WHAT IS CBDA & HOW IS IT RELATED TO CBD?
As mentioned previously, raw cannabis and hemp contain CBDA, which is an acidic form of CBD. It’s structurally more difficult to pass through the body’s blood-brain barrier than CBD is. This is one reason manufacturers decarb CBD-rich cannabis. Decarboxylation converts CBDA to the much more accessible CBD, making it easier for the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to put CBD to work inside your body.
That said, CBDA has benefits of its own. The cannabinoid has been shown to help ease:
If you grow your own high-CBD cannabis plants and wish to take advantage of CBDA, you’re in luck. You can access raw CBDA from the leaves and even the stems of fresh, high CBD-strain cannabis.
To get the benefits of CBDA, try adding fresh leaves to a green smoothie, blend up the leaves and freeze them for future use as canna ice cubes or add fresh, pungent leaves to salad.
If you want to experiment with CBDA and aren’t growing cannabis, look for CBD products that are labelled raw CBD.
But then it goes on to say this...............
For most people growing CBD, decarbing is essential when making edibles or topical treatments, and is an affordable way to keep the home cannabis pharmacy stocked with quality products that you can trust. Start with cannabis strains that are known for their high-CBD content, such as:

Do I Need to Decarboxylate CBD Flower?
Without decarboxylation, CBD will remain CBDA—the raw, acidic form of CBD. Though CBDA has beneficial effects, it’s harder to access in the body than CBD is.
