Tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC, Δ9-THC, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol(delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), Δ1-tetrahydrocannabinol(using an older chemical nomenclature), or dronabinol, is the main psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis plant. It was isolated by Raphael Mechoulam, Yechiel Gaoni, and Habib Edery from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel in 1964.[3][4][5] In pure form, it is a glassy solid when cold, and becomes viscous and sticky if warmed. An aromatic terpenoid, THC has a very low solubility in water, but good solubility in most organic solvents such as butane or hexane. As for most pharmacologically active plant secondary metabolites, THC in Cannabis is assumed to be involved in self-defense, perhaps against herbivores.[6] THC also possesses high UV-B (280-315 nm) absorption properties and it has been speculated that this could protect the seed buds from harmful UV radiation.[citation needed] Dronabinol is the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for a pure isomer of THC, (-)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, that is the main isomer in Cannabis.[7] It is sold as Marinol (a registered trademark of Solvay Pharmaceuticals).

How is THC put on marijuana?
THC occurs naturally in the marijuana plant in small, crystal-like structures called trichomes. These trichomes produce and store the THC and other cannabinoids that give marijuana its psychoactive effects. When the marijuana plant is harvested, dried, and then heated (through smoking, vaporizing, or cooking), the THC is activated and can be ingested to produce its effects.
How much THC will a 6 month old male pot plant produce?
Male plants are hemp. They do not produce enough THC to have any altering effects at all.
How much THC does your body naturally generate?
The human body does not naturally produce THC. THC is a cannabinoid compound found in the cannabis plant. The body produces its own endocannabinoids, such as anandamide, which interact with the endocannabinoid system, but these are distinct from THC.
Can you smoke the leave of a plant?
You can if you wanted to but the leaves dont produce THC or have THC in them. Of course you might buy a nugget with a bunch of chopped parts of leaves in it but thats just from where the scissors couldnt get to

How do you make delta9-THC?
You can't 'make' Delta-9-THC. THC (for space purposes) is a chemical found in (amongst other plants) Cannabis. You can 'extract' THC from the Cannabis plant and concentrate it, but you can't 'make' it. Of course, if you are a major pharmaceutical company, or own an advanced scientific laboratory, you can use other chemicals and processing to produce something like THC, but it isn't natural THC. Delta-9-THC aka Tetrahydrocannabinol.
Is THC in anything other than Pot?
No, THC is a cannabinoid, which is native to the Cannabis (marijuana) plant. There are low amounts in the hemp plant, but not enough to produce a "buzz". There are medical pills that contain a structurally similar chemical ((−)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol), but it isn't the same thing as pot, because other cannabinoids account for the marijuana high than just THC.
Does your brain naturally produce THC?
No, the brain does not naturally produce THC. THC is a compound found in the cannabis plant. The brain does have its own endocannabinoid system, which produces natural chemicals that interact with THC when consumed.
Is THC found anywhere other than cannabis?
You can find THC in Hemp and Cannabis. No other plant has the same exact substance compound. Although there are some other plants with similar compounds that produce somewhat of a Cannabis high.
Which part of the cannabis contains the least amount of THC?
The seeds and stalks of the cannabis plant contain the least amount of THC compared to other parts of the plant. This is because THC is primarily produced in the flowers and leaves of the plant.
What gives the marijuana plant it high?
THC
