Understanding High-THC Cannabis

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for the euphoric effects and many therapeutic benefits. High-THC strains like Lemon Cherry Gelato offer enhanced potency while maintaining balanced effects through careful genetic selection and optimal terpene profiles.

THC Biosynthesis & Production

Biosynthetic Pathway

1. CBGA Formation

Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) serves as the precursor to all major cannabinoids

2. THCA Synthesis

THCA synthase converts CBGA to tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA)

3. Decarboxylation

Heat converts THCA to psychoactive THC through decarboxylation
