D9-THCA

D9-THCA, or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a naturally occurring compound found in raw cannabis. It is the acidic precursor to THC, the well-known psychoactive component. When cannabis is heated or dried—a process called decarboxylation—D9-THCA converts into THC, which produces the "high" associated with marijuana. In its raw form, D9-THCA is non-intoxicating and may have potential therapeutic benefits. It's commonly found in fresh cannabis and cannabis products that haven't been heated, making it a focus for those seeking potential health effects without intoxication.
