Myth Busting: Do THCa Gummies Work?

Myth Busting: Do THCa Gummies Work?

Is this myth keeping you from experiencing THCa gummies?

Not everyone has the luxury of recreational legal cannabis. While many states throughout the country and our friends up north can legally purchase classic THC (Delta-9 THC), others simply don’t have that option.

Don’t fret; herb lovers. There is always a way to obtain a legal, natural buzz from the plant we love the most. Ever heard of THCa? This relatively ‘new’ cannabinoid isn’t so new after all. It’s always been part of the cannabis and hemp plants. But now, science has found a way to extract THCa and create products with it.

I know what you’re thinking; it’s likely just another way for companies to capitalize on the plant and sell you something that might disappoint. We’re thrilled to say that when it comes to THCa, that’s not the case. Read on to learn more about THCa vs. Delta-9 THC, and if THCa gummies genuinely work.

Before breaking down the differences (and similarities) between THCa and THC gummies, let’s understand the cannabinoids first.

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Non-psychoactive means it does not produce the euphoric effects involved with THC. This fact alone might steer individuals away from trying THCa, but they’re missing one critical aspect: THCa turns into THC when heated.

When THCa is exposed to heat through smoking or vaping, it converts to THC, which is psychoactive and responsible for the “high” sensation. THCa gummies do not undergo this heating process, but THCa is decarboxylated in order to produce those psychoactive effects in edibles.

The Effects & Benefits Of THCa

THCa gummies are praised for their potency and compliance, making them a no-brainer to consumers looking to experience Delta-9 THC without breaking the law.

In terms of effects, they produce similar euphoric and relaxing sensations as classic Delta-9 THC, considering THCa turns into Delta-9 THC to produce those familiar effects we know and love.

Beyond psychoactive effects, THCa also has potential anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, and neuroprotective properties, making it great for pain relief, anxiety, and insomnia.
