what is the difference between cbd and thca?
The plant produces all cannabinoids in an acid form. Instead of making THC and CBD directly, it synthesizes tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) from their cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) precursor. THCA is not psychoactive—it does not activate CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the brain.
