Tetrahydrocannabinol

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main active compound in cannabis that produces the feeling of being "high." It interacts with the brain's cannabinoid receptors, affecting mood, perception, memory, and coordination. THC can also help with pain relief, nausea, and appetite stimulation. While it has medicinal uses, it can also impair judgment and coordination, and legal status varies by location. Understanding THC's effects helps in making informed decisions about its use for recreational or medical purposes.
