Although the chemical formula for THC (C 21 H 30 O 2) describes multiple isomers, [10] the term THC usually refers to the delta-9-THC isomer with chemical name (−)-trans-Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol. It is a colorless oil.
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.
Δ-11-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-11-THC, Δ 11-THC, Δ 9(11)-THC, exo-Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a rare isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, developed in the 1970s. It can be synthesised from Δ 8 -THC by several different routes, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] though only the (6aR, 10aR) enantiomer is known.
The two cannabinoids usually produced in greatest abundance are cannabidiol (CBD) and/or Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but only THC is psychoactive. [55] Since the early 1970s, Cannabis plants have been categorized by their chemical phenotype or "chemotype", based on the overall amount of THC produced, and on the ratio of THC to CBD. [56]
When burned, THCA turns into Delta 9 THC and likely exceeds the legal limits, Dixon said. But before it’s lit, its Delta 9 THC levels remain below the mandated 0.3%.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) There are 9 isomers of tetrahydrocannabinol. Among these, the main psychoactive isomer isolated from cannabis is dronabinol (delta-9-THC). [76] Dronabinol (delta-9-THC) International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for delta-9-THC (psychoactive), whether synthetic or natural. [100] [101] [102] Cannabidiol (CBD)
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.
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.
