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 with psychoactive effects. Initial in-vitro binding assay studies suggest that THCP may be up to 30 times more potent than delta-9-THC,[1][2] 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.

Subjective effects
The subjective effects have not been fully understood, but it is known that THCP boasts a longer alkyl side chain than THC,[3] which might contribute to it's ability to better connect with human cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2.[4]
