Echinacea contains cannabinoids
R:
CB2 sites have no psychoactive effects whatsoever. As a recreational drug, Echineea is a bust.
If you want to look at some other plants that actually have CB1 agonists other than MJ, there are actually a few. Look at things like Daucas (carrots) and Panax (ginseng) genus and you will find falcarinol for example. There are plenty of other natural sources of CB1 agonists, but very few are either easy to get at (isolate) or have no adverse side effects. MJ is still the best source for well characterized, well-understood CB1 agonists.

Get access to a Medline account and knock youself out searching. There is a lot of R&D being conducted right now on cannibinoids and there are a lot of studies being published.

Wow, that's really interesting.. How high is the affinity for it, if you know? I drink kava on a daily basis, I can always feel the anxiolytic affects and the herb is great.
