ResumoMarijuana cannabinoids are both psychoactive and immunoactive. Here, we will review evidence that cannabinoids modulate immunity and that cannabinoid receptors and endogenous ligands are expressed in immune tissues. Clues will also be presented concerning the role of the cannabinoid system in immune regulation and the possible molecular mechanisms involved.
