Alkaloids marihuana

In addition to the cannabinoids, there are a considerable number of noncannabinoid compounds present in cannabis, among which are various alkaloids, terpenes, phenols, flavonoids, and sugars. Whether these materials affect the actions of the cannabinoids in any way is unknown as yet. Whatever their contribution, however, the most important ingredient in marihuana is still delta-9-THC. 

In the Plants of the Gods (1979) [2] by R.E. Shultes and A. Hofmann (Hofmann was the discoverer of LSD), 14 kinds of hallucinogens are listed (Table 1). Among them, except for Cannabis (marihuana), all of the active hallucinogenic constituents described are alkaloids. 

According to the 1964 WHO classification there are 7 groups 1. alkaloids (LSD, mescalin, opium, etc.), 2. barbiturates and other sleeping drugs, 3. alcohol, 4. cocaine, 5. hashish and marihuana, 6. halludl-logens, 7. stimulants or antidepressants (e.g. amphetamines).
