What are cannabinoids and how do they work?
Depending on the variety, cannabis plants contain different cannabinoid profiles. There are at least 115 different cannabinoids that have been identified and isolated from different cannabis varieties to date. The two best known are THC & CBD. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that activate the cannabinoid receptors in our body. Phytocannabinoids are the natural forms of these chemicals. They are found in high concentrations in the female cannabis flowers - more precisely in the résin glands on the surface of the flower.

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol [also known as Delta-9-THC, D9-THC or simply, THC] is a neutral cannabinoid known for its psychoactive effect. That is why it is on the list of narcotics in many countries. One of the most important discoveries - made by THC - is the existence of the endocannabinoid system in vertebrates (inc. humans). THC is believed to interact with parts of the brain.

The ideal THC-CBD ratio varies from patient to patient & depends strongly on which condition or symptom is treated. Normally controlled by the endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter anandamide. THC is effective in the treatment of a variety of conditions and disorders, including pain; tumors, nausea and ADHD.
