Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids is a broad term used to describe chemical compounds that interact or bind to cannabinoid receptors. Different types of cannabinoids are produced naturally by humans and by cannabis plants, but they can also be manufactured.

Cannabinoids are a group of chemical compounds that bind to or interact with cannabinoid receptors within our bodies. Synthetic cannabinoids are manufactured in laboratories, whilst others naturally occur such as endocannabinoids, which are produced by our bodies, and phytocannabinoids which are found in plants such as cannabis.
