A substance from a group of compounds that activate the cannabinoid receptor sites within the human body. These receptors predominantly influence the nervous system, encompassing the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, as well as the immune system, which aids in combating diseases and infections. Cannabinoids can be categorized into three groups: endocannabinoids (naturally produced within the body), phytocannabinoids (found in plants), including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive element in cannabis, and synthetic cannabinoids (artificially created in a laboratory).<\/p>\n
