During the 1990s, transmembranal proteins in the central nervous system (CNS) that recognize the principal compound of marijuana, the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta9-THC) were described. The receptors were classified as central or peripheral, CB1 and CB2, respectively.
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are two major constituents of Cannabis sativa. Δ9-THC modulates sleep, but no clear evidence on the role of CBD is available. In order to determine the effects of CBD on sleep, it was administered intracerebroventricular (icv) in a dose of 10 μg/5 μl at the beginning of either the lights-on or the lights-off period.
