The chemical compounds found in a cannabis plant, also known as marijuana, pot or weed are called cannabinoids. These chemical compounds are secreted by the cannabis flower and examples of these chemicals are THC and CBD. These chemicals have a variety of medicinal benefits for nausea, inflammation, neurological, pain and other medical symptoms. When cannabis is consumed, cannabinoids bind to receptor sites throughout our brain (receptors called CB-1) and body (CB-2). Different cannabinoids have different effects depending on which receptors they bind to. For example, THC binds to receptors in the brain whereas CBN (cannabinol) has a strong affinity for CB-2 receptors located throughout the body. By aiming the right cannabinoid at the right receptors, different types of relief are achievable. The Evergreen Market sells a variety of products that are either only THC or THC and CBD combination. Our products include flower, concentrates, edibles and topicals.
