The phytocannabinoid chemicals found in cannabis are also produced by other plants and flowers; some plants produce cannabimimetics. You may already familiar with many of these plants as superfoods.

 Sunflowers: Cannabinoid-like compounds that mimic cannabigerol (CBG) are present in a unique genus of sunflower called Helichrysum. This sunflower also contains amorfrutins, which reduce blood sugar and have anti-inflammatory effects much like CBD.

 Echinacea: Echinacea, also known as coneflower, is full of cannabimimetics. Echinacea interacts with the brain receptor that regulates the immune function of inflammation, among other things. This plant is used in the treatment of conditions from arthritis to colds and migraines.

 Electric daisy: The electric daisy is also known as the “toothache plant.” It contains a cannabimimetic (N-isobutylamides) that can block pain receptors at nerve endings and thus is powerful for treating toothaches.

 Chinese rhododendron: Folic acids in this flower act like cannabinoids by helping with inflammatory and pain response. Cannabinoid-like derivatives help reduce muscle contractions.
