 Something like "acid" is **never** hyphenated, nor capitalized. THCa is the correct capitalization and lack of punctuation. THCA would imply something like "Tetrahydrocannabi<a-something>". The lowercase "a" to imply acid is the correct way to do so. CBDa, CBGa, etc. THC-A would imply something like "Tetrahydrocannabinol Acetate".
-Cannabinoid names are **never** hyphenated. For example, you dont say CB-D or CB-C. THCP is THCP, you dont say "THC-Pherol", and that is //the name of the cannabinoid itself, it is not a modification to THC//. HHCP-M is Hexahydrocannabiphorol Monomethylether. You would never say "This is HHC-phorol" but you would say "This is HHCP Monomethylether", thus, HHCP-M.

+HHCP-M is Hexahydrocannabiphorol Monomethylether. Nobody would ever say "This is HHC-phorol monomethylether" but in some settings a scientist may say "This is HHCP Monomethylether", thus, HHCP-M. This is a quick rule-of-thumb that definitely has exceptions.
