Cannabinoid
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that are produced by the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids interact with the human body's receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain and cause certain effects. There are over 80 different cannabinoids (and some say over 100). The most common and well-examined are THC (which is psychoactive) and CBD (which is non-psychoactive).
Capsules
Sunflower or coconut oil can be infused with cannabinoids and terpenes. These capsules are then consumed orally.
