Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana and their endogenous counterparts, act on the brain and many other organs through the widely expressed CB1 cannabinoid receptor. In contrast, the CB2 cannabinoid receptor is abundant in the immune system and shows a restricted expression pattern in brain cells. CB2‐selective agonists are, therefore, very attractive therapeutic agents as they do not cause CB1‐mediated psychoactive effects. CB2 receptor expression in brain has been partially… CONTINUE READING
