What is THCP? The Potent New Cannabinoid On The Block

The cannabis world is always evolving, and new cannabinoids are making their way into the spotlight. One of the most talked-about lately is THCP — short for tetrahydrocannabiphorol. If you’ve been hearing the buzz but aren’t sure what makes it different from regular THC or THC-A here’s your guide to help you get a better understanding of what it means.

The Basics: How THCP Was Discovered

THCP was first identified by Italian researchers in 2019 while studying a medical cannabis strain. What surprised scientists was how structurally similar it is to THC, yet it binds more effectively to the body’s CB1 receptors — the same receptors responsible for that euphoric “high.”

How Potent is THCP?

Here’s the eye-opening part: studies suggest THCP may be up to 33 times more active at CB1 receptors than Delta 9 THC. That doesn’t mean you’ll feel 33 times higher — but it does mean THCP can be more potent at lower doses compared to other cannabinoids.

Effects You Might Notice

Because THCP is so effective at activating cannabinoid receptors, the effects can be more intense and longer-lasting than standard THC. Reported experiences include:

• Stronger euphoria

• More pronounced relaxation

• Enhanced body sensations

• Longer duration of effects

Like all cannabinoids, your experience will depend on your tolerance, body chemistry, and consumption method.

Is THCP Legal?

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived THCP with less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC is federally legal. However, state laws vary — and they can change quickly — so it’s always smart to check your local regulations.
