1. Chocolate contains pharmacologically active substances that have the same effect on the brain as marijuana. Anandamide naturally occurring within chocolate binds to cannabinoid receptors and closely mimics the effects of cannabinoids. Chocolate edibles are not only delicious, but they can greatly enhance and increase the efficacy of the cannabis products when consumed together.
