THC is the primary, there are many other secondary. Keep in mind legit medical testing on each compound is not permitted in the US. Scientists are forbidden grants or access to cannabis. Unless they are doing a study to show its harmfull effects. Other studies will not be finished. Check the studies during the Nixon Admin.
No one prescribes THC that is not synthetic. They do prescribe marinol, which is synthetic thc. It is taken orally which does not help those with nausea (they will throw it back up), takes up to an hour to kick in, does not really help much with appetite, and most importantly you can overdose on it and die. Which for shits and giggles if you take one, then throw it up 10 minutes latter you can not take another for risk of the overdose.
Companies are not permitted to extract THC nor distribute it, etc. It is a class 1 narcotic, meaning no medical use. Coke is a class 2.
