// Definition
Cannabinoids that originate in the cannabis plant, as opposed to endocannabinoids which the body produces itself. They are introduced to the body through inhalation, ingestion, sublingual drops, or transdermal application, where they interact with the endocannabinoid system.
// From the Episode
The distinction between phytocannabinoids and endocannabinoids was central to the episode's medical argument. Bubbleman and guests emphasised that the body already has a cannabinoid system — phytocannabinoids from the plant simply support and extend what the body does naturally. This framing is important because it shifts the conversation from "getting high" to "supporting biological homeostasis." It also underpins the argument against CBD isolate legislation — isolating one phytocannabinoid and ignoring the other 80+ is like taking one vitamin and calling it a balanced diet.
