Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for the "high" sensation. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the brain, binding to cannabinoid receptors, which can alter mood, perception, and cognition. Additionally, it may affect physical sensations and appetite, and can have varying effects depending on the dose and individual tolerance.
