What is the Endocannabinoid System?

In the 1990s, scientists came across this complex unit present in almost all organs (Yes, there are countless Endocannabinoid Systems all over your body). Together, the systems form the Network of Endocannabinoid Systems. 

According to scientists, the Network of Endocannabinoid System is responsible for several bodily functions like sleep, memory, appetite, and pain sensation. It also affects other crucial systems like immune response and the reproductive system. They also added that the Network of Endocannabinoid System helps the body achieve homeostasis (A steady and balanced state of external and internal conditions necessary for survival).

What are Endocannabinoids?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a unique natural compound in cannabis plants like Marijuana and Hemp. On the other hand, Endocannabinoids are molecules present in mammalian bodies. It's safe to say they perform similar functions in both organisms. In human beings, Endocannabinoids are responsible for transmitting signals from their respective organs to the central nervous system (They are neurotransmitters of some sort).

Simply put, Cannabidiol and Endocannabinoids even share the same structure. In plants, we call them phytocannabinoids. In animals, we refer to them as endocannabinoids.

What are Endocannabinoid Receptors?

You can think of them as "docking stations" that receive and transport endocannabinoids. They are present in all organs across the human body. Specifically, they are located in cell membranes for better reception. Scientists even believe that endocannabinoid receptors are the most abundant of all receptor systems.

So far, we know of two types of endocannabinoid receptors:

CB1 Receptors: These are predominant in the brain. Nonetheless, you'll also find them in other organs like the lungs, kidneys, and liver. CB1 receptors are actually the most abundant receptors in the human brain responsible for most activities—This explains CBD’s effect on pain, motor control, mood, and cognitive ability.

CB2 Receptors: These are almost exclusively found in the immune tissues. As you might have guessed, they significantly impact the body’s immune system—It's why most experts and users believe in CBD's anti-inflammatory effects.

What are Endocannabinoid Enzymes?

As you might have guessed, they are responsible for breaking down cannabinoids once they have performed their function. Endocannabinoid enzymes help keep the system fresh and functional.

There are two main types of endocannabinoid enzymes:

• Fatty acid amide hydrolase.
• Monoacylglycerol acid lipase.

How does CBD interact with the Endocannabinoid System?

As mentioned earlier, scientists believe CBD has a similar structure and function as our endocannabinoids. Therefore, when we consume CBD products, we supply our bodies with more neurotransmitters—This significantly boosts other bodily functions and helps us achieve homeostasis. On top of that, other studies believe that CBD helps prevent endocannabinoid breakdown. That way, they can work longer.

Note: More clinical research is still pending. Since it's a relatively new system, scientists still aren't 100% sure how CBD affects the Network of Endocannabinoid System. Most of the data today comes from the little research we've done and the millions of testimonials by enthusiastic CBD users. However, as CBD popularises, experts will invest more time and money into its research and understanding.

If there is one thing we know about CBD, it's the differing effects from THC. Cannabidiol (CBD) doesn't cause highness. Therefore, it doesn't trigger any addictive tendencies. Neither will it deter your day-to-day function.
