If you’re looking to experience some of the perks of THC without the high, thca weed is what you want. This marijuana extract has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties for some people, as well as an appetite stimulant and nausea abatement.

How Does THCA Work?

The primary way thca weed converts to THC is through a chemical process known as decarboxylation. This happens when a cannabis plant is exposed to heat, or sunlight. The most common decarboxylation process involves roasting weed in the oven.

Unlike THC, THCA does not bind to the CB1 cannabinoid receptors that produce psychoactive effects. This means that thca won’t get you high and is also less likely to show up on a drug test.

How Do You Enjoy THCA Weed?

You can find THCA weed in several forms, including raw cannabis extracts and tinctures. Alternatively, you can use a transdermal patch to take your daily dose.

How Does THCA Show Up on a Drug Test

THCA won’t show up on a drug test unless you expose it to heat. When you smoke a joint, pack a bowl, hit a bong, rip a Volcano bag, click your Puffco, or use any other cannabis product that comes in contact with heat (like your lighter, vape pen battery, or quartz dab nail), THCA will begin to convert to THC.

How to Dose THCA Weed?

When it comes to dosing THCA, it’s important to start small. Then, you can slowly increase your dose until you find your THCA weed ‘sweet spot’. Whether you prefer to smoke a joint, vape a THCA vape oil, or dab a THCA crystal, a good starting point is one milligram per hour.
