slowly transforming it into THC. However, the amounts of THC that are already formed on the plant when it is harvested are very low. In order to transform the vast majority of THCA to THC, the plant needs to be fully decarboxylated. This happens ...
The most common naturally-occurring forms of CBD and THC are their acid forms: CBDa and THCa. Raw THCa is not psychoactive. It must be heated to form THC in order for it to become psychoactive. Here at Endoca, we believe that oils containingcannabidiolic acidare more effective than those ...
As crops mature, naturally occurring plant enzymes convert CBGA to CBCA (cannabichromenic acid), CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), and THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid).15 Over time, heat and sunlight convert the acidic cannabinoids to their nonacidic, active forms.13 Delta-9 THC is the more ...
CBD and CBC. Enzymes in a young cannabis plant break down CBGA or cannabigerolic acid. It then turns into cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabichromene acid (CBCA), or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA). Once one of
CBGA is found across all cannabis strains as the acidic precursor of three other cannabinoids: Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, or THCA Cannabidiolic acid, or CBDA Cannabichromenic acid, or CBCA Shutterstock The Scarcity of CBG Once a cannabis plant matures, a group of enzymes breaks down the CBGA...
Researchers have uncovered several acidic precursors in cannabis: THCA, CBGA, and CBDA. As the so-called “mother cannabinoid,” CBGA is the origin of all our favorite recreational and medical cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. Other acids are intermediaries in the process. Before CBGA becomes...
How is Delta-8 Sourced? Delta-8 THC is sourced through specific methods that extract or convert cannabinoids to isolate this compound. There are two primary methods: Cannabis Plant Extraction:Delta-8 THC can be extracted directly from the cannabis plant, particularly strains that naturally contain ...
CBN, unlike these other cannabinoids, doesn’t directly originate from CBG, the precursor molecule, but instead comes from THCA’s oxidation. Some earlier research shows CBN could havevery mild psychoactive properties, whereas other research suggestsit doesn’t have any. ...
Decarboxylation is the process of removing a carboxyl group and releasing carbon dioxide. By decarbing the raw cannabis flowers, you’re basically helping THCA become THC. This process is usually used when making oil and butter. Todecarb kief, you’ll need to follow these two steps: ...
Is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) really the “cancer killer” that it’s hyped up to be, or is it just another THC-rich concentrate? Here’s what we do (and don’t) know.
