Demystifying the Process: How THCA Transforms into THCThe Role of Heat in the Transformation The transformation of THCA into THC is not a feat that happens instantaneously or in a vacuum – quite the contrary, it necessitates a specific condition to occur. This condition is heat. In fact, the role of heat in this transformation is so pronounced that the process even has its own name: decarboxylation. Decarboxylation: The… Read more

What is THCA? THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the non-psychoactive acid form of THC found in cannabis plants. Unlike THC, THCA does not cause a high when consumed. However, this is not the case once heated, so keep reading. In its raw form it has been shown to have potential therapeutic benefits similar to other cannabinoids like CBD. One of the main differences between THCA and THC is that THCA must be converted into THC through… Read more
