But the point is our bodies and our brains already have the receptors in place to interact with cannabinoids. The thing is, cannabinoids like THC are way more powerful than the ones our bodies make.

You're referring to indica and sativa? Yes, of course I am. And you are right. The two main strands of cannabis are sativa and indica. There's actually also a strain called ruderalis, but it's so seldomly used that we're just going to skip it. Sativa and indica give different highs because they interact with our brains differently. Let's start with sativa.

Sativa is a mood elevator and makes people talkative, and some call it a head high. Sativa does this because it's activating receptors in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Sativa can reduce stress.

I don't get it. There's head high and then there's body high. Indica is considered a body high. It relaxes you physically. That's why it's colloquially called Indicouch. Indica is more of a sedative. This is because Indica suppresses the amygdala part of the brain and also shuts down the hippocampus. The indica variety of cannabis can lead to defects in memory.
