Cannabinoids are very interesting. They're naturally occurring in both plants and animals and researches believe the Endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a very large role in homeostasis. Cannabinoids have even been shown to induce apoptosis (essentially reversing cancer cell growth).
Within different strains of marijuana you get different ratios of different cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBN, etc.) and the self-medicators have discovered that these different ratios are good for treating different ailments.
I'm a firm believer that all cannabinoids need to be fully legal (and the cannabis plant material) so they can be studied in greater detail. I believe one day we'll see cannabinoids in our daily vitamin and mineral supplements (probably not the intoxicating kind though).
