class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cannabinoids are <strong>chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant and are also produced by our body<\/strong>. These compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors distributed throughout our body that regulates essential functions such as mood, appetite, sleep, memory, and pain response.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main types of cannabinoids:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Phytocannabinoids:<\/strong> These are found in cannabis plants. The most well-known are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), but there are many others, such as CBN, CBG, and CBC.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Endocannabinoids:<\/strong> These are produced naturally by our body to regulate various physiological functions. The two most studied are anandamide and 2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%AD%90_Most_common_types_of_cannabinoids\"><\/span>\u2b50 Most common types of cannabinoids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although THC and CBD often receive all the attention, <strong>there are many more cannabinoids with interesting properties<\/strong>. Below, we present the most important ones:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_THC_Tetrahydrocannabinol\"><\/span>1. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>THC is the most well-known cannabinoid for being the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It is responsible for the &#8220;high&#8221; that many people associate with weed consumption. It works by binding to the CB1 receptors of the endocannabinoid system, which are primarily in the brain, producing effects such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Euphoria<\/strong>: A feeling of well-being or happiness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Altered sensory perception<\/strong>: Changes in the perception of time, colors, or sounds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased appetite<\/strong>: Commonly known as &#8220;the munchies.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain relief<\/strong>: THC is often used to treat chronic pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, it can also have <strong>side effects such as anxiety, paranoia, or tachycardia<\/strong>, especially at high doses. If you want to delve deeper into this, check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-thc\/\">article explaining what THC is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_CBD_Cannabidiol\"><\/span>2. CBD (Cannabidiol)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CBD is another very popular cannabinoid, <strong>known for its therapeutic effects without psychoactive properties<\/strong>. This means it does not get you high or alter perception. It has been extensively researched for its ability to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduce anxiety and stress<\/strong>: Often used as a natural alternative to anxiolytics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relieve pain and inflammation<\/strong>: Very effective in cases of arthritis and chronic pain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treat neurological disorders<\/strong>: Such as epilepsy, with Epidiolex being an approved medication based on CBD.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improve sleep<\/strong>: Especially useful for those suffering from anxiety-related insomnia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, CBD has a neuroprotective effect, meaning it could be useful for treating diseases like Alzheimer\u2019s or Parkinson\u2019s. <strong> cannabidiol is the cannabinoid with the most therapeutic properties<\/strong>, and if you want to know it better, you can&#8217;t miss this <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-the-cbd\/\">article titled What is CBD?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_CBN_Cannabinol\"><\/span>3. CBN (Cannabinol)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CBN is a cannabinoid that <strong>forms when THC breaks down over time or when exposed to heat<\/strong>. Although it is not psychoactive, it has sedative effects, so it is often used to treat insomnia. Some studies also suggest that CBN may have anti-inflammatory properties and be useful for treating chronic pain. <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-cbn-and-how-can-it-help-you\/\">Follow this link if you want to see a complete article discussing the CBN cannabinoid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_CBG_Cannabigerol\"><\/span>4. CBG (Cannabigerol)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CBG is known as the &#8220;<strong>mother cannabinoid&#8221; because both THC and CBD are synthesized from CBGA<\/strong> (cannabigerolic acid), its acidic form. Although it is present in small amounts in the cannabis plant, CBG has shown promising effects such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Antibacterial<\/strong>: It may be useful in fighting antibiotic-resistant infections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Neuroprotective<\/strong>: Similar to CBD, it may protect the nervous system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appetite stimulant<\/strong>: It has been researched as a potential treatment for appetite disorders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are curious and want to read more about cannabigerol, I recommend reading this <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-the-cbg\/\">article that explains in depth what CBG is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_CBC_Cannabichromene\"><\/span>5. CBC (Cannabichromene)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CBC is another <strong>non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has shown anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects<\/strong>. Additionally, it is believed to enhance the effects of other cannabinoids in what is known as the entourage effect, where various compounds from cannabis work together to increase their efficacy.

