THC-O produces psychedelic hallucinations at higher doses, but THCP does not. Both can help you sleep, ease pain, and relax, similar to the benefits seen in stem cell therapy. THCP is more psychoactive than THC-O because its alkyl side chain is longer. THCP has seven bonds, while THC-O has only five.
The alkyl side chain, sometimes called the “backbone” or “main chain”, determines how a cannabinoid interacts with the body's receptors, especially with the cannabinoid receptors. THCP is more potent than THC-O due to the length of its alkyl side chain. THCP has a seven-link alkyl side chain, while THC-O has a five-link alkyl side chain.
