The cannabis plant contains more than 545 different natural compounds and 113 (the majority) are cannabinoids1.
Their chemical structure is similar to the substances that our brains produce naturally: endocannabinoids. These play multiple roles in our body, especially motor control and cognitive function.
THC and CBD are known as the “major” cannabinoids because they are present in the highest quantity in the plant. However, there are hundreds of “minor” cannabinoids, « mineurs », such as CBG (cannabigerol) or CBN (cannabinol).
Explore the major cannabinoids (THC and CBD), their effects on the body, tips for how to choose between products, and more.
Discover minor cannabinoids (CBN, CBC, CBG, etc.) and their potential effects based on the most recent scientific studies.
