THC, short for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is one of the many cannabinoids found in cannabis. It is the primary compound responsible for the psychoactive effects, often associated with the “high” experienced during cannabis use. When THC is consumed, it binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and nervous system, leading to effects such as euphoria, relaxation, altered sensory perception, increased appetite, and, in some cases, therapeutic benefits like pain relief and nausea reduction. The potency and effects of THC vary depending on the strain of cannabis, the method of consumption, dosage, and individual tolerance. Legal status for THC differs globally, with some regions allowing it for medical or recreational use, while others classify it as a controlled substance.
