You’ve probably heard about cannabis edibles, smoking, or vaping—but what about juicing? Yep, that’s a thing. And it turns out, juicing raw cannabis might be one of the most underrated ways to get the benefits of THCA, the plant’s natural, non-psychoactive compound. But is it worth it? And how does it compare to decarbed (heated) cannabis?
Let’s break it down.
Raw Cannabis = THCA, Not THC
In its raw form, cannabis is full of THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), not THC. That means if you toss raw flower or fresh leaves into a juicer, you’re getting all that cannabinoid goodness, without the high. THCA has potential wellness perks without the buzz, making it ideal for people who want balance and clarity throughout the day.
On the flip side, decarbed cannabis is what you get when you apply heat. That could be through smoking, vaping, or baking. The heating process turns THCA into THC, which is where the classic cannabis effects—like euphoria and couch-lock—come into play.
Why People Are Juicing Cannabis
Juicing raw cannabis is becoming more popular among folks looking to incorporate cannabinoids into a clean, wellness-focused lifestyle. Think of it like adding kale to your smoothie—except this time, you’re getting the potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties of THCA along with your vitamins.
People often report feeling more energized, less sore, or just generally “well” when adding raw cannabis juice to their routine. And because you’re not heating it, you avoid the psychoactive effects completely.
Is Juicing Right for You?
It depends on your goals. If you’re into wellness and want to stay clear-headed, raw cannabis juice could be a great fit. If you’re looking for more intense effects, then decarbed cannabis might make more sense.
