•G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) is a binding site for cannabinoids.•No conclusive information was available on function of GPR55 in the GI tract.•We found that targeting GPR55 at peripheral or central sites slows GI motility.•Slowing effect of GPR55 activation on GI motility is primarily obse...
