THCA vs. THC-B: Which Cannabinoid Is Better?

THC-B and THC-A couldn’t sound more related to one another, but the reality is that they’re two completely different types of THC-based cannabinoids that can deliver dramatically different results.  Because of that, we need to compare them to one another so that you know which one is going to give you the effects you’re looking for.

Why Choose THC-B?

THC-B Origins 

THC-B (Tetrahydrocannabutol) is essentially a brand-new cannabinoid discovery, and as you may have learned by now, the newer the cannabinoid, the less in-depth information we know about it.  We know that it has a “butol” side chain rather than a pentyl side chain, hence its name, and different structure from delta 9 THC.  We also know it’s one of the most minorly occurring cannabinoids in hemp.

THC-B’s Psychoactive Properties

THC-B’s psychoactive properties are a subject of debate, because so few people have even tried it, and research on it is extremely limited.  There’s evidence that it attaches to CB1 receptors that create a high, so we know that it’s intoxicating.  Some say the high feels just like delta 9’s, while others say that it’s more potent, although it’s not considered one of the most potent cannabinoids in hemp, in terms of its psychoactive properties.

Purpose for Taking THC-B

Right now, people seeking out THC-B are likely doing so because they are curious about its high, and how it compares to that of other THC compounds.

THC-B’s Legality 

THC-B is a federally legal cannabinoid protected under the 2018 Farm Bill which states that all hemp products are legal as long as they contain no more than 0.3% delta 9 THC by dry weight.  Although THC-B is federally legal, some states have restricted psychoactive cannabinoids like delta 8 THC, and those states likely prohibit THC-B sales as well.  Those states are:

• Alaska
• Arizona
• Arkansas
• Colorado
• Delaware
• Idaho
• Iowa
• Mississippi
• Montana
• Nevada
• New York
• North Dakota
• Oregon
• Rhode Island
• Vermont
• Utah
• Washington

Why Choose THC-A?

THC-A Origin

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, acidic cannabinoid found in fresh hemp, and it’s the precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).  Because THC-A has not yet been decarboxylated (heated in a controlled manner), its properties are completely different from THC.  THC-A exists only in raw hemp, because once the cannabinoid has been heated through decarboxylation, it converts to THC as new properties become “activated” and others “deactivated.”  

THC-A’s Psychoactive Properties

THCA has no psychoactive properties, meaning that it won’t get you high.  That’s because raw cannabinoids do not interact with CB1 receptors that cause intoxication.  

Purpose for Taking THC-A

THC-A is strictly used for potential therapeutic value, as it has no recreational purpose, being a non-intoxicating cannabinoid.

THC-A’s Legality 

It’s undetermined whether or not THC-A is banned in the same states that have banned other psychoactive cannabinoids like THC-B, because THC-A is not intoxicating.  We know it’s protected under the Farm Bill, and if it is banned in those certain states, you won’t be able to buy THC-A products in:

• Alaska
• Arizona
• Arkansas
• Colorado
• Delaware
• Idaho
• Iowa
• Mississippi
• Montana
• Nevada
• New York
• North Dakota
• Oregon
• Rhode Island
• Vermont
• Utah
• Washington

Final Decision: THC-B and THC-A – More Differences Than You May Have Thought  

THC-B and THCA are surprisingly different from one another – one can get you very high, and the other not at all.  Because of that, both are worth trying, as they can serve completely different purposes that both benefit you in different ways.  Both THC-B and THC-A have a lot to offer, showing the diversity of cannabinoids and how they affect us to improve how we feel on a daily basis.  At Binoid, we carry a nice selection of THC-B and THC-A products that are sure to meet your hemp-related needs.
