      Hi Lydia, the chemical is called etrahydrocannabinol which is a phychoactive drug which will interact on your nervous system. Consumption of cannabis will increase disorder in your nervous system like difficulty in learning, be receptive, able to have hallucination, paranoia…

      In therapy, the same molecule is used, however in a really lower dose to reduce phychoactive effect of it.
