Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is the precursor to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. THCA is converted to THC when it is heated or decarboxylated.

​

THCA has a number of potential therapeutic benefits, including:

​

• Anti-inflammatory: THCA has been shown to reduce inflammation in animal studies.

• Pain relief: THCA has been shown to reduce pain in animal studies.

• Antiemetic: THCA has been shown to reduce nausea and vomiting in animal studies.

• Anxiolytic: THCA has been shown to reduce anxiety in animal studies.

• Neuroprotective: THCA has been shown to protect the nervous system from damage in animal studies.

THCA is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it can cause some side effects, such as dry mouth, dizziness, and fatigue. It is essential to talk to your doctor before taking THCA, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
