About THC-P
THC-P is short for tetrahydrocannabiphorol and is scientifically known as (-)-Trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabiphorol. It is a naturally occurring cannabinoid, an analog of THC, and has been said to be 33x more active at cannabinoid 1 receptors than regular Delta-9 THC.
THC-P works by interacting with your body’s essential endocannabinoid system, which contains two types of cannabinoid receptors: CB1 and CB2. In order to have any effect on your endocannabinoid system, a cannabinoid needs to have at least three carbon atoms on their alkyl side chain. Delta 9 THC has five carbon atoms and THC-P has SEVEN, meaning that THCP could produce a much more intense high than D9 THC – as much as 33 times more intense, to be precise! THCP’s longer chain produces cannabimimetic properties far higher than Delta 9 THC, making it more potent.
Bottom line: THC-P effects are heightened compared to the effects of regular Delta-9 THC.
People find that THC-P effects are practically the same as the effects of Delta-9 THC, but that THC-P’s potency is much higher. Because of this, proper dosing is critical. THC-P can sneak up on you, taking as long as 30 minutes for effects to begin. If this is your first time trying THC-P, we recommend to start with a single puff, and wait a bit to gauge dose sensitivity. Once you have a feel for the effects and timing, you can increase your dosage if desired.
