cis-Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol ((-)-cis9-THC) is an isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol found in the Cannabis plant but in lower quantities than the more well-known trans isomer. It has similar psychoactive effects to trans9-THC in tests on mice, but with only around 1/5th the potency. The equivalent Δ8 isomer is also known as a synthetic compound, but has not been isolated from Cannabis plant material. All four cis/trans isomers are known, though only the (6aR,10aR) and (6aS,10aR) enantiomers are psychoactive, while the others retain activity at targets such as GPR18 and GPR55.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
