The Endocannabinoid System

The Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological megabet network in the human body. It consists of receptors, enzymes, and natural cannabinoids produced by the body. The ECS helps regulate balance in functions such as sleep, mood, appetite, and immune response. When cannabis is consumed, plant cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with this system. THC binds strongly with receptors, causing psychoactive effects, while CBD influences the ECS differently, often with calming results. The discovery of the ECS explains why cannabis has such wide-ranging effects. It is now a major focus for medical and scientific research.
