Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a terpenoid found in cannabis.^[9] It is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis and one of at least 113 total cannabinoids identified on the plant. Its chemical formula C₂₁H₃₀O₂ includes compounds,^[10] the term THC usually refers to the delta-9-THC isomer with chemical name (−)-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol. It is a colorless oil.
