THCA Effects
We have been absolutely loving the THCA disposable vapes from our shop. Have you tried THCA yet? You may have been hearing some mixed information regarding the effects of THCA. Read on to learn more about THCA, and what to expect from this cannabinoid.
In the meantime, discover the effects of THCA for yourself with our THCA disposable vapes.
What is THCA?
THCA is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis. It’s the acidic form of delta 9 THC. Unlike other cannabinoids, like delta 8, THCA is naturally abundant and occurs in large quantities. In its raw, original form, THCA is not psychoactive. In order to enjoy THCA in this form, you would need to consume raw flower, or a specially made tincture or edible.
Decarboxylation
Notice I mentioned THCA’s raw, original form. THCA completely changes once heat is added. This is because THCA contains a carboxyl ring which makes it incompatible with our CB1 receptors. These receptors, located primarily in the brain and central nervous system, determine whether or not we experience a high from cannabinoids.
Since THCA is not able to attach to these receptors, there is no high. But, once heat is added, the carboxyl ring is eliminated, and THCA transforms into the famously psychoactive THC. This process is known as decarboxylation. Without the carboxyl ring, THC is the perfect shape to form a secure attachment with our CB1 receptors, which is why THC makes us high.
Effects of THCA
As I mentioned, THCA is not psychoactive in its unheated, raw form. This makes the effects of THCA more comparable to CBD. It’s an ideal cannabinoid for those looking to experience the benefits of THC sans high. THCA may potentially be a great cannabinoid for medical patients, though more research is needed.
Post-Decarb
If you’ve ever smoked weed, you’ve already experienced THCA that’s been converted to THC. Ever made edibles? The whole reason you decarb your flower in the oven before making butter is to “activate” the THC by transforming the THCA. The heat to decarb THCA can come from a lighter, a vape, or the oven. So, what can you expect from smoking one of our THCA vapes? You can expect that the effects of the decarbed THCA will be the same as the effects of THC. By the time you inhale, the THCA will have ceased to exist, and you will be inhaling THC.
Classic effects of THC can include altered sense of time, boost of creativity, euphoria, drowsiness, relaxation, and appetite stimulation. Side effects can include red eyes, dry mouth, and lethargy. For some, side effects can include paranoia and anxiety. Whatever you typically experience from THC, you can expect to experience the same from our THCA vapes.
Try THCA
If you’re ready to experience the effects of THCA for yourself, then bite into a nugget and have at it! If you’d rather enjoy the effects of THC, then try one of our THCA vapes. Like I said, by the time you inhale, the decarboxylation will have already taken place, and you’ll be inhaling THC. Our vapes are available in indica, sativa, and hybrid to offer you an ideal experience for any time, any vibe. Plus, we’ve selected four delicious flavors so you can savor your moment before the high even hits. Choose from Orange Creamsicle, Papaya, Purple Punch, or Pink Lemonade.
Like all of the products on our site, our THCA vapes are lab tested. We even share the results with you on our page. Shop smart, and enjoy our consistent, reliable products without sacrificing your high.
The bottom line
The effects of THCA in its raw, unaltered form are comparable to those of CBD. THCA is ideal for those who are looking for relief, without the high. However, for those of us who want to get lit, the magic of decarboxylation easily transforms THCA into THC. Post-decarboxylation, you can expect THCA to behave like THC because by that time, it will be THC. So, in terms of THCA’s effects after heat has been added, you can expect the same effects that you would experience from THC. Try it out for yourself with our THCA disposable vapes.
