There are over 113 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBN, CBG, CBC) work by binding to the cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) in the body.<\/span><\/p>\n Sources Consulted<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lannotti FA, Di Marzo V, Petrosino S.

When used, either through ingestion or inhalation, it binds to specific receptors in the brain called cannabinoid receptors. THC is responsible for those legendary psychoactive feelings. When taken at an effective dose based on an individual\u2019s specific needs, THC has shown to be beneficial in reducing pain and nausea along with stimulating appetite.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;”][et_pb_blurb title=”TCHa” image=”https:\/\/my-ilera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/THCa.svg” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_font_size=”43px” body_text_color=”#000000″ custom_css_blurb_image=”position:absolute;||max-width:120px;||right:0;”]Tetrahydrocannabinol-A<\/em><\/p>\n THCa is the non-activated form of THC.

While delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the major active ingredient in marijuana, cannabidiol can be up to 40% of the plant\u2019s extract, and can be obtained from both cannabis and hemp. CBD is most commonly used for seizure disorder (epilepsy). It is also increasingly used for anxiety, pain, dystonia, Parkinson disease, Crohn\u2019s disease and many other conditions, but scientific evidence for these uses is still too early to be definitive.\n<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1130px” custom_padding=”47px||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;”][et_pb_blurb title=”CBG” image=”https:\/\/my-ilera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CBG.svg” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_font_size=”43px” body_text_color=”#000000″ custom_css_blurb_image=”position:absolute;||max-width:60%;||right:0;”]<\/p>\n Cannabigerol<\/em><\/p>\n CBG is thought to boost anandamide, an endocannabinoid that naturally increases dopamine levels and responsible for regulating various health functions such as mood, sleep, and appetite.

CBC is also a descendant of CBG, which acts a chemical precursor to these three major cannabinoids. CBC may work most effectively when paired with other cannabinoids and terpenes to maximize the whole plant medicinal spectrum cannabis potentially offers.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text admin_label=”H2 Heading” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”45px” header_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_line_height=”1.1em” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||32px||false|false” custom_padding=”39px|||||” hover_enabled=”0″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We improve the quality of life for our patients by providing unique medical marijuana products, tinctures, and topicals solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1087,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"\r\n This is an example page.
