By redeyesonline.net

THC is the acronym for tetrahydrocannabinol, the main cannabinoid in cannabis that gives users the sensation of being “high.”

The history of THC dates back to 2727 BC, when records indicate that it was used by the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung.

THC throughout history was used for various purposes by the ancient Romans and Greeks, and in the Middle East and throughout the Arabic lands down to North Africa.

THC was not necessarily used for getting high, but instead was used as hemp to make clothing, ropes, and paper.

In addition to commercial uses, THC is also used for medical purposes.
