CB2 Receptor

A cannabinoid receptor found primarily in the immune system, peripheral nervous system, and organs. CB2 receptors are a major focus of cannabinoid research. Unlike CB1 receptors, CB2 activation does not produce psychoactive effects. Caryophyllene is the only known terpene that binds CB2 receptors directly. CBD and CBG also interact with CB2 receptors, which is part of why they remain widely studied non-intoxicating compounds.
