THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, is particularly attracted to fatty tissues in the body. This is because THC is lipophilic, meaning it is soluble in fat. When THC is ingested or inhaled, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and can accumulate in fatty tissues such as the brain, liver, and reproductive organs. This storage in fatty tissues contributes to the long half-life of THC in the body, leading to its prolonged effects.
