Raw Cannabinoids Explained: Fresh From the Plant
What Are Raw Cannabinoids?
Most people are familiar with cannabinoids like CBD and THC — but before these compounds are activated, they exist in their raw, acidic forms.
Two of the most important are:
- CBDA (Cannabidiolic Acid)
- CBGA (Cannabigerolic Acid)
These cannabinoids are found in the cannabis plant before heat is applied.
This means they’re closer to the plant’s natural state — often described as “fresh from the plant.”
How Are CBDA and CBGA Different from CBD and THC?
When cannabis is heated (through smoking, vaping, or cooking), cannabinoids go through a process called decarboxylation.
This transforms:
- CBDA → CBD
- CBGA → CBG
Raw cannabinoids remain unheated, meaning they retain their original chemical structure.
