How Cannabis Works in Your Body

Your Body naturally produces endocannabinoids, similar to hormones like dopamine and serotonin. Just as serotonin regulates mood and dopamine influences motivation, endocannabinoids help maintain balance (homeostasis) in areas like pain response, sleep, and immune function.

Common cannabis cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system, helping your body regulate various functions, much like serotonin-based medications affect serotonin receptors.
