THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC found in raw cannabis. It does not directly affect the brain in its natural form, as it does not bind to cannabinoid receptors. However, when heated, THCA converts to THC, which can interact with the brain's endocannabinoid system to produce psychoactive effects.
