THCA, the un-decarboxylated, acid form of THC.
🌱
Under the right pressure, temperature, and depending on the interactions between the solvents, THCA will crystallize and separate from the terpenes, cannabinoids, fats and lipids. Since THCA is non pyschoactive, it is not illegal and a lot of companies have figured out how to isolate and market it.
🌱
THCA acts as a neuroprotective antioxidant, has antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antiemetic, and analgesic properties.
🌱
It’s largely unknown due to the fact that decarboxylation destroys most of the THCA and the most effective way to get it into your body is by putting raw flower in a smoothie. THCA produces no psychoactive effects.
🌱
Found to be beneficial at preventing Covid-19 by interrupting the spike protein from invading our cells.
If you wanted to get THCA into your system at home, you have a couple options. Instead of smoking your THC flower, you can add it to teas and smoothies. Since you skipped the decarboxylation process, this won't get you high. It will, however, give you the neuroprotective properties of THCA.
