You will never get a single person to recommend it.

I remember reading a study almost fifteen years ago that smoking while pregnant lead the children to have a different brain schema design (different organizational patterns) vs control, and the majority of the affected kids ended up doing poorer on standardized testing.

It's still a drug, treat it as such

To put it simpler, THCa is the THC that hasn't been activated for human consumption yet.

To expand, it's the acid form that hasn't decarboxylated yet. Decarbing occurs most frequently when THC is exposed to 255° F. Some animals (dogs, cats) have an enzyme that allows this process after eating it, which is why your pet can get stoned from eating raw flower but you can't. Any edible product you've ever eaten has undergone this process before it's put in your gummies or brownies.

So yes, THCa is just the THC that you haven't smoked yet.

In Colorado, we use the formula THCa * .877 = total THC content. The remaining .133 is regarded as lost THC, or broken down into a number of other cannabinoids (CBD, CDG, CBN, etc).

Edit: Jesus guys. The THC isn't there anymore, I'm explaining it to a newbie. They don't care about its very molar weight

You got downvoted too.

Just don't get high while pregnant. We as a species have known this for quite some time. No, it's not politics. No, it's not cultural. Just don't get high.

TIL! That all makes sense. Thank you for the correction and info.

But question, that loss could still be considered "lost" THC in a certain sense, right? At least for the purposes of explaining it to someone that doesn't have much knowledge in the matter

My coworkers/friends are opening for a huge artist at red rocks next weekend. This is their first "big" show besides some pretty good momentum they've built this year (collabs with decently well known artists, good turnouts at their (4?) festival shows this summer, etc)). Do you have any advice I can pass on to them at work tomorrow?
