Recently, individuals have become aware of the potential benefits of cannabis and, crucially, cannabis compound products.
THCa is a compound of cannabis that is gaining a lot of attention. It can be the perfect addition to any trip.
What is THCa?
THCa is a non-psychoactive cannabis compound. It is found in raw and unheated cannabis plants. The critical fact about THCa is that, unlike THC, it does not cause the same intoxicated ‘high .’Instead, it is a drug focused on the relaxed and happy side effects of cannabis. It is known to have euphoric effects.
When used through vaping, cooking, and smoking, the drug has a chemical reaction and gives off these euphoric effects.
Benefits of THCa
THca has gained popularity in recent years for its potential therapeutic effects. Many individuals, particularly travelers, are turning to the drug in times of potential stress or anxiety. A lot of people use it as a coping mechanism. Some possible benefits include:
- Pain Relief: This is a side effect that I’m sure you will have heard about in connection with cannabis. Some even believe it is pain relief to the extent of medicinal levels. It may have anti-inflammatory properties and, for many, help alleviate pain and discomfort. If you’re a walker or like to go on active holidays, this could be one for you.
- Nausea Control: A lot of travelers swear by cannabis for easing nausea while traveling, especially those who get travel sickness. The drug is believed to have qualities that help settle the stomach and even cause an appetite.
- Anxiety and Stress Reduction: THCa may have calming and anxiety-reducing effects. Many people say they feel calm when they’ve been in contact with cannabis. Traveling can be stressful, so finding new coping methods can be helpful.
THCa Products
THCa comes in a range of products.
THCa products are endless, there is a huge range. When travelling, it is important to consider how you’re going to store and take the drug. Here are some of the products on offer:
- Tinctures: A tincture, effectively, is a liquid. It usually comes in a little drop bottle. It is very similar to an essential oil. Tinctures are liquid extracts of THCa. They are taken under the tongue. Many travelers believe they are the easiest way to get the compound on the go.
- Edibles: As the name suggests, Edibles are taken orally. They often take the form of gummies, brownies, or other snack bars. Edibles are THCa-infused, meaning you feel the effects of the drug as you digest the products. Travelers often can take these discreetly in their bags.
- Topicals: A topical is a fancy name for a cream or lotion, anything that goes ‘on top’ of the skin. Once again, the product is infused with the compound. Expressly, people turn to topicals to reduce localized pain or inflammation. Some people also like to use it as a hand cream for calming relief.
- Capsuals: This is your pill form of THCa. It is taken in pre-measured and controlled doses similar to other medications. It is usually just quickly swallowed down with water.
- Vape Pens. As the world of vaping has become more popular, vape pens have emerged. Like a traditional vape, the THCa is in liquid form and taken orally.
Things to be Aware of
Unfortunately, it is not quite as simple as just traveling with THCa. As an emerging drug, especially cannabis compounds, there are still lots of rules and regulations on cannabis that vary from country to country.
Make sure you research the legality of cannabis and specifically THCa products. Local authorities will take Illegal activity and products seriously, even if it’s as simple as accidentally taking a product across a border where one side is legal and the other is not. Be careful.
It is always worth researching where you are sourcing your THCa products from. There are many reputable places. Unfortunately, there are also many unreputable places. A well-known and reliable company will be sure to give you safe and quality-assured products. Many travelers recommend purchasing products before your trip (if laws allow) to avoid having to find sources in an unknown place.
Finally, be cautious if this is your first time using cannabis or THCa. There is no harm in starting with small doses to ensure you feel comfortable.
In Conclusion
THCa can be a great addition to any travel. It can be a way to relax, ease pain and enjoy wellness with friends. Be sure to do your research and use and enjoy at your own pace. Happy travelling!
