With all the buzz around THCA, it’s easy to assume it behaves just like THC. But does THCA get you high? The short answer is no—and here’s why that matters.
THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, unheated form of THC. It’s naturally found in freshly harvested cannabis and hemp. Unlike THC, THCA is non-psychoactive, which means it won’t make you feel intoxicated or “stoned” when consumed in its natural form. So if you’ve ever heard that someone juiced raw cannabis and felt relief without feeling high, they were likely experiencing the effects of THCA.
The Science Behind the High
You might be wondering, “If it’s so close to THC, why doesn’t THCA make you feel high?” The difference comes down to heat. When you smoke, vape, or bake cannabis, you trigger a process called decarboxylation. That’s just a fancy way of saying THCA turns into THC—and that’s when the high happens.
Without that heat, THCA stays in its raw, non-intoxicating form. That’s good news for folks who want to explore the wellness benefits of cannabis without altering their mental state.
What THCA Can Still Do for You
Even without the high, THCA is no slouch. Users and researchers alike are exploring its potential for managing inflammation, easing nausea, and supporting brain health. Many people include raw THCA in their wellness routines through tinctures, juices, or capsules. It’s a smart move for anyone who wants the benefits of cannabis, minus the mental fog.
