The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s.

Thus, in the face of massive fines, Weedmaps, this past January, finally capitulated and pledged to drop ads for illegal vendors from its online directory.

A negative allosteric modulator changes the shape of the receptor and, as a result, reduces the binding ability of components that typically bind to the receptor. In the case of cannabinoids, CBD alters the shape of CB1 receptors, and THC along with endogenous cannabinoids do not bind to the CB1 receptor to the same degree as they do when CBD is not present.
