Any chemical or molecule that binds to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body and mimics the effects of the Cannabis sativa plant is referred to as a cannabinoid, regardless of origin or structure. Cannabinoids are thought to have fewer and milder adverse effects than many prescription medications, which makes them a potential replacement. The majority of natural goods, including cannabinoids, can produce adverse effects and may interact poorly with other medications. Don't make the mistake of believing, however, that "natural" products are immune from side effects. Your precise experiences will depend on the cannabis you're ingesting. There are three distinct cannabinoids.
