THCP

In its initial form, THCP, is cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), commonly known as “mother cannabinoid” which other cannabinoids are derived from. When heated, the molecule is formed by carboxyl groups, which comprise of one carbon, two oxygen, and one hydrogen atom.

Depending on which enzymes it interacts with, CBGA can become tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA) or cannabidiol acid (CBDA), among others. On the other hand, TCHPA (Tetrahydrocannabiphorol Acid) and CBDPA (Cannabidiphorol Acid) become THCP and CBDP when heated. In the overall cannabinoid makeup, these are only a small percentage, and they are quite potent. In fact, THCP is 33 times stronger than regular THC, so its effects on the body are amplified.
