How Weed Works: THC

The video discusses Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active compound in cannabis, and its effects on the brain. THC binds to cannabinoid receptors, affecting neuron communication and memory. The video explores why plants produce THC, suggesting it may protect against UV radiation, act as an antibiotic, or deter herbivores. It humorously speculates on THC's effects on animals, like deer and insects, potentially causing them to forget where they found cannabis.
