what is thc.
THC is short for tetrahydrocannabinol, and it's a chemical compound found in cannabis plants (marijuana). When it's ingested or inhaled, THC binds to the cannabinoid receptors in your brain. Low doses of THC help reduce pain and nausea, and help stimulate the appetite. In some cases, it can also reduce aggression. Larger doses of THC result in the marijuana high - an altered perception of time and space that comes with feelings of happiness, fatigue, or both.
