THC and Tetrahydrocannabiphorol both come up in the same conversations. THC: Tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly abbreviated THC, is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. Tetrahydrocannabiphorol: Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid that shares the core structure of Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) but carries a seven-carbon (heptyl) alkyl side chain rather than the five-carbon (pentyl) chain of THC.
Tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly abbreviated THC, is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It belongs to a family of naturally occurring cannabinoids and, in its most common delta-9 form, produces the characteristic euphoria and altered perception associated with the plant. THC also has recognized medical uses, including relief of chemotherapy-induced nausea and stimulation of appetite, and it is available as the pharmaceutical dronabinol.
Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid that shares the core structure of Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) but carries a seven-carbon (heptyl) alkyl side chain rather than the five-carbon (pentyl) chain of THC. It was first isolated and characterized in 2019 from the Italian medicinal cannabis variety FM2 by Citti, Cannazza and colleagues [1]. The extended side chain confers markedly higher binding affinity at the cannabinoid CB1 receptor, with a reported inhibition constant near 1.2 nM, roughly a factor of thirty greater than that of THC, and this affinity is comparable to the potent synthetic full agonist CP55940 [1]. In the classic cannabinoid tetrad in mice, THCP reproduced the THC-like profile of hypomotility, analgesia, catalepsy and hypothermia at lower doses than THC, indicating high in vivo cannabimimetic potency [1]. THCP occurs in cannabis only in trace amounts and now appears widely in unregulated consumer products, prompting active work on its detection, metabolism and safety [3][6][7][8].
both fingerprints on one instrument; where the marks line up the two compounds work the same lever, where a slot goes dark only one of them touches it. read straight from each entry's affinity table; nothing here is invented.

strengths are the entries' qualitative ratings (strong / moderate / weak); Ki and EC50 figures appear where an entry records them.
easiest to source: THC is currently listed by more trusted vendors (1), so it's the simpler one to get hold of. for effects and safety, read each full entry; this is educational, not medical advice.
