Cannabinoids are compounds in cannabis that interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to produce various effects such as euphoria, relaxation, and pain relief. THC and CBD are the most recognized cannabinoids, while over 100 exist, each with unique benefits. The ECS regulates important functions including mood, sleep, and memory through receptors like CB1 and CB2. THC binds to CB1 receptors causing psychoactive effects and appetite stimulation, while understanding cannabinoids helps consumers select products for specific needs.
