How Do Cannabinoids Work? THC TX

The human Endocannabinoid System (ECS) was discovered in the 1990s during research on the effects of cannabis on the human body. Very simply, the body has two types of receptors that serve to moderate a wide range of critical systems including memory, mood, motor function, and pain.

 CB1 receptors are most commonly found in the brain and central nervous system. CB2 receptors are most commonly found in our immune system.

These receptors play an important regulatory role in many physiological processes like our mood, energy level, immune activity, blood pressure, bone density, glucose metabolism, how we experience pain, stress, hunger, and more.

When the Endocannabinoid System doesn’t function properly, our bodies respond adversely. Science has shown that proper regulation of the endocannabinoid system is disabled in nearly all pathological conditions.
