The endocannabinoid system is found in the brain, and its job is to keep our body in balance.

It controls everything from appetite to sleep, inflammation to pain and much more.

But unfortunately, cannabis overwhelms the endocannabinoid system when someone takes on a joint, locking on to cannabinoid receptors and stopping their ability to communicate amongst neurons.

7 New Cannabinoids

The two most commonly examined cannabinoids are THC and CBD, both used in cancer treatments, AIDS patients, and MS to PTSD patients.

In addition, it can treat insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

Be careful, though, because it can also do the opposite of people using it for medicinal values.

There are 100’s known cannabinoids in the brain and the cannabis plant.

Here is a look at some of the newer researched cannabinoids:

CBN

CBN is created when THC ages.

Therefore, it’s common in older cannabis plants.

As of now, there is minimal research into CBN, but studies have shown it has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial that can act as a neuroprotectant.

Delta-8-THC

Known to produce the euphoria of delta-9 and cause the paranoia effects cannabis may make, delta-8 remains in legal limbo.

However, in early studies, it is shown to have anti-anxiety properties.

CBC

Beginning studies propose that nonintoxicating cannabichromene (CBC) can block inflammation and pain and treat acne, depression, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers.

CBG

This is the first cannabinoid to form in the cannabinoid system, and it communicates with enzymes to create CBD and THC, “Think of CBG as the lifeblood of the cannabinoids spectrum” – John Nathan.

CBDV

Is non-psychotropic cannabidivarin (CBDV) structurally comparable to CBD?

Early research suggests it’s helpful to stop seizures from epilepsy and similar disorders, and it might help treat people’s conditions on the autism spectrum.
