Cannabinoids
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
Dosi Cookies, like all strains of cannabis, contains a variety of cannabinoids, which are chemical compounds responsible for the plant’s effects on the human body. The two most abundant cannabinoids in Dosi Cookies are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid that is responsible for the euphoric and cerebral effects of the plant. In Dosi Cookies, the THC content typically ranges from 26-31%, providing a strong and long-lasting high.

Although the CBD content in Dosi Cookies is relatively low, typically ranging from 0.4-1%, it still provides some therapeutic benefits and helps to balance out the effects of THC.
THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinol Acid)

A 2016 study showed it could help kill cancer cells when combined with other cannabinoids and terpenes. (Fidyt, Fiedorowicz, Strządała, & Szumny, 2016)
