Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol (Δ9-THCC, (C1)-Δ9-THC) is a phytocannabinoid found in Cannabis pollen.[1] It is a homologue of THC with the pentyl side chain replaced by a smaller methyl group. Unlike THC, THCC has negligible affinity for the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid 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 the TRPA1 calcium channel which plays an important role in pain perception,[2] and it has been shown to produce analgesic effects via activation of spinal TRPA1 channels.[3][4] THCC was studied by Roger Adams as early as 1942.[5]
