People love cannabis. More specifically, they love the effect cannabis has on them.

When we talk about the effects of a cannabis strain, we usually first refer to the plant’s psychoactive properties — its ability to make us feel intoxicated.

This intoxicating effect is caused by THC, a chemical compound known as a cannabinoid which interacts directly with the body’s endocannabinoid system.

Of course, THC does more than just make you feel euphoric. It can also be used to treat pain, inflammation, insomnia, and more.
