THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw and live cannabis plants. It is the precursor to THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, and converts to THC through a process called decarboxylation, typically triggered by heat. Research suggests that THCA may have potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-emetic properties, though more studies are needed to fully understand its effects and therapeutic benefits.
