THCA edibles are cannabis-infused foods (like gummies, chocolates) that contain Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THCA), the non-psychoactive precursor to THC, which only becomes intoxicating THC when heated (decarboxylated) through digestion or cooking, offering potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits without the immediate "high" of traditional THC products, though they can still be potent and long-lasting once converted. Because they're eaten, the conversion happens slowly in the digestive system, leading to a delayed, longer-lasting, and often more intense experience than smoking.
