Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA, 2-COOH-THC; conjugate base tetrahydrocannabinolate) is a precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an active component of cannabis. [1]THCA is found in variable quantities in fresh, undried cannabis, but is progressively decarboxylated to THC with drying, and especially under intense heating such as when cannabis is smoked or cooked into cannabis edibles.
There is a strong relation between cannabis use and the risk of psychosis, though the direction of causality is debated. Physical effects include increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, nausea, and behavioral problems in children whose mothers used cannabis during pregnancy; short-term side effects may also include dry mouth and red eyes.
Cannabinoids (/ k ə ˈ n æ b ə n ɔɪ d z ˌ ˈ k æ n ə b ə n ɔɪ d z /) are several structural classes of compounds found in the cannabis plant primarily and most animal organisms (although insects lack such receptors) or as synthetic compounds.

Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) is a potent phytocannabinoid, a CB 1 and CB 2 receptor agonist which was known as a synthetic homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), [1] but for the first time in 2019 was isolated as a natural product in trace amounts from Cannabis sativa.
Heat is required to decarboxylate the non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid THCA to its psychoactive form, THC. Likewise, CBDA turns into CBD. From hemp plant material in an oven, cannabinoid concentration plots (time/temp) show THC: [16] STP 0 minutes 0.20mg/g; 140-160C 20 minutes 0.27mg/g; 140-160C 60 minutes 0.05-0.15mg/g
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) synthase (full name Δ 1-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase) is an enzyme responsible for catalyzing the formation of THCA from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). THCA is the direct precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) , the principal psychoactive component of cannabis , which is produced from various strains of ...
Δ-11-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-11-THC, Δ 11-THC, Δ 9(11)-THC, exo-Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a rare isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, developed in the 1970s.It can be synthesised from Δ 8-THC by several different routes, [1] [2] [3] though only the (6aR, 10aR) enantiomer is known.
