Cannabis was identified as having 483 different chemical constituents. As many as 66 of them are called cannabinoids, cannabis compounds that play an important role in the quality of cannabis as a drug.

Besides cannabinoids, there is also THC (Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) as the most active compound in cannabis psychology.
