Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that are found both in the body (endo- cannabinoids) and in the cannabis plant (phyto-cannabinoids). While THC and CBD are the most popular and most well researched cannabinoids, there are over 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, many of which have been shown to have specific benefits and effects.
Research has shown that cannabinoids are an integral part of our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is made up of receptors that interact with cannabinoids. These receptors have been found within the brain, central nervous system, reproductive organs, skin, digestive tract, and many other parts of the body. The main purpose of the ECS is to regulate homeostasis – a state of equilibrium throughout the mind and body. It’s no surprise that a deficiency in the ECS can impact a person’s physiological balance, which can result in pain, inflammation, mood issues, and many other ailments.
THC adds more than just the “high”. While THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is known for producing the “high” associated with cannabis use, it is also revered for its anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-nausea, and pain-relieving qualities. THC has been shown to help with PTSD, insomnia, arthritis, seizures, and severe pain.
CBD provides relief without the “high”. CBD (Cannabidiol) is the powerhouse non-intoxicating compound of the cannabis plant that has been shown to help with inflammation, pain, mood issues, and sleep. See our list of major cannabinoids.

Two of the most prevalent terpenoids are limonene and myrcene. Limonene, also found in citrus fruits, provides a rich, citrusy aroma and may help provide relief from inflammation and stress. Myrcene, also found in mangos and hops, provides an earthy, fruity aroma and may help with pain and sleep. See our list of major terpenoids.
