Cannabis

and its main compounds

Cannabis is a versatile plant that has been used for millennia for medicinal, recreational, and industrial purposes.

It consists of several active elements called cannabinoids, with the most well-known being THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). Each of these cannabinoids interacts with the human body's endocannabinoid system, providing a wide range of effects. In addition to THC and CBD, the cannabis plant contains other lesser-known cannabinoids, such as 10-OH, which also have potential effects on the body. With the advancement of research and the growing acceptance of cannabis in various parts of the world, we are learning more about these compounds and how they can be used. Below, we explore in detail one of these emerging cannabinoids and the legal status of THC in Spain.

What is 10-OH+?

10-OH+ is a newly discovered cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the cannabis plant, but can also be derived from other cannabinoids such as CBD. It is similar to CBD but has a different chemical structure, giving it unique properties. It has been suggested that it may have relaxing effects, relieve pain, and improve sleep.
