What is THCA?
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw cannabis flowers. It is the precursor to THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis.
Does THCA Get You High?
No, THCA itself does not produce a high. It is only when it is heated that it converts to THC, which is psychoactive. This process is called decarboxylation.
