As mentioned above, THCA and THC have a slightly different molecular mass—THC is 87.7% of the mass of THCA. As THCA converts to THC, the total weight of the newly formed cannabinoid makes up less of the total dried weight of the herb. Next, we need to consider the efficiency of conv...
To turn THCA into THC requires a function of temperature over a period of time – Putting the plant matter at a specific temperature and letting it essentially “cook” for a defined stretch of time without letting it get too hot or stay in the heat for too long. This is the decarbing...
CBG is more abundant in young cannabis plants—THC and CBD are more abundant in mature cannabis plants as CBGa eventually converts into THCa, CBDa, and other cannabinoids. CBG is non-psychotropic like CBD. THC is the main psychotropic compound in marijuana plants. CBD and CBG are psychoactive...
Decarboxylation is the magic that makes cannabis a potent additive to food. Simply put, it’s a chemical reaction that is achieved through heating up raw cannabis to a temperature at which it releases a carboxyl group and becomes psychoactive. THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the active comp...

some states count the related substance Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) to measure compliance, and others do not. (Note that when determining the legality of cannabis, it is the total concentration of delta-9-THC that is measured, not the overall weight of the product listed on the label....
Decarboxylating your cannabis flower, whether it’s CBD or THC-rich, ensures its acidic compounds (THCA and CBDA) convert into its parent compounds (THC, CBD). For example, THCA is non-intoxicating, but when activated (heated), the THCA converts into THC, responsible for the intoxicating ...
