What is THCA?

THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the raw, non-psychoactive form of THC found naturally in cannabis plants. Think of it as the plant’s original form of THC, before it gets heated or "activated".

On its own, THCA won’t get you high. But when you heat it up—whether by smoking, vaping, or cooking—THCA transforms into THC through a process called decarboxylation. That's when the magic happens, giving you the euphoric, relaxing, and potent effects that cannabis is known for.

Since THCA itself is non-intoxicating and contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight, it's federally legal as hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill. That means you can enjoy potent THC-like effects legally when using THCA products like flower, concentrates, pre-rolls, and vapes.

THCA Effects: What Does It Do?

By itself, THCA has few noticeable effects, making raw THCA products. 

However, THCA turns into THC when heated (this happens when you heat concentrates), and THC creates the signature euphoric and relaxing effects associated with the cannabis sativa plant.

What are the Benefits of THCA?

While THCA isn’t typically consumed in raw form, it offers therapeutic benefits even before it’s converted to THC.

While more research is needed to fully understand its effects, preliminary studies and anecdotal reports suggest THCA may have the following: 

• Anti-inflammatory Properties: THCA may have stabilizing properties on the inflammatory response, making it potentially beneficial for those with conditions involving inflammation.
• Neuroprotective Effects: Early research suggests that THCA might protect nerve cells, potentially protecting against neurodegeneration.
• Anti-Nausea Properties: THCA could be helpful in stimulating appetite, making it a promising option for those with conditions or undergoing treatments that suppress the appetite. 
• Muscle Relaxation: THCA may provide mild muscle-relaxing effects, which indicates it may have therapeutic potential for promoting mobility and comfort and addressing muscle tension or spasms.
• Non-Psychoactive: Unlike THC, raw THCA doesn’t cause a high, making it an option for those seeking therapeutic benefits without psychoactive effects.

While THCA isn’t an FDA-approved treatment for any medical condition, and far more research would be needed before it can be regarded as such, early studies show it has therapeutic potential. 

THC, the converted form of THCA, offers many of the same benefits plus others. Research suggests THC has potential benefits for physical discomfort, sleep, stress, nausea, appetite, and more. 

What are the Side Effects of THCA?

While THCA is deeply relaxing and has both therapeutic and recreational benefits, it also has the potential to cause adverse side effects (due to the fact that it converts into THC, which is psychoactive):

Potential side effects of THCA include:

• Difficulty thinking and speaking
• Anxiety
• Dry mouth
• Increased appetite
• Rapid heart rate
• Memory loss
• Red eyes
• Slowed reaction time
• Sleepiness

THCA vs. THC: What’s the Difference?

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is essentially the acidic form of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). When THCA is heated (decarboxylated), it loses its acid ring (the ‘A) and becomes THC. 

In this way, THCA has very few effects in raw form, but is “activated” when heated, turning into THC and giving the signature high effect.

THCA and THC differ in three primary ways: their origin in the cannabis sativa plant, their potency, and their side effects.

1. Origin: All THC starts as THCA. Therefore, THCA levels in young cannabis sativa plants are much higher, but as the plant grows, much more of this THCA becomes THC. By strategically breeding and harvesting the plant, growers can get high-THCA, low THC strains.
2. Strength: Raw THCA does not create a noticeable mental effect, while THC (“activated” THCA), does create a euphoric, relaxing head high. THC is the cannabinoid primarily responsible for the well-known effects of the cannabis sativa plant.
3. Side effects: Not much is known about the side effects of raw THCA. However, anecdotal evidence suggests THCA may cause some people to feel slightly drowsy, while causing others to feel energized. THC, on the other hand, may create side effects such as anxiety, dry mouth, memory loss, difficulty thinking and speaking, red eyes, delayed reaction time, heart rate increases, and increased appetite. 

Is THCA Legal?

Yes, THCA products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight are considered hemp which are federally legal in the U.S. under the 2018 Farm Bill. 

However, state regulations can vary, so we recommend verifying local laws before purchasing THCA products.

Will THCA Show Up on a Drug Test?

Yes. Because THCA converts to THC upon heating, consuming THCA products can lead to positive results on drug tests. THC metabolites typically show up on standard cannabis drug screenings.

Even raw, unheated THCA might trigger positive results due to its chemical similarity to THC, although this isn't as clearly established. Therefore, if you are regularly tested for drugs, we strongly recommend you avoid using THCA products altogether.

How Long Does THCA Stay in Your System?

The duration of time THCA stays in your system is dependent on a variety of factors, including metabolism, how often you use it, and how you consume it. 

Once THCA is heated, it converts to THC, and the body metabolizes it such:

• Occasional Users: THC metabolites may remain detectable for up to 3–5 days in urine.
• Frequent Users: With regular use, THC metabolites can linger for 10–45 days or more.
• Other Testing Methods: Hair tests may detect THC for up to 90 days, while blood and saliva tests typically have shorter detection windows (a few hours to a couple of days).

Apart from the major factors listed above, factors like hydration, body fat percentage, and overall health can play a role in clearance times. 

If you have to undergo drug testing randomly or regularly, we recommend you avoid consuming THCA products.
