Cannabis was found to have 400 chemical entities but the 2 major chemical components are cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The raw plant consists of mainly cannabinoid acids, after it is dried, heated and stored, the cannabinoid acids are then decarboxylated into the CBD and THC. The THC concentration correlates to the potency of the cannabis.
THC is the active component that is responsible for the psychoactive properties that give the “stoned” effect” while CBD does not affect locomotor activities and gives an opposing effect to THC. CBD decreases the anxiety component of THC which results in more pleasurable effects.
