Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is a type of chemical called a cannabinoid in the cannabis plant that may have potential medicinal use. It’s also popular because you can heat it to change it into another type of cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or delta-9 THC.
Marijuana and hemp are two types of cannabis plants that are a part of the same species. THCA is found in the flowers of the cannabis plant. There’s usually more THCA in fresh cannabis plants, especially in raw cannabis buds, compared to dried plants.
There’s a lot of talk around THCA because people use it to get a high effect. You can get THCA from buying hemp, which isn’t under the same controls as marijuana. Then, after heating it up, it converts into THC and get a high effect.
THCA and THC are different cannabinoids. One can get you high and the other can’t.
When THCA is heated, smoked, or vaped, it turns into THC. THC is the main ingredient in cannabis that can give you that high, euphoric feeling.
THCA vs. Delta-8
Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8 THC) is a cannabinoid in the cannabis plant just like THCA. There aren’t large amounts of it in the cannabis plant. But it’s still THC, so it can get you high.
Delta-8 is typically made from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD)—a chemical that doesn’t contain THC. Delta-8 is often thought of as an herbal extract of hemp. When delta-8 is labeled as being from hemp, you may not think it can make you feel high, but it can. Most people say delta-8 and delta-9 produce a similar high. THCA alone can’t make you feel high.
THCA vs. Delta-9
Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9 THC), also referred to as THC, is the leading psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, which means it can make you feel high. It’s a cannabinoid that’s stronger than Delta-8. There’s more delta-9 in the plant compared to delta-8.
If you were to extract THCA and consume it, it may have therapeutic effects helpful for pain relief for nausea. It won’t make you feel high though.
If you smoke or vaporize THCA, it instantly changes into THC, which can produce a high.
There’s a natural way that THCA can be turned into THC. Over time, if a cannabis plant spends too much time in the sun, the heat and oxygen will change the THCA molecules into THC.
Regardless of whether you consume THCA or THC, both can have effects on your body.
