is THC the only active Chemical in Marijuana? I know different kinds of bud produce different kinds of high is this due to the THC content or is it because of other chemicals?

Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol is responsible for most of the plants psychoactive effects.

Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol is also psychoactive, but it is less powerful than D-9-THC, and much less abundant in the plant.

Cannabinol is about 1/10 as powerful as D-9-THC. But researchers had to administer it intravenously to discover this. So chances are, when you smoke or eat marijuana, it's not really going to play a big role in terms of psychoactive effects in the big picture.

Apparently, cannabidiol alone doesn't get you high (in the doses humans use I'm guessing). But when combined with D-9-THC, it can increase the D-9-THC euphoria. Interestingly, cannabinol can decrease the intensity of the D-9-THC high, but prolongs the high.

Cannabichromene has mild to no psychoactive effects. Again, I doubt it's going to play a major role in terms of psychoactive effects in the big picture.

Supposedly, D-9-THC and cannabidiol account for 95% of the active ingredients of marijuana.

So with different strains, varying amounts of D-9-THC, D-8-THC, cannabinol, cannabidiol, and to a lesser extent cannabichromene, can yield different highs.

Didn't you say something in another post about 11-OH-D9-THC?

In eating? And to a lesser extent smoking?

Also...where do you know all this Cheeba? You always know the technical data..on everything. Your the smartest stoner I know.

I'm obsessed with the plant. But I can never find good data to read.

I'm guessing ManMulcahey's only talking about the ingredients in the plant. Since 11-OH-D-9-THC is created in your body, I left it out.

Fine. I'm just going to go on my way then

Gimme a moment to gather up my sources.

The first line can be found in a lot of places. Such as here for example.

The second lines info can come from the above link and this place.

The third and fourth line come from Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence by Mitch Earleywine, pages 123-125.

The fifth line comes from Marihuana Reconsidered by Lester Grinspoon (the newer one), pages 53-54.

The sixth line comes from Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence by Mitch Earleywine, page 123.

The seventh, and final line, comes from me.
