Is Nabilone a natural or synthetic drug?
Nabilone is a synthetic drug, meaning that it is made in a laboratory rather than being extracted from a natural source.
Nabilone is a synthetic cannabinoid that mimics the effects of the naturally occurring cannabinoid THC.
How does Nabilone work?
Nabilone works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the body, which is responsible for regulating homeostasis (balance) and various physiological processes such as pain, mood, appetite, and nausea. It binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, reducing the sensation of nausea and vomiting.
