THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Discovered in 1964 by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, THC works by binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors in your Endocannabinoid System (ECS), producing effects like euphoria, appetite stimulation, and pain relief. Dosage and your body chemistry both determine your experience.
