What is the Endocannabinoid System?

The endocannabinoid system is part of the body’s immune system and is a communication mechanism geared to maintaining homeostasis, driven by our own internally produced cannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors. It might be the most important system on the physiological level for creating and maintaining human health. The endocannabinoid system is involved in regulating practically every biological function including appetite, sleep, memory, reproduction, mood, sexual arousal, the immune system, and cell growth. Endocannabinoids and their corresponding receiptors are found extensively throughout the human body. They are mainly concentrated in the brain, organs, glands, connective tissues, and immune cells. 

How Does CBD Work?

CBD, CBN, and THC fit like a lock and key into existing human receptors. These receptors are of the endocannabinoid system which impacts physiological processes affecting pain modulation, memory, and appetite plus anti-inflammatory effects and other immune system responses. The endocannabinoid system comprises two types of receptors, CB₁ and CB₂, which serve distinct functions in human health and well-being.

• CB₁ receptors are primarily found in the brain and central nervous system, and to a lesser extent in other tissues.
• CBD does not directly “fit” CB₁ or CB₂ receptors but has powerful indirect effects still being studied.
• CB₂ receptors are mostly in the peripheral organs especially cells associated with the immune system.
