Mechanism of action
The oil's active cannabinoids bind to CB1 receptors in the brain and CB2 receptors in immune cells and peripheral tissues, modulating neurotransmitter release and immune function. This produces analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and antiemetic effects. The specific therapeutic profile depends on the THC:CBD ratio and individual cannabinoid composition.
