The Endocannabinoid System in the body chemical compounds (Anandamine, 2AG, etc.) produced naturally in the human body by humans and animals that act on cannabinoid receptors. Activation of these receptors (CB1, CB2, and GPR55) results in the myriad of biological processes now thought to be involved with homeostasis (equilibrium)   of all major systems in the body. These processes include energy, storage, and distribution hunger/full response, programmed cell death (apoptosis), pain response, stress response and more. These receptors and chemical compounds compromise the endocannabinoid system (ECS) it encompasses a large part of our bodies complex cellular communication system (cellular and molecular biology). According to Dr. Vincenzo Di Marzo, a leading researcher at the Nation Council of Italy, the endocannabiod system is the only endgenous system of chemical signals that is involved in everything. 

Pictured on the right is a picture of Anandamine and THC. While Anandamine is a natural occurring brain chemical THC is almost the exact structure as Anandamine but remains illegal due to the DEA not scheduling marijuana correctly.
