Cannabinoid science

Cannabinoid science studies compounds found in cannabis, like THC and CBD, and how they interact with the body's endocannabinoid system—a network of receptors that help regulate functions like pain, mood, memory, and appetite. When cannabinoids enter the body, they bind to these receptors, influencing various physiological processes. Researchers explore their potential for pain relief, reducing inflammation, and other medical benefits, while also understanding their effects and safety. This field combines biology, chemistry, and medicine to better understand how these substances impact health and how they can be used responsibly.
