THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol) in Medical Cannabis.

Introduction Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is one of over 100 cannabinoids identified in the Cannabis sativa plant. As the primary psychoactive compound, THC is often recognized for its effects on mood, consciousness, and perception. However, its therapeutic applications have gained significant attention in modern medicine, particularly as researchers uncover how THC interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This unique interaction allows THC to exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiemetic, and appetite-stimulating properties, among others. Today, THC is used in medical settings to treat chronic pain, nausea, spasticity, and a variety of other symptoms, marking a transformative shift in how certain conditions are managed.
