Description
Simple molecular structure of THC, one of the main psychoactive cannabinoids found in cannabis.
The model is roughly 83mm wide.
In the Fusion 360 file you can change dimensions, thickness and more by changing the parameters.
Fun Facts!:
Two of the most abundant compounds in cannabis are cannabinoids and terpenes. While the psychoactive compounds in cannabis are cannabinoids, terpenes can also be psychoactive; for example, the active terpenoid in catnip (nepetalactone*).
Trichomes
Cannabis has small structures called trichomes where THC and other cannabinoids are concentrated. Because they can be insecticidal and/or repellent they provide a layer of physical and chemical protection against pests.
Many other plants have trichomes. Some cacti, for example, use trichomes the similarly and also use the increased surface area they provide to help absorb water from the environment.