The CB1 and CB2 receptors are the main ones in this system. CB1 receptors are primarily in the brain and are responsible for the psychoactive effects (such as those produced by THC). CB2 receptors are found in greater numbers in the immune system and are key in regulating inflammation and pain. Cannabinoids bind to or modulate these receptors to help regulate functions such as pain, appetite, sleep, and mood.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_cannabinoid_terpenes\"><\/span>What are cannabinoid terpenes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis plants and other plant species. Although they are not cannabinoids, they interact with them in what is known as the entourage effect, enhancing and modulating the therapeutic and psychoactive effects of cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Each terpene has its own effects; for example, myrcene is relaxing, while limonene can improve mood. The combination of terpenes and cannabinoids can influence the overall consumption experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_cannabinoids_lower_blood_pressure\"><\/span>Do cannabinoids lower blood pressure?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some studies suggest that certain cannabinoids, especially CBD, may help lower blood pressure in stressful situations. CBD has relaxing and anxiolytic properties that can decrease heart rate and blood pressure. However, THC, at high doses, can temporarily increase heart rate, which may elevate blood pressure in some users. It is important to consult a doctor before using cannabinoids if you have cardiovascular issues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_cannabinoids_kill_cancer_cells\"><\/span>Do cannabinoids kill cancer cells?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some preliminary studies in the lab and in animals have shown that certain cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, have the ability to induce cancer cell death (apoptosis) and slow tumor growth. However, this research is in early stages, and there is no conclusive evidence that cannabinoids can cure cancer in humans. Cannabinoids are used to help manage cancer symptoms, such as pain, nausea, and appetite loss, especially during chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_synthetic_cannabinoids_made\"><\/span>How are synthetic cannabinoids made?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Synthetic cannabinoids are created in laboratories using chemical processes that mimic the structure and function of natural cannabinoids like THC or CBD. Scientists modify the chemical structure of cannabinoids to create more potent compounds or to investigate specific effects. These cannabinoids are not extracted from the cannabis plant but are synthesized from other chemicals. Some of these cannabinoids are used in medicine, while others have been produced for illegal recreational purposes, such as in products known as &#8220;Spice&#8221; or &#8220;K2&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_cannabinoids_are_there\"><\/span>How many cannabinoids are there?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So far, over 100 cannabinoids have been identified in the cannabis plant. Some of the most well-known are THC, CBD, CBN (cannabinol), CBG (cannabigerol), and CBC (cannabichromene). Each of these cannabinoids has different effects and therapeutic properties. In addition to these natural cannabinoids, there are numerous synthetic cannabinoids created in laboratories for scientific research and medical treatments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_cannabinoids_do_in_the_body\"><\/span>What do cannabinoids do in the body?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cannabinoids regulate various physiological functions in the body through their interaction with the endocannabinoid system. Depending on the type of cannabinoid, they can help reduce pain, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea. They can also improve sleep, increase appetite, and regulate mood. Psychoactive cannabinoids, such as THC, alter perception and behavior, while others like CBD have therapeutic effects without altering mental state.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_cannabinoids_are_psychoactive\"><\/span>Which cannabinoids are psychoactive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The main psychoactive cannabinoid is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the euphoric effects, altered perception, and &#8220;high&#8221; associated with weed consumption. Other cannabinoids, such as THCV and Delta-8 THC, are also psychoactive, although to a lesser extent than THC. On the other hand, cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBC are not psychoactive, meaning they do not alter perception or produce &#8220;high&#8221; effects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pfbrown\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%9A%A6_Sources\"><\/span>\ud83d\udea6 Sources:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789241510240\">World Health Organization: The Health Effects of Cannabis<\/a><\/li>\n<li>National Institutes of Health: Cannabinoids and the Brain<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/public-health-focus\/fda-and-cannabis-research-and-drug-approval-process\">FDA: Epidiolex and Cannabidiol Research<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/espanol\/cancer\/tratamiento\/mca\/pro\/cannabis-pdq\">NIH: Cannabis and cannabinoids<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seic.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/guiab%C3%A1sicacannab.pdf\">Spanish Society for Cannabinoid Research: Basic Guide to Cannabinoids<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_in_English\"><\/span>Video in English:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FKLPtZTWwL0?si=gBEnz5NmgiOAFnff\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HHC vs Delta 8: Two distinct cannabinoids with many similarities Learn about cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome &nbsp; &nbsp; The interest in cannabis has grown exponentially in recent years, largely due to research on cannabinoids, the chemical compounds present in this plant &#8230; <a title=\"What are cannabinoids and what are their properties?\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/en\/what-are-cannabinoids-and-what-are-their-properties\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about What are cannabinoids and what are their properties?\">Leer m\u00e1s<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":73705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","_yoast_wpseo_title":"Cannabinoids | What are they and How do they work?
