Welcome to the world of cannabinoids. It's a wonderful world I must say. Whether you're searching for more information about a product you purchased at the dispensary or trying to learn more about the effects of a specific cannabinoid, don't worry, we have you covered. 😉
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. There are over 400 chemicals found in the plant, and 60 of them are considered cannabinoid compounds. They each have their own effects (psychoactive or nonpsychoactive) and offer a number of benefits for everything from chronic pain to inflammation to stress.
One example is Delta-9 THC which comes from the cannabis plant. We call it a phytocannabinoid, meaning it’s a cannabinoid chemical found in plants (phyto- means “plant” in Greek). When scientists synthesize THC in a lab, it’s a synthetic cannabinoid, meaning it’s human-made. Most cannabinoids are found in cannabis in small numbers, however, many have to make a synthetic cannabinoid to make the oil content strong enough to feel.
Below you'll find a list of the most popular cannabinoids, which you can click on to learn more information about each one. Our list of cannabinoids is consistently updated and we will be adding new ones as they come to market.
As mentioned above, there are hundreds of cannabinoids that have been found to provide therapeutic, mental and physical improvements. Each cannabinoid tends to have its own effects and health benefits including anti-inflammatory properties, helping with insomnia, stopping epilepsy, eliminating malignant tumors, reducing anxiety, relieving depression and more.
This list of cannabinoids above are the most common and has been studied more in-depth for medical purposes. There are both psychoactive (THC) and non-psychoactive (CBD) cannabinoids and each interacts with the endocannabinoid system and CB1 & CB2 receptors.
Click on the cannabinoid to learn how each one affects your body differently.
To explain in the most simplistic terms. CB1 receptors are in the brain and central nervous system, whereas, CB2 receptors are present in the immune system, organs and tissues. Both can utilize cannabinoids in one way or another and give us a hint on why we may feel psychoactive and non-psychoactive effects.
To be straightforward, cannabinoids are found in almost every part of the cannabis plant. For this example, let’s look at Delta-9 THC, which is the most-well know cannabis compound. It is found in the cannabis plant. Its proper name is phytocannabinoid, meaning it’s a cannabinoid chemical found in plants (phyto- means “plant” in Greek). When scientists synthesize THC in a lab, it’s a synthetic cannabinoid, meaning it’s human-made. Most cannabinoids are found in cannabis in small numbers, however, many have to make synthetic cannabinoids oils to create a product that is strong enough to feel.
Cannabinoids are most known for their therapeutic and medicinal uses, effects and benefits. Depending on the cannabinoid, you could feel euphoric psychoactive properties or relaxing body effects.
