Tetrahydrocannabinol

Description:
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), with the CAS number 1972-08-3, is the principal psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is classified as a phytocannabinoid and is primarily responsible for the euphoric effects associated with marijuana use. THC has a molecular formula of C21H30O2 and a molecular weight of approximately 314.46 g/mol. It is a lipophilic compound, meaning it is soluble in fats and oils but not in water, which influences its absorption and distribution in the body. THC interacts with the endocannabinoid system by binding to cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1 and CB2, which are found throughout the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. This interaction leads to various physiological effects, including altered mood, perception, and appetite. THC also exhibits potential therapeutic properties, such as pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a subject of interest in medical research. However, its psychoactive effects can lead to adverse reactions, including anxiety and paranoia, particularly in inexperienced users or at high doses.
