When a cannabis product is labeled as containing 20% THCA, it means that 20% of the product's weight is composed of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), the non-psychoactive precursor to THC. THCA converts into THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects, through a process called decarboxylation, which occurs when the product is heated, such as during smoking or cooking.
