The most likely method for the discovery of the THC receptors would be a form of autoradiography. This technique involves labeling a substance with a radioactive tracer and then exposing it to a tissue sample. The areas where the substance has bound can be detected by imaging the tissue using a special film or a digital imaging system. This technique was used in the discovery of the opiate receptors, and it is likely that a similar approach was taken to identify the THC receptors.
