) in peripheral cannabinoid modulation of inflammatory nociception.”
