Understanding the Effects of THCA
23rd Feb 2023
If you’re looking for a legal way to purchase hemp and get all the benefits of THC, it’s time to explore THCa flower. In its raw form, THCa flower doesn’t have the same psychotropic properties as THC, but if you smoke it, vape it, or send it through any other means of decarboxylation, however, it will have the same effects as THC.
THCa is tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, the precursor to Delta 9 THC. The only difference in the molecular makeup between the two is that THCa has one additional carboxyl group. This impacts how the cannabinoid interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system. Expose THCa to heat and that extra carboxyl group will drop off, meaning THCa will convert to Delta 9 THC.
Aside from the intoxicating effects of THCa that come once it converts to THC, THCa also stands to offer a host of other potential benefits.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Inflammation is a problem for many individuals and can show up as acute or chronic. Some research suggests that THCa may have anti-inflammatory properties and help contribute to the reduction of inflammation in both real-life settings as well as in a laboratory.
Anti-Nausea Properties
Through its CB1 receptor action, raw cannabis juice may help you have issues with nausea. In fact, it may be more effective in this manner than THC due to its lack of psychoactive side effects and potency for this expressed purpose.
Analgesic Properties
Many people report that their use of THCA products has lessened or eliminated chronic and/or temporary pain. A specific cell receptor is triggered by the substance, resulting in a lower pain stimuli response. In both real life and laboratory settings, many people have found much-needed pain relief by incorporating products like THCA flower into their routines.
Note: Always research your state laws and regulations before purchasing and/or using THCA.
