Your body absorbs cannabinoids via the so-called endocannabinoid system (ECS) according to the key-lock principle: The receptors of the ECS act as locks to which the cannabinoids can dock. Basically, there are two types of cannabinoid receptors: CB1 receptors, which are located in the nerve cells of the brain, and CB2 receptors, which are located in the cells of the immune system throughout the body.
