cannabis receptors

Cannabis receptors are specialized parts of the body’s endocannabinoid system that recognize and respond to compounds found in cannabis, such as THC and CBD. These receptors, mainly CB1 and CB2, help regulate functions like mood, pain, appetite, and immune response. When cannabis compounds bind to these receptors, they can alter these processes, producing effects like relaxation, pain relief, or altered perception. The endocannabinoid system is a natural network that maintains balance in the body, and cannabis compounds interact with it to influence various physiological functions.
