Scientific Basics of THC
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a major component of the cannabis plant and belongs to the group of cannabinoids. It primarily works by binding to the CB1 receptors of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a central role in regulating various physiological processes. THC was first isolated in the 1960s and is known for its psychoactive properties. In Germany, the THC content in CBD products is limited to a maximum of 0.2% to avoid psychoactive effects.
