The reason cannabidiol (CBD) has so many reported benefits in humans is because we are all born with cannabinoid receptors found throughout our entire body. Human bodies have actually been created with the ability to absorb and use cannabinoids in order to support optimal health. The main receptors, called CB1 and CB2 receptors are designed to bind and interact with cannabinoids, resulting in the active compounds in cannabis to be extremely well absorbed and desired by our bodies. Aside from cannabis, there are other plant-based foods such as chocolate and black pepper that contain cannabinoids, as well as the small amounts our bodies naturally produce.
