Phytocannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant. They interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes, including mood, pain, and appetite. The most well-known phytocannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), each having distinct effects on the body. These compounds can be extracted from the cannabis plant and used in various forms, such as oils, edibles, and topicals. Research into phytocannabinoids is ongoing, as scientists explore their potential therapeutic benefits for conditions like chronic pain, anxiety, and epilepsy.
