What is THC?
The easiest way to understand THC is by understanding the plant differences of the Marijuana plant vs the Hemp plant. Because of the upbringing and laws in place, the majority of the population see them as the same plant but this is very incorrect. It's not your fault, we have just been very very misinformed.
Stay with me because this exact example helped me have a gigantic "ah-ha" moment in understanding what THC is and more importantly, which plant it is NOT in.
It's easiest to picture the category of Citrus plants. For the obvious example; an orange, grapefruit, lemons and so forth are all part of the Citrus family.

What does THC do?
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects.

Concentrations of THC in cannabis
Cannabinoid receptors are concentrated in certain areas of the brain associated with thinking, memory, pleasure, coordination and time perception. Remarkably, THC attaches to these receptors and activates them. According to NIDA, this then affects several different sensors and systems such as a person's memory, pleasure, movements, thinking, concentration, coordination, and sensory and time perception.
THC is one of many compounds found in the resin secreted by glands of the marijuana plant. More of these glands are found around the reproductive organs of the plant than on any other area of the plant. Other compounds unique to marijuana, called cannabinoids, are present in this resin. One cannabinoid, CBD is non psychoactive, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, and actually blocks the high associated with THC.
