Cannabis has been a plant used by humans for thousands of years, both for medicinal and recreational purposes. However, it was in the mid-20th century that the molecule responsible for the plant's psychoactive effects was discovered: delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This finding was the work of Israeli chemist Raphael Mechoulam<\/strong>, who devoted much of his career to the study of cannabis and its components. In this article, we will explore the life and work of Mechoulam, known as the \"father\" of THC.<\/p>\n

Raphael Mechoulam's work has been fundamental to the field of cannabis research. His discovery of THC and its effects on the human body has led to new research into how cannabis can be used to treat diseases such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
