cis-Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol ((-)-cis-Δ9-THC) is an isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol found in the Cannabis plant but in lower quantities than the more well-known trans isomer. Formation of cis-THC could take place in process of epimerization associated with acid-catalyzed cyclization of CBD to THC. It has similar psychoactive effects to trans-Δ9-THC in tests on mice, but with only around 1/5th the potency.
