Endocannabinoids
Endocannabinoids are endogeneous lipid based neutrotransmitters. These molecules act on cannabinoid receptors within the central and peripheral nervous systems and are thought to help regulate both physiological and cognitive processes. The mimetic molecule THC also interacts with the same system in the body. Research into this system is still young.
