Cannabinoid science is the study of cannabinoids, which are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. The most well-known cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors and enzymes that play a crucial role in regulating physiological processes such as pain, mood, appetite and immune response. THC is primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, while CBD is non-psychoactive and is studied for its potential therapeutic properties. Cannabinoid research has shown promise in treating a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, epilepsy, anxiety and multiple sclerosis. Recent advancements in cannabinoid science have led to the development of synthetic cannabinoids and the exploration of their use in medical treatments. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of cannabinoids and the recent research in this field. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of cannabinoids, and its applications. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.
