The inhibition of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) the enzyme responsible for the inactivation of the endocannabinoid 2‐arachidonoylglycerol, is a strategy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. In their Communication on page 13765 ff., M. L. López‐Rodríguez and co‐workers describe a potent, reversible, and selective inhibitor of MAGL that slows the clinical progression of multiple sclerosis without inducing undesirable CB 1 ‐mediated side effect.
