Cannabinoids are one of the most diverse classes of chemical compounds. These compounds act as cannabinoid receptors in the brain altering the neurotransmitter function.
Cannabis is also called as marijuana. It is a psychoactive drug and is used for recreational purposes. Cannabis also causes an alteration in the conscious perception, increased libido, and distortions between space and time.
Phytocannabinoids are the cannabinoids that are acquired from the cannabis plant naturally. They also occur in several other plant species. Some of them are Echinacea pupurea and Echinacea angustifolia.
Tetrahydrocannabinol or the Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol is a pharmaceutical. It is abbreviated as THC. It is one amongst the cannabinoids and is a principal psychoactive constituent.
Marijuana is also called as the cannabis. It is a psychoactive drugs used for recreational purposes.
Dabs are also called as the butane hash oil. They are more powerful than the usual conventional forms of marijuana. They have a much higher concentration of THC. Dabbing is the heating and slow inhalation of a drug.
