What is Marijuana and what are the Effects of THC?
Marijuana - THC cannabinoids is a hallucinogenic agent derived from the flowering portion of the hemp plant. The active ingredients in Cannabinoids, THC & Cannabinol can be metabolized and excreted in urine as 11-nor- Δ9- tetrahydrocannabinol - 9 carboxylic acid with a half-life of 24 hours. It can be detected for 1 to 5 days after use. Smoking is the primary method of use of Cannabinoids / cannabis. Higher doses used by abusers produce central nervous system effects, altered mood and sensory perceptions, loss of coordination, impaired short-term memory, anxiety, paranoia, depression, confusion, hallucinations and increased heart rate. A tolerance to the cardiac and psychotropic effects can occur, and withdrawal syndrome produces restlessness, insomnia, anorexia and nausea.
Understanding Marijuana and Its Compounds: THC, Delta-8, and Delta-9
Marijuana is a plant known for its psychoactive properties, primarily derived from compounds called cannabinoids. These cannabinoids interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, influencing various physiological processes.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound found in marijuana, responsible for the "high" sensation. It exists in different forms, with Delta-8 and Delta-9 being the most notable.
Delta-9 THC is the most common and potent form of THC found in marijuana. It binds strongly to the CB1 receptors in the brain, producing pronounced psychoactive effects. This is the compound most associated with the traditional marijuana experience.
Delta-8 THC is a less potent form of THC, occurring in much smaller concentrations. It offers a milder high compared to Delta-9, with users reporting a more clear-headed and less anxious experience. Delta-8 has gained popularity for its perceived benefits and more accessible legal status in some regions.
