Cannabidiol receptors

Cannabidiol (CBD) receptors are part of the body's endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate various functions such as mood, pain, and immune response. Unlike THC, another compound found in cannabis, CBD does not create a "high." Instead, it interacts with receptors in the brain and body to potentially promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and alleviate pain without psychoactive effects. The main receptors involved are CB1 and CB2; CB1 is mostly found in the brain, while CB2 is more common in the immune system and peripheral tissues. Understanding these receptors helps researchers explore CBD's therapeutic potential.
