Displeased with the lack of in-depth reports of THCp, or reports by short-lived accounts, I decided to take the plunge (and investment) into some myself. As I do not smoke cannabinoids (I much prefer the effects of orally ingested cannabinoids, as I suffer chronic pain, and it is simply much more effective for such), I was limited in what was available to me, and bought a pre-made tincture containing 20mg THCp in an MCT carrier oil, dosed as 100ug/0.1mL. As I am trying to keep this unbiased, I am not naming the company on this review, but I can provide more information should it be necessary. This arrived on a day that I had one of my chronic migraines rating in on a 7/10 on my pain-rating scale. Instead of taking one of my Ubrelvy “last-resort” abortive tablets, I thought it would be a good chance to trial out the THCp in an attempt to save a tablet/$100. Here are my findings~~

~8/6/2021~

6:10pm 750ug of THCp was ingested in an MCT carrier solution. An additional amount of MCT was ingested to aid in absorption, along with a small piece of bread, as it has been noted to significantly aid in the absorption of other cannabinoids in similar solutions. Standard THC daily intake currently consists of an average of ~200-400mg d8, or ~150-200mg d8THC-O-acetate, in edible form in the evenings.

6:28pm The first finite effects of a cannabinoid have begun to manifest. A slight shift in perception behind the eyes, almost descriptive as a slight pressure, is present. This shift is very minor, but is noticeably present. A quicker onset than d8/d9, more comparable to the onset effects of THC-O-acetate, in edible form*.

*For myself at least, the minor onset effects of THC-O-acetate begin quicker than with straight d8/d9.

6:34pm I caught myself pacing the house as I typed the above, and I do not normally pace unless cannabinoids have been ingested. Light akathisia, you could say.

6:45pm I have been dealing with some bouts of tinnitus recently, and have noticed that they are most certainly exacerbated with d8/d9 intake. I had interest to see wether or not this would apply to the THCp as well. I was not having tinnitus prior to ingestion, and it is now coming on quite strong. It would appear that it is exacerbated by THCp, in the same manner of which it is exacerbated by d8/d9 (however, this does not surprise me). Psychological effects are still predominantly limited to the minor onset effects mentioned earlier in this report.

6:56pm Some light palpitating, I do not know wether to attribute to the THCp, or to the pain.

7:03pm As I got up from the chair that I had been lounging in to plug in my phone, the feeling of the air hitting my skin was much more pronounced (as well as a heightened awareness of the coolness of the air in the room). There is a slight pressure noticeable in the base of my neck.

7:10pm 60min check-in. Light onset effects manifested quite quickly, however, it appears that like with most cannabinoids, THCp takes awhile to kick in edible form. As of now, my pain has risen from a 7 to an 8, and I have had to switch my lights in the house from dim, to completely off. Definite noticeable perception changes in temperature, I have put on a light hoodie (these changes do not feel unpleasant, I wear hoodies even in the hottest summer months, they’re just comfortable). At this point, it is too early to give any real opinions on this compound. At dosing, I tried to leave some wiggle room to titrate dosage upwards, if need be. Time will tell over the next 30-60min. Regarding pain, the best analgesia I have noted from a cannabinoid so far has been THC-O-acetate, indisputably. I am still very interested to see the potential of THCp, once it fully manifests, especially compared to a pharmaceutical cannabinoid such as my previously prescribed analgesics ~ dronabinol and nabilone. I will end this 60min summary with a reminder to anybody reading that THCp is a new, untested, experimental cannabinoid, and if one chooses to research it, must follow proper protocols of harm reduction and safety.

7:19pm Some slight turning of the stomach, descriptive almost like one would have if undergoing symptoms of anxiety. Very minor. I do not feel anxious however, and I am all-too-familiar with GAD.

7:26pm A little more of the classical cannabinoid sensation is presenting. Focus on surroundings feels slightly enhanced, as well as more enhancement of tactile sensation. Something weird, but I’ll comment on it because cannabinoids typically do the opposite (and I’m sure full manifestation will see this as so), but I am acutely more aware of the saliva in my mouth. These effects are still minor, but more noticeable than before. I feel as if I have taken a puff of average-quality cannabis at this moment in time (not taking entourage into account). I will try to find my cuff, so that I may start taking BP readings, I should have been doing so from the start. Resting heart-rate clocking at 66bpm.

7:39pm Pain levels are down to a 6.5. We are about the same everywhere else. I was sipping a quad shot of espresso through this however, which may have temporarily dropped the pain. I am not attributing this to the THCp, at this moment in time. I will take a supplemental dose at approx 7:50pm, 100min.

7:50pm Pain level is still around a 6.5. Manifestation of the THCp appears to be about the same, and as 90min has been sufficiently surpassed, it is at this point in time that I feel safe to begin exploring further with this compound. As this cannabinoid has notable potency reported, and unknown dosage guidelines, I will simply bump it up with another 750ug. I do not want to step into bumping this with milligrams until/unless I know a baseline for a more “stoning” effect. Hopefully, such dosages are not required. This was again, consumed with a little extra MCT, and a piece of bread. It will be interesting to see if this helps jumpstart the previous dose, oftentimes with boosters, the original dose will present more after I eat the small meal intended for the booster dose.

