The cannabinoids occurring in the Cannabis plant are known as phytocannabinoids.[1] By 2015, 120 phytocannabinoids had been identified.[2] The following are some of them.

Phytocannabinoids are a structurally diverse class of naturally occurring chemical constituents in the genus Cannabis (Cannabaceae). This chemical classification is broadly based on their derivation from a common C21 precursor (cannabigerolic acid,4 CBGA), or its C19 analog (cannabigerovaric acid,5 CBGVA), the predominate phytocannabinoid precursors formed through the reaction of geranyl pyrophosphate with olivetolic and divarinic acid, respectively.
