To be clear, there are tons and tons of cannabinoids that have been identified (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_cannabinoids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_cannabinoids and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designer_drugs#Synthetic_cannabinoids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designer_drugs#Synthet...). What's particularly interesting about these is that they're phytocannabinoids, meaning that they're present in (at least some) cannabis and can help explain why folks don't respond to pure THC in the same way they respond to cannabis. The article mentions this a few times, but sadly it doesn't delve too deeply into what the parts of the cannabis effect profile might belong to THCP.
These aren't the first non-THC, non-CBD phytocannabinoids identified, here are the others currently known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid#Cannabis-derived_cannabinoids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid#Cannabis-derived_c...
- TruPo_Science 7y agoIt would be interesting to see what levels of THCP (and CBDP) are in commercial cannabis. And they didn't do the in vivo work with CBDP, which may be more tolerable to medical users since we try to avoid intoxicating compounds in medicine... yet we still have many pharmaceuticals that can get you high (e.g. opioids). I am sure (I hope) we will see follow up studies with a variety of in vivo work.
