THCA is what the plant produces. In this form it is not activated (i.e. it wont get you high). The corboxyl acid group is removed when heat, oxygen, or light are applied. When you smoke a bowl or take a dab, that acid group breaks off releasing CO2 and activating it. This is called decarboxylation.
