Understanding THCP: The Most Potent Cannabinoid
In the ever-evolving landscape of cannabinoids, THCP, or tetrahydrocannabiphorol, has emerged as a fascinating compound that piques our curiosity. Discovered relatively recently, in 2019, by a team of Italian researchers, THCP is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is structurally similar to THC, the well-known psychoactive component of cannabis, but with a longer alkyl side chain. This structural difference is believed to significantly enhance its binding affinity to cannabinoid receptors in the human body, which may …

Heating: Why is THCA Legal?
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is the precursor to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects associated with marijuana use. THCA is produced in the raw cannabis plant and is converted into THC through a process called decarboxylation, which occurs when cannabis is heated or aged. This means that when cannabis is consumed in its raw form, such as in juices or salads, users are primarily ingesting THCA rather …
