THE SPECTRUMS
THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a unique communications system that is very extensive and elaborate. It consists of three main components: endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors, and the enzymes that break the cannabinoids down. The ECS exists throughout our bodies. The role of the endocannabinoid system is to keep our bodies in a state of complete balance called homeostasis.
CANNABINOID RECEPTORS
The Endocannabinoid system is a network of cell receptors that responds to chemicals like THC, among others. These receptors are mostly found in the brain but also show in the immune cells, liver, and lungs.
