Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol (Δ9-THCC,(C1)-Δ9-THC) is aphytocannabinoid found inCannabis pollen.[1] It is ahomologue ofTHC andTHCV with thealkyl side chain replaced by a smallermethyl group. Unlike THC and THCV, THCC has negligible affinity for the CB1 and CB2cannabinoid receptors because of the smaller methyl group and does not have psychoactive effects as a result, but conversely it is significantly more potent than THC or THCV as an activator of theTRPA1 calcium channel which plays an important role inpain perception,[2] and it has been shown to produceanalgesic effects via activation of spinal TRPA1 channels.[3][4] THCC was studied byRoger Adams as early as 1942.[5]
