Of the more than 100 cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the one principally responsible for the psychoactive and intoxicating effects of cannabis consumption.
Live cannabis plants contain Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA). THCA is the non active version of THC. When THCA is decarboxylated, it loses its carbon dioxide molecule, and is then converted to the active THC. This results in the effects we associate with consuming THC. It also means that cannabis in its fresh form is not yet active with THC.
