=== Endocannabinoids ===
 
Human cells may have either of 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB<sub>1</sub>]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB<sub>2</sub>]]. These receptors are present also in cells far away from the brain.

Endocannabinoids are produced by our own bodies.

Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, [[w:THC|THC]] and [[w:Cannabidiol|CBD]].  
THC is produced from the raw [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|THCA]] by a process called de-carboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.
THC is the psychoactive compound that brings the 'high' most recreational users are chasing but CBD has the most medical applications.
