GlossaryCannabinoids

chemical compounds in cannabis interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant that interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate various physiological processes such as pain, mood, and appetite. The two most well-known cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is psychoactive, and CBD (cannabidiol), which is non-psychoactive and often used for its potential therapeutic benefits.
