Resumen

Se hizo un estudio comparativo de la capacidad del Δ9-tetrahidro-cannabinol y de sus metabolitos monohidroxilados en producir effectos similares a los de la marihuana cuando son inyectados intravenosamente a humanos. Se encontro que la hidroxilacion en la posición 11 no cambio la potencia, en la posición 8β la redujo, y en la posición 8α la abolio por completo.
