Cannabinoids are natural compounds found in hemp and other plants. They play a key role in the beneficial effects of CBD, whether for relaxation, stress management, or sleep. At L'Herbe Enchantée , we carefully cultivate our products to preserve these precious molecules. Discover everything you need to know about cannabinoids and their importance in the CBD experience.
What is a cannabinoid?
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds produced by the hemp plant. They interact with our body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors that regulates essential functions such as mood, sleep, appetite, and pain. The two most well-known cannabinoids are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), but there are over 100 others, each with unique properties.
The main cannabinoids and their effects
Here are some of the most studied cannabinoids and their benefits:
- CBD (Cannabidiol) : Non-psychoactive, it is known for its relaxing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-stress properties. Discover our CBD oil to enjoy its benefits.
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) : Psychoactive, it is responsible for the euphoric effects of cannabis. It is present in very small quantities in legal CBD products.
- CBG (Cannabigerol) : Often referred to as the "mother cannabinoid," it is a precursor to CBD and THC. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
- CBN (Cannabinol) : Known for its sedative effects, it is often used to promote sleep.
- CBC (Cannabichromene) : Non-psychoactive, it is studied for its antidepressant and anti-inflammatory effects.
The Entourage Effect: The Synergy of Cannabinoids
The entourage effect is a phenomenon where cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds in hemp work together to amplify their effects. For example, CBD and CBG can complement each other to provide deeper relaxation, while CBN and myrcene (a terpene) can improve sleep quality. That's why our products, like Zombie Kush , are designed to preserve this natural synergy.
