A few of these names also meet the body's cannabinoid receptors. CB1 is the receptor in nerves. CB2 is the one on immune cells. THC is a partial agonist at both, and the CB1 fit is the one tied to intoxication. CBD barely sits in the main CB1 pocket. CBN is a weak CB1 partial agonist. CBG binds both only weakly. The minor names on this list do not have a published receptor profile. Binding is a chemistry note, not a use.
