Thujone's mechanism of action on the brain is not fully understood although certain structural similarities between thujone and tetrahydrocannabinol (the active component in marijuana) led to some speculation in the 1970's that both substances have the same site of action in the brain. Doubt was cast on this hypothesis almost immediately, and more recent scientific research has completely discredited this idea.
