What Is Tetrahydrocannabinol?

(THC) naturally occurs in the brain.

Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol: A Short Summary About THC.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive component of the cannabis plant. This cannabinoid was first isolated in 1964 by an Israeli Professor Dr. Raphael Mechoulam and Dr. Yechiel Gaoni. THC is currently a schedule I drug in the United States, meaning that it is deemed by the federal government to have no medicinal value whatsoever. One of the best ways to highlight this absurd notion is through the the double-standard of synthesizing of THC, a synthetic chemical that has been developed and legally sold in the United States under the name Marinol, which is available as a schedule III drug requiring a prescription.

THC is also a naturally occurring chemical with the human brain; this is where the psychoactive properties of THC come from. When you inhale or otherwise consume THC you flood your brain as well as the rest of your body with more THC than your body would naturally create on its own.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has a wide range of pain relief effects.

 THC has a wide range from mild to moderate analgesic or pain relieving effect, and has been used to treat pain by alerting the release of signals from various bodily components such as the spinal cord. There are often a number of other effects, including relaxation and a modification of the senses such as sight and auditory response, in addition to an increase in appetite.

It is well known that cannabis consumption increases appetite and food intake in humans, which is believed to be a result of THC effects on the CB1 receptors in the hypothalamus of the human brain. A study with mice suggests that cannabis stimulates taste as well as the pleasure experienced in the consumption of food. These studies are showing that increased pleasure may not be the only cause for an increase in appetite under the influence of THC.

Cancer patients benefit from the use of THC. 

Cancer patients often experience nausea from their chemotherapy as well as a loss in appetite. One of the hardest things cancer patients often deal with is a lack of nutrition as their appetite is either very low or nonexistent. Many of those suffering from cancer are finding marijuana and the THC within it to be a lifesaving appetite-stimulant which increases their appetite so they can eat, helping them take in the nutrition they desperately need. These same patients have also noticed a decrease in nausea, pain and other debilitating symptoms that other drugs have been unable to resolve without major addictions or side effects.

HIV/AIDS patients have also found relief from their conditions with THC, which reduces symptoms such as neuropathic pain induced by their therapy as well as an increase in weight gain. Because Marinol does not contain many of the other therapeutic components within real marijuana, like CBD, terpenoids, and flavonoids. AIDS/HIV sufferers who use this product may not achieve maximum benefit. Furthermore, some patients report that a single Marinol tablet frequently causes the patient to sleep or experience an all-day high that inhibits their cognitive ability throughout the day. Natural THC does not have the same effects, however, as the patient is able to carefully control their dose as well as take in the many other components of the natural drug.

Unlocking the Potential of CBD Oil: A Natural Remedy for Wellness

In recent years, CBD oil has gained significant attention for its potential health benefits, leading many to explore this natural remedy as a way to enhance their overall wellness. CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the many compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its counterpart, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn't produce the "high" associated with marijuana. This quality has made CBD oil a promising option for those seeking relief from various ailments without the side effects typically associated with traditional medications.

CBD oil is commonly derived from industrial hemp, a cannabis variety containing minimal THC levels. Its popularity can be attributed to its potential to alleviate a range of symptoms, such as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and even epilepsy. Research and anecdotal evidence suggest that CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including pain perception, mood, and immune response.

Furthermore, CBD oil is available in various forms, including tinctures, capsules, topicals, and edibles, allowing users to choose the most suitable method for their specific needs. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD oil into your wellness routine, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

While the potential benefits of CBD oil are promising, it's important to remember that the industry is still evolving, and research is ongoing. As more studies are conducted, our understanding of CBD's full range of applications will likely expand. For those looking for a natural alternative to traditional treatments, CBD oil may hold the key to unlocking a healthier, more balanced life.

Scientists have discovered cannabidiol, a compound in cannabis known as CBD, in a common Brazilian plant, opening potential new avenues to produce the increasingly popular substance. The team found CBD in the fruits and flowers of a plant known as Trema micrantha blume, a shrub which grows across much of the South American country and is often considered a weed, molecular biologist Rodrigo Moura Neto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro told AFP in June 2023. CBD, increasingly used by some to treat conditions including epilepsy, chronic pain and anxiety, is one of the main active compounds in cannabis, along with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC – the substance that makes users feel high. The compound's effectiveness as a medical treatment is still under research.

Cannabis: A Multifaceted Plant for a Multitude of Uses

Introduction

Cannabis, a plant that has been a part of human history for thousands of years, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity as its myriad of uses become increasingly recognised. From its strong fibres used in textiles and paper to its nutritional and medicinal properties, cannabis has proven itself to be a truly multipurpose plant. This article will delve into the various aspects of this versatile plant and explore how it has been utilised throughout history and across cultures.

