Plant Cannabinoids Are Made From Cannabinoid Acids

CBG (Cannabigerol)

THC (Δ9–tetrahydrocannabinol)

CBD (Cannabidiol)

CBC (Cannabichromene)

CBGV (Cannabigerivarin)

THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)

CBDV (Cannabidivarin)

CBCV (Cannabichromevarin)

Answer 2

Answer:

Cannabinoids (/kəˈnæbənɔɪdzˌ ˈkænəbənɔɪdz/) are compounds found in cannabis. The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (Delta9-THC or Delta8-THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another major constituent of the plant

Explanation:

Cannabinoids : These are a group of chemicals obtained from Indian temp. plant cannabis sativa (varnacular name Ganjai mokka). They interact with cannabinoid receptors present in the brain.

These daufs, cannabinoids are being abused by even some sports - persons (doping). 

Function: In general, cannabinoids function like a “dimmer switch” for presynaptic neurons, limiting the amount of neurotransmitter (e.g., dopamine) that gets released, which in turn affects how messages are sent, received, and processed by the cell.

Mode of abuse : These are genarally taken by inhalation and oral ingestion. 

Effect : Show their effects on cardiovascular system of the body

 Types of cannabinoids : At least 113 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the Cannabis plant To the right, the main classes of cannabinoids from Cannabis are shown. The best studied cannabinoids include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) .
