There are basically two types of cannabinoids, phytocannabinoid, and endocannabinoids. Phytocannabinoids are produced in the trichomes of the cannabis plant, and endocannabinoids are produced in the body. Both act on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and bind to cannabinoid receptors. Phytocannabinoids have the ability to produce an intoxicating effect that endocannabinoids alone do not provide.
