What is THCa?Updated 24 days ago

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in raw cannabis. On its own, it’s non-intoxicating—meaning it won’t get you high. But once you apply heat (like when you smoke or vape), THCa converts into THC, the compound responsible for the classic cannabis high. That’s why it’s often called the precursor to THC.

When heated, THCa delivers the familiar high you know and love—plus all the unique effects of the specific strain you're enjoying.
