Sections
Excerpt
Though often thought of as a singular substance, marijuana—or, more accurately, cannabis—consists of at least 100 phytochemicals with distinct chemical structures.

Since that time, much research has been done to uncover the substrates and neural systems associated with the endocannabinoid system.
