Body Lab · The endocannabinoid system

Follow THC from a joint or an edible through the body, then zoom into one synapse: how the body’s own cannabinoids work there, what THC changes, and how other cannabinoids and compounds act on the system. The receptor map shows where CB1 and CB2 are found, and the Receptors view shows them as solved in published structures. The Cancer cells view shows the four ways cannabinoids act on cancer cells in lab studies, the Inflammation view shows how they dampen inflammation and what that could mean for symptoms and diseases, the Neuroprotection view shows how they protect nerve cells in the lab, and the Motor control view shows seizures, MS stiffness and Parkinson’s, and what the trials found. Every line has its sources.
