Does THCa Flower Get You High?
When THCa is heated, either through smoking, vaporizing, or cooking, it undergoes a process called decarboxylation, which converts it into THC. This transformation allows THC to cross the blood-brain barrier and produce psychoactive effects.
If THCa flower is not heated or decarboxylated, it will not produce psychoactive effects on its own. This means that consuming raw or unheated THCa flower will not get you high. Some people choose to consume raw or unheated THCa for its potential health benefits, which include anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anticonvulsant properties.
