Hell there are a bunch of receptors in the brain that are called "cannabinoid receptors", because at the time of their discovery the only thing we knew about them was that they were activated by cannabis. Since then, we've developed a slightly wider understanding of their function in the body's normal operation, and yet the name still stands.

I probably should be sleeping. I know this because as I was reading, my eyes lost focus a bit and I read that as "activated by cannibals." Cue the confusion.
