Cannabinoids are the natural compounds in cannabis that make it work its magic. They interact with your body's endocannabinoid system (yes, that's a real thing), which helps regulate mood, pain, appetite, and more.
Different cannabinoids do different things - THC is the one that gets you high, while CBD is all about relaxation without the buzz. Understanding how they work can help you figure out which products fit your needs best.
We’ve got a great selection of cannabis products that harness the power of cannabinoids. Whether you're into flower, concentrates, or edibles, we’ve got premium options designed for the best experience. We’ve been doing this since 2018, growing and distributing quality cannabis straight to your community right here in Oregon.
Overview of Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are the active ingredients in cannabis. They interact with your body in ways that can influence everything from stress to sleep. Let's break it down.
Cannabinoids are the chemical compounds in cannabis responsible for its effects. There are over 100 of them, but THC and CBD are the rockstars.
They come from tiny, resin-producing structures on the plant called trichomes. Once in your body, cannabinoids latch onto receptors and trigger various effects.
There are three main categories:
Each type plays a different role in how cannabis interacts with your body.
Think of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) as your body's natural balance-keeper. It has two main receptors:
Biosynthesis of Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids don’t just appear out of nowhere—they're made through specific chemical processes in the plant.
The starting point is CBGA (cannabigerolic acid), known as the "mother cannabinoid." It eventually turns into THC, CBD, or CBC through natural enzyme reactions.
Different enzymes determine what CBGA turns into:
We rely on these natural processes to grow top-quality cannabis.
Pharmacology of Cannabinoids
How do cannabinoids work in your body? Let’s break it down.
Cannabinoids influence your body by binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors.
This is a fancy way of saying how cannabinoids move through your body.
Your liver processes cannabinoids before they exit through urine and feces.
Ongoing research keeps revealing new ways cannabinoids can support health.
Cannabinoids in Medicine
More people are turning to cannabinoids for health and wellness. Here’s why.
Many places allow cannabis for medical use to help with conditions like chronic pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms.
Our products are lab-tested and federally compliant, so you know you’re getting safe, effective cannabis.
Research is looking into cannabinoids for conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The idea? Reduce inflammation and protect brain cells.
Legal and Social Considerations
Laws and attitudes toward cannabis are constantly shifting. Here’s what you need to know.
Cannabis laws vary widely. Some places allow full recreational use (like Oregon), while others still have strict bans. Medical cannabis users often need a prescription.
Attitudes toward cannabis depend on culture and education. As more people recognize its benefits, stigma is decreasing. Plus, the industry is creating jobs and boosting local economies.
Cannabis businesses deal with constantly changing rules, from licensing to lab testing. Staying compliant is key for companies to keep providing high-quality, legal products.
Industrial and Commercial Uses
Beyond smoking or edibles, cannabinoids have a ton of uses.
CBD is huge in skincare. Lotions, balms, and oils with cannabinoids can help with inflammation, hydration, and relaxation.
Research and Development
Cannabinoids are a hot topic in science right now.
Research is looking into how cannabinoids affect pain, epilepsy, anxiety, and more. Scientists are testing the best dosages and potential medical applications.
Potential new uses for cannabinoids include mental health treatments, immune system support, and neuroprotection.
We support ongoing research by offering high-quality cannabis products for study and development.
