“…Implantation is a process that involves complex interactions between the blastocyst and the uterus; in particular, the embryo establishes a physical and physiological contact with the maternal endometrium, followed by stromal cell decidualisation at the sites of blastocysts [298]. The uterine environment is divided into pre-receptive, receptive, and non-receptive state [297,299]; these three phases of the uterus during pregnancy or pseudopregnancy are sequentially programmed by ovarian P and E [300], which are the primary regulators of uterine receptivity for implantation [301]. In order for implantation to take place, it is very important that the uterus differentiates into the “receptive state” [297].…”

Starting from an historical overview of lasting Cannabis use over the centuries, we will focus on a description of the cannabinergic system, with a comprehensive analysis of chemical and pharmacological properties of endogenous and synthetic cannabimimetic analogues. The metabolic pathways and the signal transduction mechanisms, activated by cannabinoid receptors stimulation, will also be discussed. In particular, we will point out the action of cannabinoids and endocannabinoids on the different neuronal networks involved in reproductive axis, and locally, on male and female reproductive tracts, by emphasizing the pivotal role played by this system in the control of fertility.
