Most know about cannabinoids from the marijuana plant. It is the most recognized cannabinoid aka tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the compound that causes feelings of euphoria.
Scientists identified cannabinoids only in cannabis. However, new research has found these same medicinal qualities in many plants, including black pepper, broccoli, carrots, clove, echinacea, and ginseng.
These vegetables or spices won’t get you high, but having an understanding of how these different plants affect the human body can lead to vital health discoveries.
