Glossary of Terms

endocannabinoid

Both cannabis plants and people have chemical compounds in our systems called cannabinoids. In humans, they’re called endocannabinoids (in plants, they’re phytocannabinoids)

Endocannabinoids interact with our
endocannabinoid system, binding to cannabinoid receptors all over our bodies to help regulate stress recovery, nervous system protection, immune system response and homeostatic balance (our overall condition of optimal health and stability).
