The authors hypothesize that decreased THC concentrations seen with chronic users carrying the T allele may be due to higher THC body stores that are slowly released back into circulation overtime, which suggests that T allele carriers may have milder cannabis withdrawal symptoms than non-T carriers [34c]. THC, the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, produces its psychoactive effects by binding to cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors in CNS.
