Δ⁹-Tetrahydrocannabiorcol (Δ⁹-THCC, (C1)-Δ⁹-THC) is a phytocannabinoid found in Cannabis pollen.^[1] It is a homologue of THC and THCV with the alkyl side chain replaced by a smaller methyl group. Unlike THC and THCV, THCC has negligible affinity for the CB₁ and CB₂ cannabinoid receptors because of the smaller methyl group and does not have psychoactive effects as a result, but conversely it is significantly more potent than THC or THCV as an activator of the TRPA1 calcium channel which plays an important role in pain perception,^[2] and it has been shown to produce analgesic effects via activation of spinal TRPA1 channels. ^[3]^[4] THCC was studied by Roger Adams as early as 1942.^[5]
