Cannabis cannabinoids and Terpenes are chemical compounds found in cannabis. They are produced by the active ingredients of cannabis plants. The presence of one of these compounds in the plant is what gives it its mind-altering effects (THC).
Cannabis can contain over 400 different compounds, but cannabinoids are one of the most common compounds that make up the plant. Cannabinoids include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), as well as CBN, CBG, and CBC.
THC is by far the most well-known cannabinoid, and it’s responsible for many of marijuana’s psychoactive effects. THC is found in both hemp and marijuana plants, but it’s only present in high levels in marijuana plants—it not as pronounced in hemp plants.
The other cannabinoid with psychoactive effects is CBD. It has very little impact on your mind or body when consumed alone, and studies have shown that it doesn’t cause any noticeable changes to your mental state when taken alongside THC (or other cannabinoids).
Cannabis cannabinoids are the chemicals in cannabis that are responsible for its medicinal effects. These three components have been used to treat a variety of health problems, including pain, anxiety, stress, inflammation, insomnia, and food disorders to name a few.
The Health Benefits of Cannabis Cannabinoids and Terpenes Include:
* Pain relief, including joint pain and menstrual cramps
* Analgesic properties that make it useful for treating insomnia, muscle spasms and anxiety disorders
* Anti-inflammatory effects that may reduce swelling in HIV patients with rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease
* Antioxidant properties that may prevent cancer cells from growing
* Ability to block cell growth by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2), which is involved in inflammation and cancer development.
Cannabis has been used for thousands of years as a treatment for a wide range of ailments, including pain relief and nausea. But what exactly is happening in the brain when someone uses cannabis?
When you use cannabis, your brain releases dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that signals to your body that you are having an enjoyable experience. This is why people who are depressed often feel better after using cannabis—it makes them feel happy. It turns out that this same effect happens in patients with Parkinson’s disease, which is caused by a lack of dopamine in the brain. As a result, cannabis can help relieve symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease like tremors and shaking. ( I have seen this in several Youtube Videos…an amazing transformation)!

But There’s More Going on in Your Brain Than Just Feeling Good!
Cannabis also affects how your body functions at a cellular level. For example, it can help reduce inflammation by reducing cytokine production from immune cells called macrophages (which play an important role in fighting off infections). This helps reduce pain caused by inflammation and helps improve your ability to heal from injuries and other injuries related to inflammation such as arthritis or sprains and strains.
Conclusion
Cannabis is more then just a recreational drug that folks abuse. It is a very potent medicine and can treat a whole host of ailments. And without the side effects of so many drugs on the market. Cannabis really is a panacea, and does so much more good then harm!
