'''Tetrahydrocannabiphorol''' ('''THCP''') is a potent phytocannabinoid that is structurally similar to delta-9-THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. Like THC, THCP is a CB1 and CB2 receptor agonist ~~and is believed to have~~ psychoactive effects. Initial studies suggest that THCP may be up to 30 times more potent than delta-9-THC,<ref>https://www.livescience.com/new-potent-cannabinoid.html</ref> potentially leading to more pronounced psychoactive effects. However, the full extent of THCP's psychoactivity and how it compares to THC is still being researched.
