THC Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol; the main active ingredient in marijuana, which acts on the brain to produce its effects.
When marijuana is smoked, THC is rapidly absorbed through the lungs and enters the bloodstream in minutes. Once in the blood, THC is bound to blood proteins and carried throughout the body where it is either absorbed into body tissues (brain, heart, and fat) or transformed by the liver into the water soluble metabolites 11-hydroxy-THC and carboxy-THC. These water soluble metabolites, are readily excreted into the urine, with the inactive metabolite carboxy-THC being the predominant metabolite detected. THC tends to be stored in fatty tissues, it accumulates faster than it can be eliminated in chronic repetitive smokers.
