Guide to Cannabinoids
What are cannabinoids?
Phytocannabinoids, or simply called cannabinoids, are the naturally occurring compounds found in a few plants, but most abundantly in Cannabis sativa. There are over 100 known natural cannabinoids found in C. sativa, with Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) being the most prominent and well-studied. Cannabinoids are in part responsible for the medicinal and psychoactive effects Cannabis can provide.
What is the endocannabinoid system?
Cannabinoids interact with the human body through the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a neuron regulatory system made up of endocannabinoids (cannabinoids naturally produced by the human body), receptors (named CB1 and CB2) and enzymes that aid the body in maintaining homeostasis. This involves regulating an array of body systems, including pain, memory, mood and appetite.
