What this page is

A list of body targets used in cannabinoid research, like receptors, channels, and enzymes.

How to use it

Use this when a page mentions CB1, CB2, TRPV1, FAAH, MAGL, or another biology term.

Important limit

A target effect is biology context. It is not the same as a proven human benefit.

Section Scope

Look up body targets used in cannabinoid research, including receptors, channels, and enzymes.

Best First Stops

Start with CB1, CB2, TRPV1 before moving into the full section index.

Interpretation Guardrail

Target activity is mechanistic context; it should not be read as a human-health conclusion without outcome evidence.
