Dr. Green: Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time to talk about THCa and its growing popularity.

Interviewer: Let’s start with the basics—what exactly is THCa?

Dr. Green: Great question! THCa stands for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw and live cannabis plants. Unlike THC, it doesn’t produce a high until it’s decarboxylated through heat or combustion.

THCa is gaining attention not just for its potential health benefits but also for offering a different experience than traditional THC.

Interviewer: What makes THCa strains particularly appealing to college-aged consumers?

Dr. Green: Many college students are drawn to THCa strains because they offer the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the intense psychoactive effects associated with THC. This allows them to enjoy certain aspects of cannabis while still maintaining focus on their studies or social activities.

Dr. Green: Absolutely! One strain that’s been making waves is “Pineapple Express.” Known for its fruity aroma and uplifting effects, it’s perfect for those looking for energy and creativity without feeling overwhelmed. Another favorite is “Strawberry Banana,” which offers a sweet flavor profile along with calming properties that help reduce stress—a common concern among students.

Interviewer: Are there any other noteworthy strains you’d recommend?

Dr. Green: “Sour Diesel” has also remained popular due to its invigorating effects and ability to enhance productivity—ideal during exam periods when students need an extra boost. Lastly, “Blue Dream” continues to be a staple; it balances relaxation with cerebral stimulation, making it versatile across various activities.

Interviewer: How should new users approach trying these THCa strains?

Dr. Green: I always advise starting slow and low—begin with small doses until you’re familiar with how your body reacts to each strain’s unique properties. It’s important to remember that everyone’s experience can differ based on personal tolerance levels and body chemistry.
