Science: How Cannabis(marijuana) Gets You High.
Cannabis affects the human body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a series of transmitters and receptors that help balance the body.
Cannabis is a complex plant with over 100 active compounds. THC and CBD are well-known in the cannabis community. THC is tetrahydrocannabinol and CBD is known as cannabinoids. CBD (Cannabidiol) does not produce a high but can moderate the effects of THC and has numerous therapeutic benefits, including reducing anxiety and inflammation. Conversely, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, can induce a high. When THC interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), it binds strongly to the body’s CB1 receptors, primarily located in the brain and nervous system, which are involved in managing pain, anxiety, and inflammation.
