When exploring how long THCA stays in your system , most articles focus solely on drug test windows and half-lives. But let’s take a different route—let’s look at THCA from a bioavailability and conversion perspective. This approach not only paints a clearer picture but also offers insights into how your body truly interacts with THCA , which stands for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid —the non-psychoactive precursor to THC . 🔄 What Makes THCA Unique Compared to THC? Unlike its well-known cousin THC , THCA doesn’t produce a high unless it undergoes decarboxylation —a process activated by heat. So technically, when you consume raw cannabis or THCA-rich products like tinctures and juices, your body is primarily processing THCA , not THC . However, here's the catch: even though THCA doesn’t get you high, your body can still store it—and its byproducts—in fat tissue. And depending on how it’s consumed and processed, THCA can convert into detectable levels of THC . 🕰️ How Long Do...
