Description

This book offers an in-depth exploration of Cannabis sativa L., focusing on its chemical constituents and their role in the drug's psychosomatic effects. Cannabis has a complex chemistry, with over 480 identified compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other bioactive substances. The primary focus is on the cannabinoids, particularly Δ9-THC, which is responsible for the plant's psychoactive effects. With the growing interest in cannabis for both medicinal and recreational use, the book presents a detailed analysis of the major cannabinoid types, their chemical structures, and pharmacological properties, offering insights into their therapeutic potential and toxicity.

Abstract

Cannabis sativa L. is a plant with a rich history of use, known for its wide range of chemical constituents, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. This book reviews the chemical classes found in cannabis, with a particular focus on the C21 cannabinoids, such as Δ9-THC and cannabidiol (CBD), which have significant psychoactive and therapeutic properties. It discusses their chemical structures, biological activities, and the impact of synthetic cannabinoids and endocannabinoids. By examining the vast array of compounds in cannabis, this book sheds light on the plant's complex pharmacology and its evolving role in medicine and recreational use.
