What is THCp?
- THCP is one of over 120 cannabinoids found in cannabis
- THCP was only discovered in 2019 by Italian researchers.
- The research team found evidence suggesting that THCP may have a more pronounced impact on a cannabis strains’ psychoactivity than THC itself.
- THCP binds to CB1 receptors up to 33 times more often than traditional THC, which means THCP is potentially up to 33x as potent as THC.
- This makes the cannabinoid attach more securely to receptors throughout the body and thus it takes a much smaller amount of THCP to impact different functions governed by the endocannabinoid system (ECS) than for THC to have the same effect.
