Delta 9 THC (Δ9-THC)
When dealing with Delta 9 THC, it’s hard to present new information when it’s such an amazingly popular component. Delta-9-THC and Delta-8-THC are the only compounds in the marijuana plant that produce all the psychoactive effects of marijuana. Because Delta-9-THC is much more abundant than Delta-8-THC, the psycho-activity of marijuana has been attributed largely to the effects of Delta-9-THC. Nevertheless, it’s important to mention that Delta 9 THC binds with our CB1 receptors, predominantly found throughout the body and the brain. When Delta 9 THC binds with CB1 receptors, the effect is quite strong because of the double bond on the ninth carbon chain. Delta 9 THC is also present in the cannabis plant in very high quantities, which means effects are strong. This is perhaps a suitable explanation for the occurrence of a general feeling of relaxation when we consume cannabis, which is known to potentially help with stress, sadness, and some kinds of discomfort.
