What Type Of High Is THCA?

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) has got the hemp community buzzing, as it’s the raw form of delta 9 THC, found in cannabis flower.  Certain THCA products, like dabs, vapes, and flower, actually provide you with delta 9 THC, as they’re heated before use, which converts THCA into delta 9.  

What this means that the THCA products at Binoid are going to give you the high of delta 9, legally.  But, if you’re new to THC, you may not know what to expect.  Let’s share everything there is to know.

Is THCA Intoxicating?

First off, let’s clarify the intoxicating nature of THCA.  THCA is a raw cannabinoid, and raw cannabinoids do not have intoxicating properties.  They simply don’t have the chemical structure that allows them to attach to cannabinoid receptors that cause intoxication.

But, when THCA is heated above a threshold temperature, it converts into delta 9 THC.  This enables it to attach to the CB1 receptors in the brain responsible for the high associated with cannabis.  And, certain products, like flower, dabs, and vapes, reach that threshold temperature, allowing us to get in all of that delta 9 THC, and none of the THCA.

So, why do these THCA products exist in the first place?  It’s one simple reason: they offer a legal way to enjoy high concentrations of delta 9.  Marijuana remains federally illegal, and hemp-derived delta 9 can only exist in concentrations of 0.3% or less, according to the law.  THCA is completely unrestricted, meaning we can enjoy high servings of delta 9 THC through “heatable” THCA products.

How Strong is the High of THCA and Delta 9 THC?

Delta 9’s high is considered moderate in the cannabinoid spectrum.  It’s 30% stronger than delta 8’s or delta 10’s, and about a tenth of the strength of THC-P, for reference.  Of course, how strong the high will feel for you depends on a lot of things, like how much you take, and the product type – something we’ll get more into later.

What Kind of Effects Will I Feel While I’m High Off of THCA?

The high associated with delta 9 is going to be a bit different for everyone, and again, dependent on certain factors like strain, product type, and so on.  But, the general consensus when it comes to what the high feels like includes:

• Euphoria
• Relief from stress/negative thoughts
• Enhanced creativity
• Feelings of giddiness
• Introspection
• Haziness
• Increased appetite
• A body high that ranges from warm and tingly to heavy and sleepy
• Relief from physical discomfort
• Relief from nausea

What Determines What the High of THCA Feels Like?

When it comes to the nature of the high with delta 9, it depends on a surprising number of factors that can influence the potency of the effects, the type of effects, and more.  Let’s elaborate, so you can finetune your experience based on what outcome you desire.

Strain Type

Yes, the cannabis plant’s strain of makes a big difference when it comes to your high, as you may or may not already know.  Each strain has its own terpene profile which dictates the kinds of effects you’re going to have.  There are three types of strain categories:

• Indica: Indica strains are known for being “sleepier,” being more calming and producing a stronger body high that, in some cases, can mean couchlock.
• Sativa: Sativa strains are more uplifting, and sometimes energizing, typically producing stronger cerebral, “hazy” effects, and potentially enhancing focus, creativity, and sociability.
• Hybrid: Hybrid strains are somewhere in the middle, as they’re a cross between a sativa and an indica.  

The THCA Product Type (Vapes, Dabs, or Flower)

The product type makes a difference as well.  Let’s break down the most common product types and see how they differ from one another.

• THCA Vapes: Vape cartridges and disposables allow us to inhale a vapor of THCA and strain-specific terpenes, offering fast-acting, potent effects for about 1-3 hours.
• THCA Flower: Smoking THCA-infused flower will give you stronger effects than vaping, because smoke is denser than vapor.  Baking with THCA flower to make edibles means you’re ingesting the cannabinoid, resulting in an onset time of 1-2 hours, and effects for up to 8 hours.
• THCA Dabs: These are concentrates, which’re extremely potent compared to other products.  They’re flash-vaporized through a dab rig or dab pen, and take effect almost immediately, with a shorter duration time.  

How THCA Much You Consume

How much THCA you actually take in one serving is going to influence how strong the high is, and potentially cause more mild side effects like dry mouth, dry eyes, lightheadedness, lowered blood pressure, and increased anxiety or paranoia.

Other Cannabinoids

If you’re also taking other cannabinoids, they too, will influence the high of delta 9.  CBD, for instance, would make delta 9’s effects milder, while THC-P would make them stronger.  Some THCA products come with other cannabinoids in the formula, and those would change the overall high that you get.
