WHAT IS A THC-A FLOWER AND WHAT CAN IT DO FOR YOU

By Kendall Jenkins on 2023-03-14 07:21:00

Are you looking for a new way to benefit from the powers of cannabis? THC-A, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is an increasingly popular form of marijuana that offers health benefits without producing psychoactive effects. This type of flower contains essential oils and resins that can be quite powerful when released through decarboxylation. 

In this blog post, we'll explore what THC-A flowers are, how they differ from traditional marijuana flowers, and how they can help improve your well-being.

THCA vs THC

First, before talking about the benefits that THCA provides, it’s important to look at the difference between THCA and THC. THCA is simply the acidic form of THC, and you might call it the precursor to THC. Many people use the two terms interchangeably, but they are not the same.

It’s important to make this distinction since CBGA is the first cannabinoid that the plant will develop. Once that has developed, it will break down at some point and produce THCA and CBDA, which are the primary cannabinoids.

 Another vital thing to understand is that when THCA is exposed to heat, it will convert to THC. This means that if you purchase a good quality THCA flower and heat it using a bong joint, dry herb vaporizer, and so on, you will end up consuming THC.

Why is this distinction important to make? It’s essential to make this distinction, especially when talking about the benefits of THCA flower, since if you heat it, you will be getting the benefits of THC.

Reduced Inflammation

Since the research into the benefits of THCA is still in its infancy, not much is known about it. However, one thing that research has concluded is that it does have anti-inflammatory properties, which means that it can help to reduce inflammation. This is helpful since it could help treat a wide range of conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, fibromyalgia, nausea, lupus, and more.

That said, as mentioned above, if it is not heated, you will get the benefits of solely THCA. If you are wondering how that can be done, this is primarily done through consuming THCA powder.There are a few ways to consume THC powder, including a drive, a pen, a dab pen, or  electric dab rigs best we can find.

Pain Relief 

If you have got your hands on THCA flower and want to consume it using a combustion method, you will get one of the biggest benefits THC provides, which is pain relief. Many studies have been conducted and have determined that THC is very effective at treating pain, specifically chronic pain. This is most likely because THC is able to either inhibit or obstruct pain receptors.

Improved Sleep

The next benefit you will receive if you smoke or vape THCA flower is improved sleep. Many studies have been conducted and have determined that THC is effective at helping people fall asleep as well as increasing sleep time. This is most likely due to THC's biphasic effect on sleep. Other benefits include an easier time falling asleep, a reduced amount of time before falling asleep, and longer durations of sleep.

Reduce Anxiety 

Another benefit you would receive if you were to smoke or vape THCA flower is reduced anxiety symptoms. Did you know that 30% of adults will experience anxiety at any point? More importantly, did you know that around 3.8% of the global population experiences anxiety daily? As it turns out, THC effectively reduces anxiety symptoms, whether general or social anxiety.

Stimulate Appetite

Finally, the last benefit you would receive if you vape or smoke THCA flower would be stimulated appetite. If this doesn’t affect you, you might not understand just how beneficial this is. However, many conditions actually reduce the appetite of people suffering from them. This is because THC can stimulate the hunger hormones in your body.