The History of Hemp: A Material with Unmatched Strength

One of the most well-known uses of cannabis is in the production of hemp, a material derived from the plant's strong fibres. These fibres have been used for millennia to create durable cloth, rope, and paper. The Vikings, known for their seafaring prowess, utilised hemp to construct sails for their ships, enabling them to voyage from Scandinavia to Nova Scotia. In the United States, Betsy Ross sewed the first flag from hempen cloth, and the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. Even the now obsolete German currency, Deutsche Mark, were once printed on hemp paper.

The use of hemp extended beyond these applications, as seen in the Netherlands, where windmills were built specifically to crush hemp stalks. This demonstrates the importance of hemp in various industries and highlights the plant's incredible versatility.

Cannabis as a Nutritional Powerhouse

While the strength of its fibres may have initially attracted humans to the cannabis plant, its potential as a food source likely played a significant role in its widespread cultivation. Cannabis seeds, or hempseeds, are packed with essential nutrients such as polyunsaturated fats, essential fatty acids, and proteins. These qualities qualify hempseed as a functional food, meaning it provides health benefits beyond basic nutrition.

For over three thousand years, Asian cultures have utilised hempseed as both a food and a medicine. Despite the prohibition of cannabis products in the United States, hempseed has been allowed for use in food over the last two decades. This highlights the recognition of its nutritional value and potential health benefits.

Cannabis Resin: A Source of Medicinal and Psychoactive Compounds

The resin produced by the cannabis plant is another aspect that has garnered significant attention due to its medicinal and psychoactive properties. The compounds found in cannabis resin, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), have been the focus of breeding efforts to increase their production. These efforts have led to the development of various cannabis drug chemotypes around the world, with some cultivars producing only THC, others producing both THC and CBD, and a few expressing propyl THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) and/or CBDV (cannabidivarin).

The medicinal uses of cannabis resin have been widely researched, with evidence suggesting its effectiveness in treating conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and more. The psychoactive effects of THC have also led to the recreational use of cannabis, which has sparked debates surrounding its legalisation and regulation.

Environmental Benefits of Cannabis Cultivation

In addition to its myriad uses, cannabis cultivation offers several environmental benefits. Hemp plants are known to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, making them an effective tool in combating climate change. Furthermore, hemp requires fewer pesticides and herbicides than many other crops, reducing the environmental impact of agriculture.

Cannabis can also be used as a source of biofuel, offering a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Additionally, the fast growth rate and low water requirements of hemp make it a sustainable crop, capable of providing resources without causing significant strain on natural resources.

Conclusion

Cannabis is a truly remarkable plant, with applications ranging from textiles and paper to nutrition and medicine. As society continues to recognise its numerous benefits, it is likely that the cultivation and use of cannabis will only continue to grow. By embracing this versatile plant, we can harness its potential to improve our health, industries, and environment for generations to come.

What gives the cannabis sativa plant it’s pain-relieving properties?

Most people will tell you it’s cannabidiol (CBD) and/or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the two most well-known chemical compounds found in cannabis.

But researchers at University of Arizona Health Sciences say terpenes -- aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive “skunky” smell – have analgesic effects as well. In fact, in a new study published in the journal PAIN, they report that cannabis terpenes are just as effective as morphine in reducing neuropathic pain in laboratory animals.

“A question that we’ve been very interested in is could terpenes be used to manage chronic pain?” lead researcher John Streicher, PhD, a Pharmacology Professor at UA’s College of Medicine in Tucson, said in a press release. “What we found is that terpenes are really good at relieving a specific type of chronic pain with side effects that are low and manageable.”

Terpenes are found in all plants and are the main component of essential oils. Terpenes give lavender, sage and eucalyptus oils their distinctive smells, which are used to promote relaxation or even reduce pain and inflammation. In nature, terpenes help plants attract pollinators such as bees or to protect themselves from predators. (Read more at link)

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Sometimes pot is pain relieving, and sometimes it just makes it easier to watch tv in pain. I’m really fond of Wedding Cake for pain relief.

Marijuana is a psychoactive drug made from the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds of the Cannabis plant. It contains a chemical called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is responsible for its mind-altering effects. Marijuana is typically consumed by smoking it in a joint or a pipe, but it can also be vaporized, brewed into tea, or eaten in the form of edibles. Marijuana has been used for both medicinal and recreational purposes for thousands of years and is still a controversial topic due to its legal status in many parts of the world.
