THCA (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid)

THCA (Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is the non-psychoactive, acidic precursor to Delta-9 THC — the cannabinoid responsible for the cannabis “high.” THCA is found in raw, unheated cannabis and only becomes psychoactive after decarboxylation, a process triggered by heat (like smoking, vaping, or cooking).
