Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the most well-known cannabinoid. It is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. This is calculated as potential THC from a conversion from THCa.
The THC molecule is a lipid (fat) that is soluble in organic solvents and slightly water-soluble. The THC molecule has a very low molecular weight of 314.4 grams per mole and it has a boiling point of 200 degrees Celsius.
The THC molecule is also an agonist for the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, which are found in the brain and other parts of the body.
Recent studies suggest that smoking higher potency cannabis daily could increase the chances (up to 5x more) of developing psychosis when compared to those who have never consumed cannabis.
THC has been shown to have some medicinal benefits, but it also has some negative effects on the body and brain. Consumers can expect to see increases in anxiety at larger doses.
