CANNABIN Meaning and Definition

1. Cannabin is a noun that refers to any of a group of naturally occurring chemical compounds known as cannabinoids. These compounds are found in the cannabis plant and interact with receptors in the human body's endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoids are responsible for the various medicinal and psychoactive effects associated with cannabis consumption.

   The term cannabin usually specifically refers to one of the major cannabinoids found in cannabis, known as cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabidiol is a non-intoxicating compound with a wide range of therapeutic properties. It has been used to treat various conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, anxiety, and inflammation, among others. Cannabinoids like CBD are thought to work by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the body, affecting neurotransmitter release and having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

   In recent years, cannabidiol has gained significant popularity due to its potential therapeutic benefits, leading to the development of various CBD-infused products such as oils, tinctures, topicals, and edibles. These products aim to provide the potential benefits of cannabidiol without the psychoactive effects associated with another major cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). However, it is worth noting that cannabidiol and other cannabinoids are still subjects of ongoing research, and their potential benefits and risks are not yet fully understood or regulated.

2. A resinoid of greenish-black color, obtained from cannabis indica; used in hysteria, neuralgia, delirium tremens, and insomnia in doses of gr. 1/4-1 (0.015-0.06).

Etymology of CANNABIN

The word "cannabin" is derived from the Latin term "cannabis", which in turn comes from the Greek word "kánnabis". The Greek term "kánnabis" most likely originated from a non-Indo-European language (possibly Scythian or Thracian) and was borrowed into Greek.
