Increased Relaxation Much like some other cannabinoids, such as CBD, THCA may have the ability to help you feel more relaxed and at ease. While some people state that they enjoy this benefit from THC, the intoxicating effects of cannabis can limit the times and places where you’re capable of enjoying it. THCA allows for that potential relaxation without any impairment. Discomfort Relief Research into the ability of THCA to relieve physical discomfort is ongoing, but some studies point to the cannabinoid’s potential for such an effect. We previously mentioned the research that determined THCA may help the body respond to inflammation. Inflammation can cause various forms of physical discomfort, including joint aches, muscle soreness, and more. THCA’s potential to reduce it may mean that it can lessen your physical pain. Positive Mental Support The ability of THCA to protect the mind has not only been researched, but it has also returned some fantastic results. A 2017 study published in the National Library of Medicine looked at the mind-protecting abilities of six different cannabinoids and found that “THCA shows potent neuroprotective activity.” Nausea Relief Like a few other cannabinoids, THCA may have the ability to ease your stomach when you’re feeling queasy. In fact, it’s speculated that THCA may be even more effective than THC and other cannabinoids at providing this helpful benefit. Treating Seizures There has been a fair amount of research into the ability of various cannabinoids to provide anticonvulsant effects, and the results for CBD were so positive that it earned its first FDA approval for an epilepsy medication called Epidiolex. Research into similar capabilities from THCA has returned some positive results as well. Other Effects If you were to heat up an indica strain of THCA cannabis to the point of decarboxylation, you would then open the door to an array of other effects, such as a sense of euphoria, increased relaxation, altered perception, a stimulated appetite, and more. If the strain of THCA cannabis were a sativa, you would experience many of the same effects, along with some decidedly different ones. Sativas are known to provide a burst of energy and creative thinking rather than the sedative, relaxed feeling Indicas are known for.

You know that they’re closely related and that one is the precursor to the other, but beyond that, what’s the difference between THC and THCA? THC and THC-A are identical in terms of their chemical structure, except for the extra carboxylic acid group in THC-A. This relatively small difference accounts for some significant discrepancies between the two compounds, and those differences are focused primarily on how consuming them might affect you. THC is renowned for the euphoric high it provides, and while you won’t get any of that from consuming THC-A, you may be able to enjoy more incredible therapeutic benefits from THC-A than THC in some areas. Research into the cannabinoid’s ability to help the body respond to inflammation yielded fascinating results, as did a study into its neuroprotective qualities. Additionally, while one of the original applications of medicinal cannabis may have been THC’s power to treat nausea in chemotherapy patients, THCA may be the more effective nausea-fighting compound. Both have been shown to provide this benefit, but a study of the two found that THCA was capable of reducing nausea symptoms in rats at lower doses than THC.

THC-A, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is one of the well over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp and cannabis plants. It is the precursor to Delta-9 THC, which is the cannabinoid primarily responsible for the high cannabis offers, as well as some of the potential therapeutic effects it is known for. This cannabinoid is among the most abundant in the cannabis plant, as it is one of the two compounds created as a result of the breakdown of CBGA, also known as cannabigerolic acid or “the mother of all cannabinoids.” The other resulting compound is CBDA, or cannabidiolic acid, the precursor to CBD. Although it is found in minimal amounts, THC-A is also present in the hemp plant. Methods have been developed to extract and concentrate THC-A using legally cultivated hemp, which helps make any products containing THC-A concentrates legal as well. At least, it makes them more widely legal than recreational cannabis currently is.
