// Definition
The acid forms of THC and CBD found in raw cannabis before decarboxylation, which have their own distinct therapeutic properties separate from their activated counterparts.
// From the Episode
Discussion in ep 084 covered how cannabinoids exist in their acid forms (THCA, CBDA) in the raw plant and need heat activation to convert to THC and CBD. The panel noted that even raw cannabinoids have therapeutic value, and that the full understanding of all cannabinoid forms is still in its infancy.
