====== Delta-9-THC ======

**Delta-9**-**T**etra**h**ydro**c**annabinol

===== Quick Description =====

**Occurrence:** Delta-9 is activated THCa. While Delta-9 does occur naturally on the plant, this is in small amounts. When a user smokes the plant, the THCa converts to Delta-9-THC. Smoking Delta-9-THC does not do any other conversions, and may even destroy the molecule.

**Psychoactive:** //Yes// - The primary reason you get high. Secondary is [[cbn|CBN]] and the [[Entourage Effect|Entourage Effect]] of terpenes/cannabinoids.

**Effects:** You get high! If eaten, the liver converts this into [[11-hydroxy-THC|11-hydroxy-THC]], which is about 10 times the potency.

**Potency:** Depends on dosage, presence of terpenes, and presence of cannabinoids.

**Discovery:** 1941

**Note:** - Keep in mind, Delta-9 is NOT what is on Cannabis. THCa is on Cannabis, and only when smoked does it become Delta-9. This is why you cannot just eat a nug to get high.
