Delta-9-THC

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9-THC) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It interacts with the brain's endocannabinoid system, producing feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and altered sensory perception. Delta-9-THC is responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana use. It is also used medicinally to relieve pain, nausea, and increase appetite in certain medical conditions. THC can be consumed in various forms, such as smoking, edibles, or oils, and its effects can vary based on dosage and individual tolerance. Awareness of its effects is important, especially regarding legal and health considerations.
