Many studies report an elimination half-life of THC in the range of 20 to 30 hours. [3] 11-Hydroxy-THC appears to have a similar terminal half-life to that of THC, for instance 12 to 36 hours relative to 25 to 36 hours in one study. [3] The elimination half-life of THC is longer in heavy users. [23]
THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis, may only be detectable in saliva and oral fluid for 2–24 hours in most cases. [8] [9] The main metabolite excreted in the urine is 11-Nor-9-carboxy-THC, also known as THC-COOH. Most cannabis drug tests yield a positive result when the concentration of THC-COOH in urine exceeds 50 ng/mL. [10]
11-COOH-THC is a Schedule 8 prohibited substance in Western Australia under the Poisons Standard (July 2016). [15] A schedule 8 substance is a controlled Drug – Substances which should be available for use but require restriction of manufacture, supply, distribution, possession and use to reduce abuse, misuse and physical or psychological dependence.
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.
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.
The original cannabinoid distillate (the precursor to EA-2233, called EA-1476 or "Red oil"), known today as delta-9-THC, was first created in 1949, and laboratory study of EA-1476 occurred in the mid-1950s. A single batch of EA-2233 was prepared by chemist Harry Pars of A.D. Little Labs in 1962 under a top-secret government contract.
8,11-Dihydroxytetrahydrocannabinol (8β,11-diOH-Δ 9-THC) is an active metabolite of THC, the main active component of cannabis. The 8β enantiomer retains psychoactive effects in animal studies with only slightly lower potency than THC, while the 8α enantiomer is much weaker.
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.
