thc v.s. thca

what is the difference?

THC is the queen of cannabinoids. We all know what THC does, but what many folks do not realize is that THC works with all the other cannabinoids and terpenes to produce the unique effects for each strain. While many folks are chasing the most potent strains in the store, the true cannaseur knows that cannabis is more than just the sum of its parts. They look at more than just THC when selecting strains. Basic knowledge about THC is always a good thing, but ask your budtender to help guide you to the strain that will deliver the effects you are looking for.
