(1E,4E,8E)-2,6,6,9-tetramethylcycloundeca-1,4,8-triene
Cannabis is a psychoactive plant that primarily acts through its cannabinoids, which bind to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system. The substance affects various neurotransmitter systems and can induce relaxing, analgesic, and appetite-stimulating effects. Consumption carries moderate risks, particularly regarding mental health and potential for dependence.

Cannabis ist eine Ganzpflanze mit komplexem pharmakologischem Profil, das deutlich über den Effekt von isoliertem THC hinausgeht. Der primäre psychoaktive Wirkstoff Δ9-THC wirkt als partieller Agonist an CB1-Cannabinoidrezeptoren im ZNS (besonders Basalganglien, Hippocampus, Kleinhirn, präfrontaler Kortex) und CB2-Rezeptoren im Immunsystem. Cannabidiol (CBD) hat keine direkte CB1-Agonistwirkung, moduliert jedoch allosterisch CB1 (negative Modulation — reduziert THC-induzierte Angst und Tachykardie), antagonisiert GPR55, hemmt den endocannabinoiden Abbau (FAAH-Hemmung) und wirkt als 5-HT1A-Agonist. THC/CBD-Interaktion ist klinisch relevant: höhere CBD-Anteile im Produkt dämpfen anxiogene und psychotomimetische THC-effects. Terpene (Myrcen, Limonen, Beta-Caryophyllen, Linalool) und Minorkannabnoide (CBN, CBG, THCV) tragen zum "Entourage-Effekt" bei — synergistische pharmakologische Interaktionen, die Reinsubstanz-THC pharmakokinetisch und -dynamisch von Ganzpflanzenprodukten unterscheiden. Geraucht beginnt die Wirkung innerhalb von Minuten durch rasche pulmonale Absorption; oral (Edibles) verzögert sich der Onset auf 30–120 Minuten wegen hepatischer First-Pass-Metabolisierung, bei der THC zu 11-Hydroxy-THC (stärker, länger wirkend) umgewandelt wird.

Avoid uncertain dosage claims and do not infer numbers when data is unclear.
Dose sensitivity varies greatly between individuals. Body weight, tolerance, route of administration, combinations, and pre-existing conditions significantly affect outcomes. These figures are not dosing recommendations — they describe reported ranges, not safe amounts.
