Indeed, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) functions as an agonist, primarily targeting the cannabinoid receptors located inside the brain and central nervous system. There are two principal cannabinoid receptors, namely CB1 and CB2. THC, functioning as an agonist, initiates the activation of these receptors, hence inducing a range of physiological and psychoactive effects that are commonly observed subsequent to the use of cannabis.
