What is THCa?THCA stands for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid and it is the precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). When cannabis is growing it makes cannabinoids as carboxylic acids that most often convert into non-acidic compounds through a process called decarboxylation. Almost all cannabinoids start off in their acidic form which have differing structures and effects than that of their non-acidic versions. THCA, although abundant in fresh cannabis, is unstable under controlled storage conditions and when exposed to light and/or heat it readily decarboxylates into THC. In fact, one study found that “THCA decarboxylates even when stored between 4 and 18ºC (39-64ºF) so THC contamination in THCA is nearly unavoidable.” This THC contamination even among pure extracts is what makes lab results based only on THCA so difficult to determine.

“Switching to Tropics changed the game. I could tell they were the best place to buy edibles online legal as soon as I tried the weed syrup. Excited for prerolls too!"

"The product line-up is perfect for our hemp shops. My customers sell out the THCa diamond and THC syrup 1000mg every week. Let's go Tropics!!!

“A couple tsp THC syrup during the day puts me in a good head space, and a couple more during the night knocks me out.”
