Whilst they may have been first isolated in cannabis plants, <strong>cannabinoids and other similar compounds can also be found in black pepper, carrots, echinacea, green tea, and dozens of other plants.<\/strong> Cacao beans produce a type of cannabinoid that the body itself also produces, called anandamide.

These compounds are often mixed up or conflated, despite their uses being vastly different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THC is a psycho-active drug that produces the high most people associate with cannabis, and is responsible for much of the stigma that cannabinoids face. <strong>CBD,<\/strong> on the other hand, is not intoxicating at regular doses and <strong>has a multitude of therapeutic benefits, including improving skin quality, mood regulation, pain relief, and protection against neurological diseases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, remember &#8211; next time you use CBD oil, it may not have come from a cannabis plant!
