// Definition
A medical cannabis dosing approach that distinguishes between raw (unheated, containing THCA/CBDA) and active (decarboxylated, containing THC/CBD) cannabis preparations. Raw formulas provide medicinal benefits without psychoactive effects, while active formulas include the full psychoactive profile.
// From the Episode
Etienne Fontan of Berkeley Patients Group described using raw formulas during the day for patients who don't want to feel stoned but need anti-inflammatory and other benefits, then switching to active aged-terpene profiles in the evening for pain management. This 1-2-3-4 sequencing came from 20 years of patient feedback at BPG.
