A dried cannabis flower. The short-term effects of cannabis are caused by many chemical compounds in the cannabis plant, including 113 [clarification needed] different cannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinol, and 120 terpenes, [1] which allow its drug to have various psychological and physiological effects on the human body.
Cannabinoids (/ k ə ˈ n æ b ə n ɔɪ d z ˌ ˈ k æ n ə b ə n ɔɪ d z /) are compounds found in the cannabis plant or synthetic compounds that can interact with the endocannabinoid system. [1] [2] The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (Delta-9-THC), the primary intoxicating compound in cannabis.
In Phase III trials, the most common adverse effects were dizziness, drowsiness and disorientation; 12% of subjects stopped taking the drug because of the side effects. [57] Dronabinol (brand names Marinol and Syndros) is a delta-9-THC containing drug for treating HIV/AIDS-induced anorexia and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. [58]
DE: Dronabinol: Anlage III, Δ 9-THC: II, other isomers and their stereochemical variants: I. (Does not apply to THC as part of cannabis, which is regulated separately, see Cannabis (drug)) UK: Class B; US: Schedule II as Syndros, Schedule III as Marinol, [2] Schedule I as Δ 9-THC in pure form. UN: Psychotropic Schedule I /II; In general Rx-only
Δ 9-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol (Δ 9-THCC, (C1)-Δ 9-THC) is a phytocannabinoid found in Cannabis pollen. [1] It is a homologue of THC and THCV with the alkyl side chain replaced by a smaller methyl group.
Tetrahydrocannabihexol (Δ 9-THCH, Δ 9-Parahexyl, n-Hexyl-Δ 9-THC) is a phytocannabinoid, the hexyl homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which was first isolated from Cannabis plant material in 2020 along with the corresponding hexyl homologue of cannabidiol, [1] [2] though it had been known for several decades prior to this as an isomer of the synthetic cannabinoid parahexyl. [3]
Δ 9-Tetrahydrocannabutol (tetrahydrocannabinol-C4, THC-C4, Δ 9-THCB, (C4)-Δ 9-THC, butyl-THC) is a phytocannabinoid found in cannabis that is a homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active component of Cannabis. [1] Structurally, they are only different by the pentyl side chain being replaced by a butyl side chain.
In the US, the FDA has approved two oral cannabinoids for use as medicine in 1985: [136] dronabinol (pure delta-9-THC; brand name Marinol) and nabilone (a synthetic neocannabinoid; brand name Cesamet). [6] In the US, they are both listed as Schedule II, indicating high potential for side effects and addiction. [53] [137]
