THC-A, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the raw cannabinoid precursor of delta 9 THC. In raw cannabis material, THCA is present, rather than delta 9. It’s only when THCA is decarboxylated (heated to a threshold temperature) that it converts into delta 9 THC.

THC-A is present in both raw hemp and marijuana, just like delta 9 THC after decarboxylation. It’s the most abundant cannabinoid in marijuana, but exists in trace levels in the hemp plant – about 0.3%. The THC-A that we sell at LHP comes from hemp.

THC-A in its raw form is not intoxicating. Raw cannabinoids do not carry any psychoactive properties, actually. But, once THC-A is decarboxylated, it converts into delta 9 THC, which, as we all know, will get you high. 

THC-A is legal according to federal law. Federal law states that hemp products can contain a maximum of 0.3% delta 9 THC to be sold legally. But, there’s nothing in the law about THC-A. Keep in mind that some states are beginning to ban products with more than 0.3% THC-A as well, so stay on top of your state’s laws, as LHP will not ship THC-A to states where the cannabinoid is banned.
