Cannabinoids: These are chemical compounds found in marijuana that interact with receptors in our brain and body, producing various effects.
THC: THC is the primary psychoactive compound present in marijuana that binds to cannabinoid receptors, resulting in euphoria, relaxation, altered perception, and other effects.
Endocannabinoid System: This system consists of receptors located throughout our brain and body that interact with cannabinoids, including those produced naturally by our bodies (endocannabinoids) and those from external sources like marijuana.
