CBD is effective due to its ability to affect the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which is an entire-body system that is responsible for regulating nearly every other system in the body. CBD effectually improves the ECS by lowering FAAH and therefore increasing anandamide, a neurotransmitter synthesized in areas of the brain that are important for memory, motivation, movement control, and higher order thinking. Anandamide also plays an important role in pain tolerance, appetite and fertility.
