Like Δ 9-THC, 11-hydroxy-THC is a partial agonist at the cannabinoid receptor CB 1, but with significantly higher binding affinity (K i = 0.37 nM compared to Δ 9-THC K i = 35 nM). [7] With respect to cAMP inhibition at CB 1 it displays a similar efficacy to that of Δ 9 -THC (EC 50 = 11 nM vs. EC 50 = 5.2 nM, respectively), but a lower ...
CBD shares a precursor with THC and is the main cannabinoid in CBD-dominant Cannabis strains. CBD has been shown to play a role in preventing the short-term memory loss associated with THC. [29] There is tentative evidence that CBD has an anti-psychotic effect, but research in this area is limited. [30] [24]

A 2015 review found that the use of high CBD-to-THC strains of cannabis showed significantly fewer positive symptoms, such as delusions and hallucinations, better cognitive function and both lower risk for developing psychosis, as well as a later age of onset of the illness, compared to cannabis with low CBD-to-THC ratios.

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.
Each new letter signals a new strain — typically derived from legal hemp, but sometimes synthetically produced — that is high in cannabinoids other than Delta 9 THC.
THC is just one of more than 100 identified cannabinoid compounds in Cannabis, which also include cannabinol (CBN) and cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabis plants vary widely, with different strains producing dynamic balances of cannabinoids (THC, CBD, etc.) and yielding markedly different effects. Popular strains are often hybrids of C. sativa and C ...
