Abstract in brief

Anandamide is a natural lipid in the brain that interacts with CB1 receptors, which are also targeted by THC from cannabis, and it influences the brain's reward system.
Research shows that anandamide can act as a reward signal and may contribute to addiction behaviors, especially when its breakdown is blocked, increasing its effects.
Modulating anandamide levels by inhibiting its degrading enzymes could lead to new treatments for substance use disorders by affecting drug reward and reinforcement mechanisms.]
