Cannabinoids are a group of chemicals that interact with cannabinoid receptors primarily found in the brain. They are naturally derived from the inflorescences of the plant Cannabis sativa, commonly known as marijuana or cannabis. The flower tops, leaves, and resin of the cannabis plant are used in various combinations to produce marijuana, hashish, charas, and ganja.

Cannabinoids are typically consumed through inhalation or oral ingestion. When consumed, they have known effects on the cardiovascular system of the body. These effects can vary depending on the specific cannabinoid and its concentration, as well as individual factors such as dosage, method of consumption, and individual tolerance.

It's important to note that the use of cannabinoids, particularly marijuana, for recreational or medicinal purposes is subject to legal regulations in many countries. The effects and potential risks associated with the use of cannabinoids can vary among individuals, and their use should be approached with caution and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
