	Tetrahydrocannabinol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		(THC) is the active chemical in cannabis and is one of the oldest hallucinogenic drugs known.
		The mode of action of THC is still not properly understood, although it is known that of the two stereoisomers (mirror images), the (-)-form (the left-handed form of the molecule) is 10-15 times more potent than the (+)-form.
		Also, as THC increases the appetite and reduces the vomit response, it is starting to be used in the treatment of anorexia and other eating disorders.

	THC Limits for Food, Part II
		With regard to THC limits in food, the data situation is fortunate, as the daily THC intake of chronic Cannabis consumers (50-200 mg or 1-3 mg/kg BW, respectively) already clearly exceeds the daily doses of relevance to this study (0.1-0.2 mg/kg) by a factor of 10-15.
		THC crosses the blood-brain barrier comparatively easily and accumulates in fatty tissues from where it is re-released only slowly into other tissues, such as the blood.
		The higher survival in the THC group was primarily due to a decreased incidence of cancer.

	Tetrahydrocannabinol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		THC has analgesic effects that, even at low doses, cause a "high", and cannabis was once commonly used to treat pain.
		THC receptor distribution in the rat CNS is different from that of humans, meaning that there is the significant possibility that toxicity in humans varies from the published animal LD studies.
		THC, the main active component in marijuana, may protect the brain from the ravages of Alzheimer's disease, U.S. scientists reported.

	Evaluating Interference of THC in Hemp Food Products
		The presence of THC in hemp foods has raised concern over their potential interference with employee drug-testing programs in the U.S. Studies conducted in 1995—1997 showed that eating hemp foods may in fact cause positive urine tests for marijuana.
		THC was consumed in 15 milliliter (mL) doses–equivalent to one tablespoon (0.6 mg in 20 mL)–of four different blends of hemp and canola oils.
		The table shows the daily THC doses administered during the study and the corresponding amounts of hemp oil and hulled seeds–containing 5 and 2 ppm THC, respectively–that would have to be eaten to ingest the same amounts of THC.

	THC Synthesis - Overview
		The syntheses of THC-A, THC-B, or THC-C are all based on the condensation of olivetol (5-(n-amyl)-resorcinol) with a second component which forms the left-hand and center ring of the THC molecule.
		The THC containing an n-amyl side chain on the right-hand ring is identical to the active component of hashish or marihuana.
		The synthesis is as for THC, except that in method I pentanonitrile is replaced by hexanonitrile, while in method II 1-bromo-butane is replaced by an equivalent amount of 1-bromo-pentane.

	Synthetic THC / Marinol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		When THC is swallowed, the effects vary considerably, both from one person to the next and in the same person from one episode to another.
		In a study of elderly patients, the large dose of oral THC needed to reduce nausea and vomiting produced severe psychoactive effects, reducing its utility as a medicine.
		Still another failure of synthetic THC medications is their lack of the multiple ingredients which appear in natural marijuana.

	Drugs and Human Performance FACT SHEETS - Cannabis / Marijuana ( D 9 -Tetrahydrocannabinol, THC)
		THC is highly lipid soluble, and plasma and urinary elimination half-lives are best estimated at 3-4 days, where the rate-limiting step is the slow redistribution to plasma of THC sequestered in the tissues.
		THC is rapidly and extensively metabolized with very little THC being excreted unchanged from the body.
		A majority of THC is excreted via the feces (~65%) with approximately 30% of the THC being eliminated in the urine as conjugated glucuronic acids and free THC hydroxylated metabolites.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) inhibits lytic replication of gamma oncogenic ...
		The effect of THC on Kaposi's Sarcoma Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) replication was measured by the Gardella method and replication of herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) of monkeys, murine gamma herpesvirus 68 (MHV 68), and herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) was measured by yield reduction assays.
		THC specifically targets viral and/or cellular mechanisms required for replication and possibly shared by these gamma herpesviruses, and the endocannabinoid system is possibly involved in regulating gamma herpesvirus latency and lytic replication.
		THC binds to and activates either one of the two cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) located on the surface of both brain and lymphoid cells [17-26].

	Inhaled THC Produces Better Blood Levels than THC by Mouth
		It might be argued that the association of THC plasma concentrations to the incidence of nausea and vomiting is not causally related to an antiemetic effect of THC, but rather due to increased absorption of oral doses by the gastrointestinal tract in patients experiencing less nausea and vomiting from other causes.
		Similarly, elevations of THC plasma concentrations achieved primarily by the inhalation route were also associated with reductions in the incidence of nausea and vomiting.
		Some reduction in THC effectiveness may be attributable to the normal variation of nausea and vomiting responses in a patient observed for multiple courses and to the fact that only THC responders were studied in Phase II.

	HOW DOES MARIJUANA AFFECT THE BRAIN?
		THC is the main active ingredient in marijuana because it affects the brain by binding to and activating specific receptors, known as cannabinoid receptors.
		THC also affects the production, release or re-uptake (a regulating mechanism) of various neurotransmitters."(2) Neurotransmitters are chemical messenger molecules that carry signals between neurons.
		"When THC attaches to receptors in the hippocampus, it weakness the short-term memory,"(5) and damages the nerve cells by creating structural changes to the hippocampus region of the brain.
