Have you ever wondered how cannabis actually works in your body? In our latest video, How Cannabis Interacts with the Endocannabinoid System, Jess from Central Ave Compassionate Care explores the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)—a vital internal network that helps regulate essential functions like mood, stress, appetite, and sleep. The ECS includes two primary receptors: CB1, found in the brain and central nervous system, and CB2, located in the immune system and peripheral nerves.
Cannabis interacts with this system in powerful ways. Compounds like THC, CBD, and CBN bind to or influence these receptors, helping to support balance and overall well-being. At Central Ave, we offer a variety of cannabis products designed to target different aspects of your wellness journey. Whether you’re new to cannabis or looking to deepen your understanding, this video is a must-watch.

Hey guys, it’s Jess at Central Ave, I’m here to talk about the Endocannabinoid System, a complex signal system in your body that regulates mood, appetite, stress, and sleep.
It’s made up of two receptors; the CB1 receptor that’s neurological, and the CB2 receptor that’s in your immune system and your nervous system.
Cannabis directly affects the Endocannabinoid System by connecting to CB1 receptors and influencing CB2 receptors.
Think of cannabis as a traffic cop for the Endocannabinoid System, better-directing sleep, memory, and appetite in your body.
There are a large amount of cannabinoids in cannabis and we have tons of products here at Central Ave that can help influence different parts of your wellness journey, such as CBN, CBD, and THC.
