Medical marijuana is effective due to its use on the cannabinoid receptors in the body and brain. The human endocannabinoid system has receptor sites that bind a natural form of cannabidiol called Anandamide. Here, THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) and CBD bind to these receptor sites, giving positive health effects. Some researchers have called Anandamide the “bliss” chemical due to its positive effect on mood and sense of well-being. Relief of pain, anxiety, and many more positive effects can be felt by binding THC to the cannabinoid receptors throughout the body.
