Cannabis growers crossbreed different cannabis strains in order to obtain strain with certain traits. We have written about cannabis strains rich in CBD. For instance, some of these strains, such as, Charlotte’s Web contain almost no THC.
Some cannabis users want to consume cannabis strains rich in THC. THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid, in short, the cannabinoid that gets you high.
What is THC?
THC is a psychoactive cannabinoid. THC is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. To be more precise, THC is present in cannabis in its acidic form which is called THCa. THCa does not have psychoactive properties and that is why it needs to be “activated” and convert to THC to induce altered states in the consumer. THC is obtained after a process known as decarboxylation. In other words, the heating and/or the curing process that releases a carboxyl group. After this process, THCa converts into its decarboxylated and psychoactive form known as THC or tetrahydrocannabinol.
THC is a psychoactive substance that causes an altered state of consciousness. Moreover, it also causes an increased appetite, and the consumer especially craves for sweets; THC consumes a lot of glucose, hence the hunger and craving for sweet foods.
