The Science Behind Cannabis Effects

Understanding how cannabis works within the human body empowers consumers to make better choices. The endocannabinoid system, discovered in the 1990s, consists of receptors throughout the body that interact with cannabinoids to regulate various physiological processes. These include mood, appetite, pain sensation, and immune response. When cannabis compounds bind to these receptors, they can influence these systems in ways that many find beneficial for their overall wellbeing.

Different cannabinoids produce distinct effects, and understanding these differences helps in selecting appropriate products. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) primarily binds to CB1 receptors in the brain, producing psychoactive effects along with potential benefits for pain relief and appetite stimulation. CBD (cannabidiol) interacts differently with the endocannabinoid system, offering potential benefits without intoxication. Minor cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, and CBC each contribute unique properties that can enhance the overall cannabis experience through what researchers call the “entourage effect.”
