Cannabis is a unique plant with an extensive history of use across the globe. While there are many compounds in cannabis, THC and CBD are some of the most well-known and studied. But what about THCa? This lesser-known cannabinoid is gaining attention for its potential benefits. So, how does THCa work and what are its benefits? Let’s take a closer look.
When cannabis is harvested, the non-intoxicating cannabinoid acid appears naturally in its plant form. Once heated with a lighter or another heat source to speed up the transformation process of THCA into THC which makes you feel “heady” when consuming raw marijuana but not after it has been cooked.
In addition to THC, there are many other phytocannabinoids found in a mature cannabis plant. Most begin as Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) when the seed begins its journey through life and grows into adulthood with an array of different compounds at each stage!
The research into the benefits of THCA is still preliminary and relies heavily upon findings from animal studies. However, early promising data offer some hope that this plant can be useful in health care settings when it comes to cannabis-based treatments for diseases like cancer or chronic pain management because much more needs exploring about THC’s interaction with other cannabinoids on how they work together optimally as therapeutic tools while also being safe enough so people don’t experience any negative side effects whatsoever!
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is known as an anti-inflammatory and it appears to act similarly. One study demonstrated that THCa inhibits enzymes responsible for causing inflammation and pain which means reduced inflammation in affected areas whether from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or gastrointestinal distress.
While the active ingredient in marijuana, THC can reduce nausea and vomiting. However, researchers have found that THCa is more effective at doing so than its parent compound! This could make it an excellent option for people who don’t want to get high but still need relief from their symptoms.
There’s new research that suggests the wonders of marijuana and its compounds on our health. A study found in lab mice demonstrated how THCA can significantly reduce fat mass, and body weight gain while also correcting glucose intolerance and insulin resistance – key elements for obesity-related diabetes!
The findings show that THCA protects against nerve cell degradation which could delay the effects of neurodegenerative conditions like Huntington’s disease. However, more research needs to be done for us to understand how this can best be applied and what results we should expect from using it as a treatment option.
