What are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are a group of chemical compounds that are found in the cannabis plant. They interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for regulating a variety of physiological processes such as mood, appetite, pain sensation, and sleep.

The two most well-known cannabinoids found in cannabis are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana use, while CBD is non-psychoactive and is known for its potential therapeutic benefits.

There are many other cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, some of which have been studied for their potential therapeutic effects. For example, cannabigerol (CBG) has been shown to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, while cannabinol (CBN) is believed to have sedative effects.

The effects of different cannabinoids can vary depending on factors such as dosage, method of consumption, and individual physiology. It's important to research and understand the potential risks and benefits of using cannabinoids and consult with a healthcare professional before trying them.
