Structurally cannabinoids resemble natural endocannabinoids which are compounds our bodies produce to balance and control communication between cells as well as promote cellular health. Emerging research suggests unpleasant symptoms and disease occur when a deficiency or other problems impact the endocannabinoid system (eCS). The primary function of the eCS is to maintain homeostasis, allowing cells to communicate with each other and their external environment to facilitate whatever needs to be done to return to homeostasis.

The primary and most well-known receptor interactions are between CB1 receptors and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are present throughout the body, but many concentrated in the brain and central nervous system. The CB1 receptors in the brain impact with coordination and movement, pain, reward/addiction, memory, mood, appetite, learning/memory and sleep. CB2 receptors are more common in the peripheral immune system and regulate chronic pain, neurodegenerative disease, allergic and autoimmune inflammatory diseases, osteoporosis, weight gain and stress response.  

When cannabinoids (CBD) binds to these receptors, the receptors do more or less of what they were doing. Inflammation (chronic pain) is a common causes of discomfort; when cannabinoids (like CBD)  interacts with CB2 receptors it’s been reported anecdotally and through preclinical research to reduce the inflammatory response. Emerging research is also assessing the interactions with CB2 receptors on cancer cells by initiating apoptosis (biochemical sequence of events that results in cell death.
