THCjd: Is this New cannabinoid the “most psychoactive”?

In the cannabis world, every day there is something new to learn. In today’s blog, we will enter the intriguing world of THCjd which is a newfound cannabinoid. THCjd, a new yet popular cannabinoid, is quickly becoming a topic of keen interest in the cannabis community. It has emerged in 2020 and swiftly captured the attention. It has its distinctive psychedelic effects which have made it stand out from the crowd. Curious to know more? Let’s dive into it. 

What is THCjd?

What is THCjd

THCjd is essentially a type of THC that's more potent due to its longer side chain. It is derived from Hemp plants and is estimated to be 19 times more psychoactive than THC. So clearly, it is setting a new standard in the cannabinoid potency scale. The longer side chain is responsible for the more psychoactive effects of THCjd. It is just like there is more space for the molecule's interaction due to the long alkyl chain presence.

Structure of THCjd

The THCjd molecule has an 8-carbon chain, and this particular length is believed to be ideal for creating a strong connection with receptors in the body. Generally, the stronger this connection, the more intense the effects of the substance are expected to be. This molecular arrangement not only enhances its potency but also when combined with other well-known cannabinoids like Delta 8 and Delta 10, creates an even more profound effect.  THC-JD cannabinoid is structurally quite close to THCP which has seven carbons in its side chain.


While there are claims suggesting that this cannabinoid naturally occurs in the cannabis plant, there's no solid evidence to back this up. Unlike THC and CBD, which are commonly found and extensively researched, THCjd is categorized as a minor cannabinoid due to its relatively scarce presence.

Yes, THC-JD will surely get you high. But if you ask about how long or how high, the answer lacks any strong evidence. We are just assuming its effects by comparing it to the other cannabinoids belonging to the same family.

Effects of THCjd

There has been very little research done on THCjd as compared to THC and CBD. Hence, to claim anything about its specific effects is not possible. However, based on preliminary information and anecdotal reports, THCjd is believed to have certain effects, which should be approached with caution until more comprehensive studies are conducted:

  • Increased Potency: THCjd is theorized to be significantly more potent than regular THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). This has made it popular out of all the present cannabinoids. This is because it consists of a longer side chain of carbon and hydrogen, ultimately, making it an interesting topic for researchers.
  • Psychoactive Effects: Like THC, THCjd may have psychoactive effects. It may be more than THC as it is believed to possess 19% more binding affinity with the body’s receptor than THC. This may deliver effects like altered perception, mood changes, and cognitive alterations. However, the intensity and nature of these effects, as compared to THC, are not yet fully understood.
  • Potential Therapeutic Benefits: Like other cannabinoids, THCjd might offer some therapeutic benefits. However, what these benefits could be, and how they might compare to those of THC or CBD (Cannabidiol), is yet to be determined after well-researched data.

Like other cannabinoids, THCjd may help you for better health. As it is said to be more potent than THC, it may support your physical and mental health. With more binding affinity with the CB1 and CB2 receptors, it may provide you relief from chronic pain and inflammation. All go to the relaxing effects section of THCjd. With the ability to calm the body and strongly ease and relax it, THCjd might come out as the most effective cannabinoid in the future. It may also help you in treating sleep disorders and insomnia.


With stronger effects than Delta 9 THC, people with mental health problems like depression, and PTSD may also get positive results. You just need to be sure that you always consult a doctor before using any cannabis product and pay attention to the dose taken.

THC-JD Side effects

  • Intense mental effects
  • Dryness in the mouth
  • Occurrence of headaches
  • Effects duration ranging between 2 to 4 hours
  • Potent physical sensations
  • Potential for nausea

Is THC-JD safe?

Is THC-JD safe?

THCjd is safe like any other cannabinoid. You just need to take care of a few things. Buy THCjd from trusted sellers that have transparent safety testing. Check for third-party testing whenever you are buying any cannabis product online. Also, always start from a low dose and increase it gradually. Here are the pinpoints to consider while buying any THCjd product:

  1. Examine Laboratory Reports: Reviewing the lab report should be your first step toward the product you're thinking of purchasing. A lab report is the only way to ensure the product contains what it claims.  If you are specifically seeking THCjd, this might be a significant issue. 
  2. Read Reviews of the Product and Brand: You may not need to check only about THCjd products, but reviews of all products on a general basis will help you trust the brand. Trustworthy and reputable brands always have good reviews on their websites. 
  3. Be Wary of Exaggerated Claims: As previously discussed, the current understanding of THCjd is limited. Therefore, any grand claims about its effects, beyond basic assertions such as 'it's more potent than regular delta-9 THC,' are likely not backed by solid evidence or could be completely unfounded. Be skeptical of bold statements regarding THCjd, as these can be warning signs of misinformation." .

Will THC-JD show up on a drug test?

Will THC-JD show up on a drug test?

We recommend that you should not consume any cannabis product before your drug test. If you want to ask specifically about THCjd, our answer will be “We are not sure”. Based on the current facts about THCjd, we can’t comment on whether it will show up on a drug test or not. However, there is a possibility that it might get converted into THC-COOH after processing, much like delta 8 or delta 9 THC. You only need a small amount of this metabolite in your system to test positive. Why take any risk? You should stop consuming cannabis products before your drug testing to avoid any complications.


As far as a drug panel is concerned, there’s no difference between marijuana and psychoactive hemp.


Conclusion

Just a Herb

THCjd presents a complex and intriguing addition to the cannabinoid family. With its potential for heightened potency and psychoactive effects, it opens new avenues for both recreational enjoyment and possible therapeutic applications. However, given the limited research and understanding of THCjd to date, caution and informed decision-making are advised. It's crucial to approach this cannabinoid with an understanding of its potency, possible side effects, and the legal and health considerations involved. As with any emerging cannabis product, staying informed and consulting healthcare professionals is key to safely navigating this new terrain.
