I am not 100% sure but I think that THCV is what is present in cannabis..when heated up it converts to THC which is why it has to be smoked or heated up into some type of fat to be active..when THC is ingested though I think it metabolizes differently and becomes something else that is more psychedelic.
THC-acid is what is present in cannabis. Cannabis plants don't biosynthesize any THC. THC is formed when THC-acid is decarboxylated under heat light and storage.
THC when ingested orally undergoes first pass metabolism and much is transformed into 11-hydroxy-THC. 11-OH-THC is believed to be more psychoactive then regular THC and thus may be why oral cannabis can be more psychoactive.

No many people seems to know difference between indvidual canabinoids.
Weed high in THC makes you high
Weed high in CBN/CBD makes you stoned
The vast majority of cannabis that people smoke contains very little CBD. CBD is not psychoactive. In order for CBD to effect the effects of THC you need doses in a ratio of 1:1 or higher. This is how the drug sativex was designed. CBD is an interesting medicinal compound but its not psychoactive. CBN is also barely psychoactive at least from animal and binding studies. I know of no person who has injested pure CBN. I do know people who have injested CBD is doesn't do anything to your mind.
Fiber type cannabis has more CBD in it.
No one really knows why different kinds of cannabis have such different effects. I think it has to do with both cannabinoids and terpenoids. But more research is being done in this area.
Quote:Who knows something about THCV canabivirine Does it really exist They are few very psychedelic weeds out there. ILPT dying to know more about THCV and people who experienced strongly psychedelic weed wit loads of closed eyes visuals etc. He does only once in his life
Cannabis from southern africa has more THCV in it then types in Europe or the US. Although most cannabis contains trace amounts of the compound. Its significantly higher in African strains.
THCV has interesting pharmacology. It seems to behave as an antagonist at CB1 receptors. But cannabinoid pharmacology is complex sometimes their effects are biphasic.

i actually heard that pure THC was more dangerous as to causeing psychotic problems, or something like that.
It depends on the person. If you take too much it can cause dysphoria and anxiety.
