  2. Inhalation and oral ingestion
  3. Cardiovascular system

Exp: The structure shown represents a cannabinoid molecule, part of a diverse class of compounds found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system, which regulates various physiological processes like mood, memory, and pain.Cannabinoids are primarily extracted from the flowering tops of *Cannabis sativa*. They can be consumed through inhalation, such as smoking or vaping, which provides rapid effects, or through oral ingestion in forms like edibles and oils. Oral consumption results in a slower onset but longer-lasting effects.The brain hosts a high concentration of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) that play a vital role in processing cannabinoids, influencing emotions and sensory experiences.
