The investigation of natural and synthetic cannabinoid ligands, including ( -)-Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabinol, cannabidiol, HU-210, HU-211, CT3, CP 55,940, WIN 55,212-2, SR 14,1716A, anandamide, 2-arachidonoylglycer ol, and numerous novel analogs, has led to important findings that have con tributed to a better understanding of the role of these compounds in physio logical processes. Their potential use for medicinal purposes is also bette r understood as a result.
