THCa is an acronym for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid. It is a non-intoxicating chemical present in cannabis, and is the precursor of the well-known hallucinogenic chemical present in cannabis, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabis plants generate THCa rather than THC in their natural state. THCa concentrations are often greater in fresh, undried cannabis plants.
THCa undergoes a chemical change and turns into THC when cannabis is heated or decarboxylated (for example, by smoking, vaping, or cooking). This conversion happens when a carboxyl group (COOH) is removed from THCa, resulting in the formation of THC. When THC forms, it gets inhaled or smoked and quickly absorbed through the lungs. It then goes to the brain and other regions of the body where it binds to cannabinoid receptors, especially CB1 receptors, causing a variety of effects. Effects differ from person to person and are impacted by factors such as dose, individual sensitivity, and strain potency.
Cannabis and hemp plants consist of dozens of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are chemicals that affect the body in various ways.
Two well-known cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
A few different forms of THC are in cannabis plants.
The most abundant form of THC is delta-9. When people refer to the effects of THC, they’re usually talking about delta-9.
Other forms of THC, such as delta-8 and delta-10, have similar chemical structures to delta-9, but their effects are usually different.
