Overview - Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THC-a)

Description of Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THC-a)

Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (Delta-9-THCA) was discovered in 1969. It is the precursor to THC, the primary psychoactive phytocannabinoid. However, in its acid form, Delta-9-THCA is non-psychoactive.


Delta-9-THCA is found in fresh cannabis leaves, flowers, and related products. It becomes progressively decarboxylated and thus psychoactive during drying and when exposed to significant heat when heat-processed into oils or smoked. 


Delta-9-THCA is better absorbed systemically than THC (M. Hannon et al., 2020). 


Delta-9-THCA can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and induce therapeutic effects on the central nervous system (CNS) (J. Kim et al., 2023)
