Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabolic Acid (D9THCA)

What is Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabolic Acid?

Even if you don’t know much about cannabis, there is a good chance you might have heard about Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

THC, also is known as tetrahydrocannabinol, is the natural chemical in the cannabis plant that is responsible for its psychoactive effect. The abundance of the compound depends on the strain of cannabis consumed.

Certain strains are bred and cultivated solely to get higher levels of THC, make the plant more potent. Here is an amusing thing, you won’t get high off just eating a raw cannabis plant, no matter how potent the plant is.

This is because there is no THC in a raw cannabis plant. So what is present in the raw cannabis plant? Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THCA) is present. Do not confuse the two of them because they are not the same.

THCA is a cannabinoid that, until recently, has always been confused with THC. THCA was first identified by Professor Friedhelm Korte at the Univerity of Bonn in 1965. THCA is a non-psychoactive compound that is found in the fresh leaves and flower of the cannabis plant.

This is the reason why eating raw cannabis leaves won’t get you high.

The feelings of being stoned, or high, can be felt once the raw cannabis plant is dried and heated. This process is known as decarboxylation. THCA is converted to THC once the plant is exposed to heat, THCA loses its acidic carbonyl to become THC. So when you smoke cannabis, the THCA converts to the psychoactive form THC.

THCA is the non-psychoactive form of THC that is found in the cannabis plant. Many clinical studies have shown the potential of THCA in treating epilepsy, chronic pain, and many other ailments.

There is a reduced study because of the legalization issue facing the cannabis plant.
