However, smoking THCa is a massive gray area within the Texas Farm Bill because, technically, once it is turned into THC, it should be illegal. Currently, there are no stipulations accounting for ...
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA, 2-COOH-THC; conjugate base tetrahydrocannabinolate) is a precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an active component of cannabis. [1]THCA is found in variable quantities in fresh, undried cannabis, but is progressively decarboxylated to THC with drying, and especially under intense heating such as when cannabis is smoked or cooked into cannabis edibles.
A couple who said they were smoking a THCA joint on a Charlotte bus stop bench tried to tell officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department that. They bought the joint from a smoke shop ...

In the Cannabis plant, THC occurs mainly as tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA, 2-COOH-THC). Geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid react, catalysed by an enzyme to produce cannabigerolic acid, [42] which is cyclized by the enzyme THC acid synthase to give THCA. Over time, or when heated, THCA is decarboxylated, producing THC.
Cannabis smoke was listed as a cancer agent in California in 2009. [31] A study by the British Lung Foundation published in 2012 identifies cannabis smoke as a carcinogen and also finds awareness of the danger is low compared with the high awareness of the dangers of smoking tobacco particularly among younger users. Other observations include ...
