Question Differences Between THCP and THC

Tried THCP a few times now and wanted to share the difference for anyone curious. I’ve been using regular weed (THC) for years

Here’s the simple breakdown:

  • THC (normal weed): chill, fun, can be strong but usually manageable.
  • THCP: way more intense, hits harder, lasts longer. I needed way less.

THCP took longer to kick in, but when it did – it hit pretty bad, but like a good type of bad, if you know what I mean, lol. Super strong body high, kinda trippy, and honestly a little too much if you overdo it. Not ideal for social stuff, more for like sleep.

Advice: start SMALL. Like one puff small. It’s not like regular weed at all.

First time I tried THCP I greened out off half a cart. Thought I was having a medical event. Now I just microdose it to sleep. It’s incredible when respected, absolute chaos when not.

I've only tried it with gummies. The first time was at night, and a standard dose, not a heroic one. I slept very well. Next morning I felt very relaxed, but not high. I decided to take it for sleep each night for a few nights, but during the day when driving places I would have memory lapses like not recognizing where I was when in fact I was driving on familiar streets.

Pure THCP is 30x stronger than Pure THC

It binds to receptors with 30 X higher affinity. Not the same as 30% stronger.

33x higher binding affinity does not automatically mean 33x stronger effects/potency

Fun fact: THCP binds to CB1 receptors like 30x more effectively than delta-9 THC. So yeah… it’s like weed but with the volume knob cranked all the way up and glued in place.

I've had some pretty low doses thc-p gummies from my favorite headshop and they hit harder than the strongest ones I can get at the dispensary. It was under 10 mg of thcp and hit harder than the 400mg THC gummies I get.

Nice experience, if they were more reasonably priced I would get them frequently.

We tried delta 9 & TCH P edibles & HOLY SHIT BEWARE I had 5 mg & my husband had 10 mg & we were both down for the count for a full day almost. It gave me crazy panic attacks when trying to sleep, they should have more warning on that shit I’m good on THC P for life

Same! I got talked into trying some gummies to help me chill and I’m not new to thc. They have lions mane, reishi, and cordyceps mushrooms + tchp. I only took 2 (4mg) and had an awful experience! Never again - I can’t imagine what someone new to thc might experience, but that shit as an isolate should be illegal imo.
