THC-A is one of the hemp plants’ many cannabinoids. Its structure is incredibly similar to Delta-9 THC, which is the primary psychoactive component in cannabis, but it doesn’t have the same binding effects in the body.
THC-A is only mildly psychoactive. The cannabinoid has a higher therapeutic value than psychoactive value. This makes it a more appealing product to those looking for relief and comfort. It’s found in low amounts in both hemp and cannabis, but it is best when extracted. Most THC-A is extracted from hemp.
