a chemical compound found in the hemp plant and is a precursor to the widely known compound, Cannabidiol (CBD). CBDA is believed to have unique properties and potential health benefits separate from CBD, as it is the raw, acidic form of CBD before it undergoes decarboxylation, a process that transforms CBDA into CBD. CBDA has gained attention in recent years for its potential as a therapeutic agent and is being studied for its effects on inflammation, pain, and anxiety, among others. Despite limited research, CBDA is being incorporated into various wellness products and is considered a promising area of study within the cannabis industry.
