THC-A:

A Better Anti-Inflammatory and NeuroProtectant

While there has been a lot of discussion in the literature, both lay and scientific, about the properties of Cannabidiol (CBD) as an anti-inflammatory and neuroprotectant, there are significant problems with CBD in reality. Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THC-A) is another cannabinoid (Cannabis derived medication) that has yet to get the attention it truly deserves. THC-A presents an option that is similar to CBD but better!

Aside from what CBD appears to be able to treat, its main attraction is that it is non-intoxicating (meaning it doesn’t get you high). On the downside, however, the amount of CBD you need to take to get the benefits described in medical studies is 500-1500mg per day, or about $30-80 per day. This is pretty much a show stopper for most patients.