8:06pm I am noticing the feeling of my feet more and more as they stick to the hardwood in the living room. My general perception of things is starting to shift a tad bit more as well. I now feel as if I have taken two puffs of average-quality cannabis. Pain is down to a 6 ~ tinnitus is still presenting, though I expect it will be present for the remainder of this trial. I am still pacing a majority of the time as I type this out. It is indisputable, to me, that cannabinoid activity is present.

8:10pm 120-minute mark. Now, I’ve had a lot of cannabinoids in my day, and essentially all of them manifest orally within 120 minutes. There have been times that this hasn’t been the case, but it is a good rule-of-thumb. So I am going to assume the first dose of THCp has fully manifested by now. This could very well not be the case, there is just too little known about this compound at this point in time. So far, nothing that could not be handled off of 750ug, some slight onset effects, and some slight analgesia, although my pain does seem to be slowly creeping back in, so as I previously stated, that relief could have been due to the caffeine intake. Sorry, it was not my intent to mar results, but this pain level was a very high one to initiate oral cannabinoid treatment with. I will continue to monitor the effects of THCp as the night progresses. At this moment in time, I do not have any positive, nor any negative comments to make about this compound. It is most certainly orally active in a carrier, and at very low dosages, take care of consuming this cannabinoid.

8:26pm There are some minor slips in my short-term memory consistent with cannabinoid intake. I forgot to go and look for my blood pressure cuff (I will go and do that after this entry). Resting heart-rate of 67bpm.

8:31pm 106/69 ~ As it is finally pretty much dark outside, I am going to see how a walk does for my head. A different environment will be interesting from an observational standpoint as well.

8:44pm It’s a very hot night out on this walk tonight, but oddly the heat is not getting to me. I definitely don’t mind that. I feel more open towards nature at the moment, and more connected with my dog. Things seem to have a bit more beauty to them, something more to appreciate if you look for it. I don’t know, I also just love nature. Just some thoughts.

8:50pm 60-minute mark for the second dose. I think for the average medical patient, this would be a good dose (1.5mg total intake). On the walk with my dog, there was a marked playfulness, and elevated empathy, in addition to already-presenting analgesia, enhanced tactility, and heightened awareness. At this point, it feels as if I have smoked a joint of average-quality cannabis. I am no longer experiencing tinnitus. My migraine is back up to a 7, however. As I stated, I feel that a dosage such as this would be sufficient for the average medical patient. This stated, the chronic pain that I deal with is quite severe, and when I have it, generally requires high dosages when treating with cannabinoids. I will continue to allow my second dose to manifest for a bit longer, and continue on from there if I feel it can be further explored in a safe manner.

8:53pm Almost home, my eyes are now beginning to feel itchy, and slightly heavier than normal.

9:20pm 90-minute mark for the second dose. A booster dose of 750ug was taken, for a total of 2.25mg. This is closer to the original expected needed dose, of around 2mg. The cold, stale half-of-a-sandwich from the fridge that was eaten with this dose tasted much better than it looked.

9:27pm Something about a small meal just manifests doses for me, I swear. Definitely feeling dose 2 much more now just in the past seven minutes. I now feel like I have ingested an average-potency edible. Pain is down to a 4.5 on my rating scale. I am hoping dose 3 will have been the golden ticket here for pain deescalation once it begins to set in. But this is significantly better than a few hours ago. Concentration feels a bit more clear than d8/d9, at this moment in time, but I do not consider these effects very heavy, as of yet. Tinnitus presenting.

9:33pm Unless there are any significant changes, I am going to watch a TV show with my family before they go to bed.

9:39pm The effects of the THCp are beginning to manifest quite stronger. It now feels as if I have ingested a typical 75mg d8 edible. There is a warmth to d8/d9 that THCp appears to be lacking in. I do not find this uncomfortable, but I do think it would benefit from the entourage effect. Maybe we can explore with this later. Slight palpitations, resting heart-rate 78bpm, I’ll do bp after the show is over.

10:11pm Watching one more show I believe. This is a very lucid, clear-headed cannabinoid so far. Very very minimal brain fog compared to d9, or d8 even at that. I don’t know how that will pair with attempting to sleep later, but I also don’t feel the third dose has manifested as of yet. I will update after the show.

10:36pm My tinnitus has gotten a little worse, it’s tone has taken a slight clanging effect. Nothing extreme though, I much accept the sacrifice for pain relief. I have noticed some slight lethargy/couch-lock type effects beginning to onset, but I still feel a good sense of energy. This dose is very sativa-like, and it is not something that I am as fond of, being primarily a user of edibles. I am noticing some slight color enhancement to the shade of paint on the walls of the media room. Resting heart-rate is 89bpm.

10:48pm There is muscle relaxation with this cannabinoid at this dosage, but not as much as with other cannabinoids as when other present effects are presenting.

11:04pm Taste is very noticeably enhanced, here as I am eating a snack to ensure the manifestation of my third dose. I may not feel as motivated to eat as I seem to be on d8/d9, but the enhancement of food itself is most certainly still present.

11:26pm 120-minute mark missed by a couple minutes for dose 3. 750ug ingested with additional MCT, and a small snack. Pain level is at a 2, I am feeling quite a bit better pain-wise, and I will probably conclude my dosing for the night with this titration. I will continue to monitor and log effects until i have returned to baseline
