Questions
What is THCA?
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the precursor to the delta-9 THC cannabinoid – the main psychoactive component in cannabis plants. THCA doesn’t have psychoactive properties when ingested raw (unheated) and is considered a superfood that can be added to smoothies and salads. When exposed to heat, THCA converts to THC, which results in a unique set of psychoactive effects on the endocannabinoid system.

Is THCA legal?
THCA flower that maintains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC is considered hemp and remains federally legal. Some states have laws surrounding THCA, and it may be considered illegal, regardless of its source. At VIIA, all of our THCA products are made from Farm Bill-compliant hemp crops that have been tested for quality and purity, making them legal on a federal level.
Before purchasing THCA online, you must check your local laws, especially with the ever-changing cannabis policy.
What Are The Effects Of THCA?
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid is a unique cannabis compound in that it can produce two wildly different experiences, depending on how you use them. THCA is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid when consumed raw, such as in fresh cannabis juice or smoothies.
Raw THCA is understood to have many similar benefits as other cannabinoids, such as CBD and THC, when it comes to supporting the endocannabinoid system function for a healthy immune system, antioxidant properties, and mood support.
However, when heated (smoked, vaped, or cooked), THCA converts to delta-9 THC—the main psychoactive component of the cannabis plant.
This process is also called decarboxylation, and the effects of THC can include changes in perception, a sense of euphoria, deep relaxation, and a stimulated appetite.
If you’re curious about the multifaceted benefits of the hemp plant, we encourage you to shop from our THCA products above and try them for yourself.
How can you consume THCA?
THCA can be consumed in its raw form by juicing or blending fresh THCA hemp flowers. It can also be found in some cannabis-infused food and beverage products, such as raw cannabis tinctures or edibles that have not been heated or cooked. Consuming THCA in this raw form will not produce intoxicating effects.
Another way to consume THCA is to transform it into delta-9 THC by smoking or vaping it. THCA is available for sale online and in select dispensaries as smokable hemp flower, vape products, and concentrates that produce a classic THC buzz.
Does THCA get you high?
THCA, in its raw acidic form, unheated, will not produce intoxicating effects. However, once the THCA is exposed to heat, it will transform into delta-9 THC, which will result in psychoactive effects in doses ranging from 5–10 mg.
