Today I'm writing a paper which compares THC to anandamide, and analyzes why anandamide is a cannabinoid receptor agonist. I'd like to hear some suggestions or recommendations as my paper develops.

Structurally, anandamide is not much like THC. THC (like most cannabinoids) is a three-ringed molecule with one aromatic and a lipid "tail". Anandamide, on the other hand, is a polyunsaturated lipid with an amide "head". Logic says that anandamide should not be pharmacologically active at the CBn receptors, but it is. The reason it's active is that the electronegative portions of the molecule are arranged similar to THC (or other cannabinoids).

Right now, I've just written the introduction. Here's a sample:
