Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are compounds found in cannabis plants. These compounds bind to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and produce a wide range of physical and behavioral effects. Over 100 types of cannabinoids have been isolated from cannabis, the most notable of which is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis.
