Daysavers | Comparing THC vs THCA

In DaySavers’ educational feature on cannabinoid chemistry, I provided expert analysis on THC versus THCA, explaining how THCA (the non-psychoactive acidic cannabinoid produced by cannabis plants) only becomes psychoactive THC through decarboxylation. My goal was to help address consumer confusion around "hemp-derived" products, clarify the legal gray areas created by the 2018 Farm Bill, and voice my concerns about unregulated THCA products, emphasizing why compliance testing matters for protecting consumers from harmful contaminants.
