GABA vs. THC vs. Anandamide
Download Without Watermark With Free Membership
Description
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

Mechanism of Action:

THC is a psychoactive drug found in the Cannabis plant and is the active component of marijuana
THC mimics the neurotransmitter anandamide by binding to pre-synaptic cannaboid receptors
This causes hyperpolarisation of the neuron, preventing neurotransmitter release and hence prevents post-synaptic excitation


Effects:

Increased sensory intensity of perceived sensory data
Sense of emotional well-being
Reduced concentration and impaired judgement of time and space
