THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

THC is one of two psychoactive component in cannabis, called cannabinoids. The other is are CBD. These components are unique to cannabis and are not found in any other plants. Cannabis, also known informally as ganja, weed, or pot, is a flowering plant that originates in Asia. Cannabis is not a classic psychedelic, but its medicinal and mind-expanding properties cause it to be commonly grouped alongside psychedelics. The many medicinal and therapeutic benefits of cannabis are well-documented, and additional applications are constantly emerging. There is a strong body of evidence supporting the use of cannabis for vomiting and nausea in cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy, as well as the treatment of appetite loss and wasting syndrome for patients with HIV and cancer; treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS), neuropathic and chronic pain for fibromyalgia, post-herpetic neuralgia and others. Current studies are also investigating promising evidence into the use of cannabis for treating symptoms of Crohn’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), spinal cord injuries, attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), glaucoma, migraine headaches, anxiety, and epilepsy.
