| Cannabinoid Treatment |
Medicinal properties in the cannabis plant come from cannabinoids.
At least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated in the plant.
The most researched cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC), cannabidiol
(CBD) and cannabinol (CBN).(Source)
Marijuana users get excited to see a sticky white resin on the flower
buds because they contain most of the cannabinoids. They are
produced from glandular hairs (trichomes) on the flower.
Cannabinoids imitate naturally produced endocannabinoids in our body
that maintain health.(Source)
