Tag: Cannabinoid potency

Cannabis studies indicate that THC can degrade by as much as 12% within the first 100 days if improperly stored. This significant loss of strength is why understanding how edibles lose potency is crucial for both safety and a consistent experience.

According to a 2019 study, the cannabinoid THCP (tetrahydrocannabiphorol) has up to 33 times more binding affinity for the brain's CB1 receptors than Delta-9 THC [1.2.1]. This fact raises the critical question for many: **Is delta 9 or THCP stronger?**

While the high from Delta-9 THC typically lasts 2 to 3 hours when inhaled, THCP's effects often last significantly longer, with some users reporting experiences stretching 4 to 6 hours or more from modest consumption. This potent cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP), is known for its extended duration and amplified psychoactive effects.
