Understanding the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance in the body, including mood control, stress response, and modulation of neurotransmitter release. This system involves both naturally produced cannabinoids and external compounds like THC and CBD, which can bind to cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. The CNR1 gene codes for CB1 receptors, and genetic variations in this gene can impact individuals' sensitivity to cannabis effects, mood, and cognitive function.
