This jar contains a secret cannabinoid, and it's not what you're thinking. That cannabinoid is anandamide. It's in cacao, like what's in our Mushroom Brew Raw Cacao. The word anandamide comes from the Sanskrit, literally meaning bliss. This is the bliss molecule for your brain, and it's awesome, and science is cool. But cacao's got more than this. It's also got chemicals that help block the enzymes that try to delete the anandamide that's already in your body. So not only does it supplement it, but but it also helps protect what you've already got. Evolution created the endocannabinoid system 500 million years ago. Cacao's got cannabinoids, hemp has it, lots of other stuff has it. We'll keep talking about it, but these are awesome compounds nobody should be afraid of.
