Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. {'text': 'Central nervous system via specific cannabinoid receptors', 'label': 'A'}
1. Cannabinoids come from Cannabis sativa (marijuana, hashish, ganja).
2. They interact with specific cannabinoid receptors mostly in the CNS.
3. Effects include altered mood and impaired coordination.
4. Chronic use is linked to cardiovascular effects too, but the direct receptor targets are in the CNS.
