Active ingredients
Though the main psychoactive chemical compound in cannabis is Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the plant is known to contain about sixty cannabinoids, including two others of particularly high concentration, cannabinol (CBN) and cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is a precursor to THC, and CBN is a product of the degradation of THC by exposure to oxygen. Differences in the chemical composition of cannabis varieties may produce different effects in humans. Synthetic THC, called dronabinol, does not contain CBD, CBN, or other cannabinoids, which is one reason why its pharmacological effects may differ significantly from those of cannabis preparations.

Most commonly available marijuana contains below 8% THC. Selective breeding and modern cultivation techniques like hydroponics have produced varieties with more than 25% THC (compare to: http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/bullet...3_page009.html). With varieties containing below 2% THC, such as those specifically cultivated for use as hemp, smoking may produce lightheadedness or mild headache but not inebriation. The THC content is also affected by the sex of the plant, with female plants generating substantially more resin than their male counterparts. Seedless varieties derived from unpollinated female plants have high THC content and are traditionally known as sinsemilla (Spanish: "without seed").
