Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids are natural compounds found in the cannabis plant, with the two most well-known being THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is psychoactive, meaning it produces the “high” associated with marijuana, while CBD is non-psychoactive and is often used for potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing anxiety and inflammation. These compounds interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes, including mood, pain, and appetite. Cannabinoids are increasingly studied for their medical applications, and they can be consumed through various forms, including oils, edibles, and inhalants.
