THC

THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It binds to CB1 receptors in the brain to produce euphoria, altered perception, and appetite stimulation, along with potential side effects like anxiety at high doses. Strain THC content is usually given as a percentage of dry flower weight; modern high-THC genetics test in the 25–32% range, while older or CBD-focused strains are lower. Actual THC depends heavily on growing conditions and cure.
