Cannabinoid · Phytocannabinoid
Tetrahydrocannabiphorolic acid (THCPA) is a phytocannabinoid made by the cannabis plant, in the THC-type group. Raw acid precursor of THCP.
Where it fits
Tetrahydrocannabiphorolic acid (THCPA) is formed from CBGA analog in the plant and decarboxylates to THCP with heat. See the Phytocannabinoids index for how it relates to the rest of the family.
What the research shows
Direct human research on Tetrahydrocannabiphorolic acid (THCPA) is minimal; it is characterised mainly by its chemistry and its place in the cannabinoid family rather than by clinical studies. We flag that plainly rather than overstate it.
