CBD operates through the endocannabinoid system, which engages receptors distributed across various brain regions and at the spinal cord level. Its mechanism involves impeding the transmission of pain signals. Remarkably, it exhibits potency levels 10 times greater than morphine in affecting specific pain-sensitive nerve cells, while also inducing pain relief under stress-induced circumstances. Peripheral pain relief is achieved through CB1 receptor stimulation. CBD bears a striking chemical resemblance to endocannabinoids like anandamide, or arachidonoylethanolamine, and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, which bind with ECS receptors. At elevated doses, it elevates anandamide levels, leading to pronounced pain relief effects.
