Tetrahydrocannabinol

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis and is being investigated for its neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties in treating Alzheimer s disease. The study found that low doses of Tetrahydrocannabinol alone improved some cognitive performance but also increased inflammation, highlighting the need for combination therapy.

The study found that people who consumed Tetrahydrocannabinol were more likely to recall words that were never shown to them and had more trouble completing everyday memory tasks. Even moderate amounts of Tetrahydrocannabinol may significantly interfere with memory.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products, like CBD, are found to lack evidence of efficacy for mental health conditions. This could negatively impact the market for THC-containing medicinal cannabis products.
