1. A method for modulating activity of a cannabinoid receptor, the method comprising contacting the cannabinoid receptor with a monomer or an oligomer of a compound comprising Formula (I) such that the activity of the cannabinoid receptor is modulated; the compound comprising Formula (I): wherein: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, and R10 are independently chosen from hydrogen, hydroxyl, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, substituted hydrocarbyloxy, and sulfoxy; provided that at least one of the R groups is a hydroxyl or substituted hydroxyl group; and provided that if the compound comprising Formula (I) is monomeric, then the compound comprising Formula (I) is other than resveratrol.
