In this text, the most prominent substances that make up these groups are explored, including their biological effects and the contributions they make to the plant and its characteristics in aspects such as flavor and aroma, and the effects they have on the organs and systems.

Having understood the effects of cannabis and its derivatives on the organism, the text then reviews the main methods for the extraction of cannabinoids and their proper preservation and maintenance, so that this valuable product maintains its quality and effectiveness for years and even decades.
