TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (THC)

By N., Sam M.S.

one of many cannabinoids taking place within the cannabis plant which is the agent mainly accountable for the psychoactive traits of cannabis. THC is accessible within a synthetic pharmaceutical preparation recognized as dronabinol for utilization within the remediation of chemotherapy-elicited nausea and throwing up, and as an appetite stimulus for the remediation of HIV-related anorexia. Research proposes it might also be sufficient in lessening intraocular pressure and as a pain reliever.
