Acidic What? 5 Best THCA & CBDA Products

You’re familiar with THC and CBD, and maybe even with the newer cannabinoids on the block: CBN and CBG. But just when you think you’re getting the alphabet soup straight, we’re here to introduce some new additions.

The cannabinoid acids THCA and CBDA are the “neutral” forms of the THC and CBD molecules you’re familiar with. Without giving you a full-on chemistry lesson, just know that CBDA and THCA are the raw forms of CBD and THC. When you buy cannabis or hemp flower, it’s chock full of these acidic cannabinoids.

When you apply heat (by smoking or vaporizing) or apply time, or both, the acidic molecules lose a carboxyl group, which changes their structure into the potent molecules you know and love. Most of the cannabinoids in the edibles and topicals you enjoy will have already been decarboxylated (or “decarbed,” as folks in the know call it).

So why should you care about the acidic form of any cannabinoid? For starters, THCA can offer many of the same benefits of THC but without the euphoria or “high” feeling that comes with it. THCA might also have potent anti-inflammatory effects and might help protect the brain from neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s.

CBDA might be much more potent than CBD, meaning you could enjoy similar benefits with a much smaller dosage. Initial studies indicate CBDA is potentially a far more potent anti-inflammatory and anti-nauseant than CBD.

The research is still preliminary, so these acidic cannabinoids may prove effective for a wide range of issues. For now, here’s a list of the THCA & CBDA products that we like.
