The human body has cannabinoid receptors that help the compounds produce many effects, including pain relief, euphoria, and appetite. There are between 85 and 113 known and suspected cannabinoids present in cannabis, each having various effects on the body. Cannabinoids are separated by various subclasses, including cannabigerols (CBGs), Cannabichromenes (CBCs), Cannabidiols (CBDs), tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs), Cannabinol (CBN), cannabinodiol (CBDL), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabielsoin (CBE), cannabitriol (CBT), and other types in small amounts. The most abundant cannabinoid is CBD, which is believed to have anti-anxiety effects as well as long term pain management. CBDs are not known to produce any psychological effects at all, whereas THC, CBN, CBDL and some other cannabinoids produce some psychological effects, to varying degrees and intensities. CBDs are easily separated from the full cannabinoid spectrum and are thus experienceing widespread legalization across the globe as their healing effects and lack of “high” have become more widely accepted.
