THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol is the primary chemical compound responsible for the euphoric effects of cannabis. THC is a cannabinoid that binds to endocannabinoid receptors in the body, making users feel pleasantly intoxicated. Most varieties of cannabis are dominated by THC, which means that THC is the most abundant cannabinoid. THC provides a range of different sensations, from relaxation to less than pleasant feelings such as anxiety and paranoia. Many medical patients, especially those with severe illnesses and conditions, use cannabis in order to achieve psychological relief, especially from anxiety and depression. The effects of THC can be shaped by the presence of other compounds in the plant, such as other cannabinoids and terpenes.
