Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants in the Cannabaceae family, related to hops and, more distantly, roses. Cannabis can be used for an incredible range of products from paper to medicine.

Terpenes are fragrant, organic oils found in a variety of plants like rosemary, lavender, and even pine trees. Terpenes contribute to the healthful benefits of cannabis plants. There are more than 200 known terpenes, each with a different profile and set of effects. Like cannabinoids, terpenes bind to the endocannabinoid system throughout the brain and body to deliver unique qualities and effects.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a network of receptors in the human body that bind with cannabinoids. Two different receptors have been identified, CB1 and CB2, which help regulate various biological processes such as brain cell activity and the immune system’s inflammatory response.
“Cannabinoids” is a proper name for the compounds found in the cannabis plant. There are over 113 different cannabinoids naturally occurring in cannabis, with different healthful and beneficial properties. The two primary cannabinoids produced by cannabis are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Cannabinoid receptors are a part of the endocannabinoid system, which regulates physiological processes. CB1 receptors are primarily found in the brain and central nervous system, as well as other parts of the body.
