What is THCA?
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is the acidic precursor to the most infamous cannabinoid on earth, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is derived from the "mother of all cannabinoids," cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), which also produces the important cannabinoids cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabichromenic acid (CBCA).
