What is THCA?
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw and live cannabis. It is the precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis.
THCA Chemical Structure and Formation
THCA is formed naturally inside the trichomes of cannabis plants. It is a carboxylic acid form of THC, meaning it has an extra carboxyl group (COOH). When THCA is heated through smoking, vaping, or cooking, it undergoes decarboxylation, losing its carboxyl group and becoming THC.
What is Delta 8 THC?
Delta 8 THC is a hemp cannabinoid known for delivering a smoother, less intense, clear-headed high, compared to Delta 9 THC. It offers mild euphoria, relaxation, and stress relief without the intense effects some users feel from traditional cannabis. In fact, when Delta 8 THC edibles are consumed, it is about two-thirds as potent as Delta 9 THC. For example: a 50mg Delta 8 THC edible is equivalent to taking 25-35mg of Delta 9 THC, in terms of effects. Legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, Delta-8 is a popular choice for those seeking a balanced and functional experience.
