Is THCA in Delta-8? ›

THCA vs.

Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC) is a cannabinoid in the cannabis plant just like THCA. There aren't large amounts of it in the cannabis plant. But it's still THC, so it can get you high. Delta-8 is typically made from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD)—a chemical that doesn't contain THC.

Since the THCA level in your flower is 0.6%, it's pretty low. When THCA is heated (like when smoking or vaping), it converts to THC, but even then, the amount of THC produced from 0.6% THCA will be quite minimal. It's actually good that you're checking levels. I do, too, when I get CBD hemp flowers for sale.

The bottom line is that THCA, in its unheated and natural form, does not induce any “high” feelings, while vaping, cooking, or smoking THCA converts the cannabinoid to THC, which is responsible for inducing “high” effects.

While it doesn't produce as intense a high as delta-9 THC, delta-8 can affect your mood, thoughts, feelings, and how you act. In fact, delta-8 is often referred to as “marijuana lite” or “diet weed.” Other common THC side effects like paranoia, anxiety, and drowsiness are also less potent with delta-8 than delta-9.

THCA does not bind to brain receptors like THC unless it undergoes decarboxylation. However, THCA does exhibit neuroprotective properties that may have potential in the prevention and treatment of conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's.

Many people report using marijuana to cope with anxiety, especially those with social anxiety disorder. THC appears to decrease anxiety at lower doses and increase anxiety at higher doses. CBD appears to decrease anxiety at all doses that have been tested.

The types of products that contain the cannabinoid THCA include vapes, flower, pre-rolls, gummies, and more.

In summary, THCA and Delta 9 differ primarily in their effects and legal status. THCA is non-psychoactive and usually legal, while Delta 9 is psychoactive and often regulated.

In addition to total THC limits, some states are also placing a total ban on any synthetic or chemically manipulated cannabinoid(s), effectively prohibiting the production and sale of any products containing delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, THCA, and other potentially intoxicating cannabinoids.
