THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC found in raw cannabis. It only becomes psychoactive when heated — through smoking, vaping, or cooking — a process known as decarboxylation.

Not in its raw form. THCa itself doesn’t produce a high. However, when it’s heated (like when smoking or vaping), it converts into THC — the compound that does create psychoactive effects.

THCa is the raw, non-psychoactive form of THC. Once it’s heated, it becomes THC and delivers the effects cannabis is best known for — like euphoria, relaxation, or mental stimulation.

Yes. THCa is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill as long as the product contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC before decarboxylation. The THCa flower and concentrates at The Dispensary on Main in Galesburg, IL are compliant with both federal and Illinois state law.

Emerging research suggests that THCa may support:

• Reduced inflammation

• Pain relief

• Neuroprotective properties

• Nausea and appetite support
  Many people use THCa for wellness even before it’s heated or converted into THC.

Once heated, THCa feels like traditional THC. Depending on the strain, it can be calming, energizing, euphoric, or a mix of effects. At our Galesburg dispensary, we offer a wide range of strains to suit every mood.

Not necessarily stronger — but because THCa is pure and unprocessed, many users report that THCa flower feels cleaner, more flavorful, and more potent when converted. The actual effects depend on the strain and your tolerance.

Yes! If you don’t heat it, THCa won’t get you high but may still offer wellness benefits like reduced inflammation or nausea relief. Some people juice raw cannabis or use THCa topically for this reason.

At The Dispensary on Main in Galesburg, we offer:

• THCa Flower – Premium strains curated for flavor, potency, and effect

• THCa Badder – Smooth, high-potency concentrates

• THCa Vapes – Disposable and cartridge options with fast-acting relief

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating compound found in hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike THC, it won’t get you high. Instead, it interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate mood, sleep, inflammation, and stress. Many people in Galesburg turn to CBD for natural support with anxiety, pain, and overall balance.

Nope — CBD is non-psychoactive, which means it doesn’t produce a “high.” That’s one of the reasons it’s so popular in wellness routines across Galesburg. It helps promote calm, focus, and relief without affecting your mental clarity.

CBD and THC are both cannabinoids, but they work differently. THC causes a high, while CBD offers therapeutic benefits without intoxication. At The Dispensary on Main, we carry both CBD-rich and THCa-rich products so you can find the balance that works for you.

Yes! CBD derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC is fully legal in Galesburg and throughout Illinois. All of our CBD products are lab-tested and comply with federal and state guidelines.

CBD is commonly used to support:

• Anxiety and stress

• Sleep quality

• Joint and muscle pain

• Inflammation

• Focus and mood

While it’s not a cure-all, many Galesburg locals say it’s made a big difference in their wellness routine.

It depends on your goals. At The Dispensary on Main, we offer:

• CBD flower (smokable)

Our team can help guide you to the right method and dosage based on your needs.

Yes! In fact, many customers experience better results by combining cannabinoids. This is called the entourage effect, where multiple compounds work together for enhanced benefits. We can help you pair CBD with THCa or CBG for stress relief, mood support, or pain management.

CBG (cannabigerol) is often called the “mother cannabinoid” because it’s the first compound the cannabis plant produces — and it eventually turns into THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. Unlike THC, CBG is non-intoxicating and offers a unique range of benefits including focus, mental clarity, and mood support. While CBD is more common, CBG is gaining popularity fast — especially with wellness-focused customers here in Galesburg.

CBG is being studied for a wide variety of wellness uses. Customers in Galesburg use CBG to support:

• Mental clarity and focus

• Mood balance

• Digestive health

• Inflammation and discomfort

• Daily calm without feeling drowsy

It’s a great daytime option for people who want to feel better without the fog.

No — CBG is non-psychoactive, which means it won’t cause a high. It’s ideal for customers looking to stay sharp, productive, and relaxed without any intoxication.

Yes. CBG products derived from hemp (with less than 0.3% THC) are fully legal under federal and Illinois law. All of our CBG flower and products at The Dispensary on Main are compliant, lab-tested, and safe to use.

Most customers describe CBG as “clean” and “clear-headed.” It promotes a calm energy — helping you feel present and focused, but not hyper or sedated. Some compare it to a cup of green tea: uplifting without jitters.

Yes! Many people get the best effects by combining cannabinoids. CBG pairs well with CBD for all-day balance, or with THCa for added relaxation and focus. This synergy is known as the entourage effect, and we can help you find the right combo in-store.

At The Dispensary on Main, we offer:

• CBG flower (like The White CBG)

• CBG-rich blends

• CBG + CBD combinations

Our selection is always curated for potency, flavor, and clean relief.

Absolutely. Many customers in Galesburg use CBG daily to support clarity, mood, and natural stress relief. It’s non-addictive, non-intoxicating, and works well for long-term wellness routines.

Not in its raw form. THCa only becomes psychoactive when exposed to heat through smoking, vaping, or cooking — a process called decarboxylation. That’s when it converts into Delta-9 THC and delivers the high most people associate with cannabis.

THCv, or tetrahydrocannabivarin, is a rare cannabinoid found in cannabis that offers energizing, clear-headed effects. Unlike traditional THC, THCv may help suppress appetite and promote focus — making it a popular option for daytime use.

While THC is known for its psychoactive effects and CBD is non-intoxicating, THCv offers a unique middle ground. It can produce a mild, uplifting buzz without the heavy sedation of THC — and unlike CBD, it may enhance alertness and motivation.

Yes, but the high is typically lighter and shorter-lasting than THC. Many users describe it as a “clean head high” with little to no fogginess, making it ideal for creative tasks, productivity, and social settings.

Yes — THCv is federally legal when derived from hemp and contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. At The Dispensary on Main in Galesburg, IL, we only carry products that meet both federal and state regulations.

THCv may support:

• Mental clarity and focus

• Appetite control

• Uplifted mood

• Energy and motivation

It’s often chosen by people looking to stay productive or avoid the munchies.

THCv typically feels energizing and mentally stimulating. Users report increased focus, better mood, and less desire to snack. It doesn’t cause couch-lock, making it great for morning or afternoon use.

While not a weight loss product, some users say THCv helps suppress appetite, making it a potential ally for those trying to avoid overeating. More scientific research is still underway.

We carry THCv-rich flower and concentrates like our TV Special, a 1:1 blend of THCv and THCa designed for clarity and clean energy. Ask our Galesburg team for more product details!
