The Endocannabinoid System

Weaving cannabis into our lifestyles is a natural process that our bodies are already equipped to carry out. Decades of research reveal that the most active parts of the cannabis plant, the cannabinoids, work with receptors in our bodies like keys in locks.

The role of cannabinoids

Cannabinoids are called endocannabinoids when they are created from within. When they come from sources outside of the human body, they are known as phytocannabinoids. Phytocannabinoids and cannabinoids are often terms that are used interchangeably.

CBD is a cannabinoid beneficial to our wellbeing in many ways. It has many different therapeutic uses that help reduce anxiety, ease muscle tension and boost cell function. Many people have used CBD to help rejuvenate their bodies, enjoying its powerful, non-psychoactive effects.

Popular science informs us that out of over 100 known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, THC is one that interacts naturally with our euphoria. From stress reduction to introspection, the psychoactive qualities of THC allow busy minds to slow and bodies to relax.
