THC
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a cannabinoid found in cannabis. It is the principal psychoactive constituent of Cannabis and one of at least 113 total cannabinoids identified on the plant. Although the chemical formula for THC (C21H30O2) describes multiple isomers, the term THC usually refers to the delta-9-THC isomer with chemical name (−)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. It is a colorless oil.
THC, also known pharmaceutically as dronabinol, is used medically to relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and HIV/AIDS-related anorexia. Nabiximols, a botanical drug which contains THC, is used medically to treat and symptoms of multiple sclerosis, including spasticity and neuropathic pain. THC acts as a partial agonist at CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
THC can be administered orally, inhaled, or transdermally, with bioavailability and onset varying by route, and is extensively metabolized in the liver to active and inactive metabolites before being excreted in feces and urine. Side effects include red eyes, dry mouth, drowsiness, memory impairment, anxiety, and, with chronic use, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. While human overdose is rare, THC can interact with other drugs and has a complex pharmacokinetic profile.
THC is classified variably under international and US law, with medical use approved in multiple countries. Research supports its effectiveness for spasticity and central pain in multiple sclerosis, though evidence for other neurological disorders is limited, and long-term high-dose exposure may carry uncertain toxicity risks.
