Minor Cannabinoid Series – A Guide to THC

THC: The Catalyst of Cannabis
Because sometimes, the high is the whole point.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the original headliner—the psychoactive compound that put cannabis on the map. While minor cannabinoids are often about subtlety and support, THC is about sensation. It’s the driver, not the co-pilot.

For decades, THC has defined the cannabis experience, but there’s more nuance to it than just “getting high.” When used with care—and paired with the right cannabinoids and terpenes—it can be euphoric, expansive, therapeutic, and wildly creative.

That’s why THC remains the foundation of every Drops product. From our Enhanced lineup to our Classic Strains lineup—which feature 100% strain-specific live rosin—we build around THC with intention, letting each strain’s natural chemistry shine. The result isn’t just strong—it’s expressive.

What Makes THC Special?

The Primary Psychoactive Compound
THC is what gives cannabis its signature high—but that effect can range wildly depending on the dose, strain, and cannabinoid balance.

Small amounts can be uplifting, social, and energizing. Larger doses can be relaxing, immersive, and sedative.

Flexible and Customizable
THC works best when supported by other cannabinoids. Add CBD, and you mellow it out. Add CBG, and you sharpen the focus. Add CBN, and you drift into deeper rest.

It’s the most versatile compound in the plant—especially when you stop thinking of it as a solo act.

Essential for the Entourage Effect
THC is a key player in the “entourage effect,” the synergistic interaction between cannabinoids and terpenes that shapes how cannabis actually feels.

Without THC, the effects of other compounds often feel muted. It’s the activator, the catalyst, the connective tissue that makes cannabis feel whole.

The Science (So Far)

THC is one of the most studied cannabinoids, and researchers continue to uncover its benefits beyond just recreation:

• Pain relief: THC interacts with CB1 receptors in the brain and nervous system to modulate pain signals.

• Appetite stimulation: Known for “the munchies,” THC can be a powerful tool for patients needing to boost appetite.

• Mood elevation: In moderate doses, THC is associated with euphoria, laughter, and reduced stress.

Like any powerful tool, though, it’s best used with intention. For some, too much THC can lead to anxiety or mental fog. That’s why we focus on getting the balance just right.

Why We’re Excited About THC

THC is more than a high—it’s a gateway to creativity, connection, and presence.

In our Classic Strains lineup, we let THC take center stage, guided by the natural terpene and cannabinoid profile of a single strain of live rosin. It’s a way to experience THC in its purest form—untainted, unblended, and true to the plant.

In our Enhanced Drops, we tune THC for targeted effects—boosted with minor cannabinoids like CBG, CBC, and CBN to deepen focus, amplify relaxation, or spark energy.

Whether you’re microdosing for clarity or enjoying a full-strength moment of bliss, THC is what makes cannabis feel alive.
