How's THCa Flower Made, Man?
THCa flower comes to life through hydroponic growers using a wicked enzyme in their nutrients, keeping THCa from turning into THC. They stick to popular cannabis strains and make sure the final product stays within the legal limit of Industrial Hemp, which means less than 0.3% THC by dry weight.
How's THCa Get You High If It's Chillin' in THCa?
Even though THCa doesn't have the trippy effects of THC in its raw state, it's got its own therapeutic groove. THCa is the acidic version of THC, believed to have plenty of benefits. To unleash the psychoactive vibes of THCa, it has to go through decarboxylation, which is like heating it up or lighting it up. Heating THCa turns it into THC, giving you the classic marijuana high. That's why THCa flower needs heat before you consume it to activate those psychoactive effects. It also acts as a CB1 receptor antagonist, meaning it can chill out the psychoactive effects of THC when they're together.
Is THCa Legal, Dude?
Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, THCa is legal, man. This bill legalized industrial hemp and products made from it, including THCa flower. As long as THCa flower has less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, it's cool under federal law.
What Kind of Effects Does THCa Flower Give?
THCa flower can bring you the same vibes as regular THC and marijuana, but only after it's heated and decarboxylated. Until then, THCa flower won't make you high but might still offer some therapeutic benefits.
How Do I Use THCa Flower?
To use THCa flower, you gotta heat it up to transform THCa into THC. You can do this by sparking it up with fire or baking it in an oven at around 200-250°F for 30-40 minutes. Remember, heating the flower is what turns it into THC, making it active.
Did the DEA Really Say THCa Flower Is Legal? For Real!
On January 6, 2022, the DEA made it clear: “material that is derived or extracted from the cannabis plant such as tissue culture and any other genetic material that has a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis meets the legal definition of “hemp” and is thus not controlled under the CSA.”
Can I Get in Trouble with THCa Flower?
THCa flower is legal in its unheated and unsmoked state. But driving around while smoking THCa flower ain't cool, man, since heating it up changes its chemical makeup, potentially leading to illegal THC levels in the flower and your system.
Does THCa Flower Get You High?
Yeah, THCa flower can get you high, but only after it's heated and decarboxylated to turn THCa into THC. Until then, THCa flower won't make you high, but it might still have some therapeutic benefits.
What's the Difference Between THCa and THC?
THCa and THC are related but have some key differences. THCa, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the acidic form of THC, found in the raw cannabis plant. It doesn't have any psychoactive effects on its own. THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the well-known psychoactive compound in marijuana that gives users the "high" feeling. Let's dive deeper into their differences:
Why's the THCa in this trippy sealed can?
THCa flower is sealed in a nitrogen-flushed container to keep it fresh and potent. Nitrogen-flushed packaging is popular in the food industry to prevent spoilage and maintain product quality. By replacing oxygen with nitrogen, THCa flower is protected from light, air, and moisture, all of which can degrade its quality. The sealed container also stops oxidation and the breakdown of THCa into THC, which would make it illegal. When you open the container, you'll hear a whooshing sound – that's the nitrogen pressure, ensuring you get the best THCa flower when you're ready to use it.
How to Read the THCa Lab Reports:
When looking at one of our lab reports for our THCa flower strain called Gorilla Cookies.
The report shows individual cannabinoid testing, then a summary of Total THC, Total THC + Delta 8, Total CBD, and Total CBG. Then you have a total summary of all cannabinoids. First, note that the Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta 9 THC) comes out to 0.24% or 2.42 mg a gram. This is the legal limit of Delta 9 THC of <0.3% of Delta 9 THC by Dry Weight. The next thing you need to take into account is that these lab reports are reporting the analysis on a gram of flower. If your flower container is 3.5 grams, then you need to multiply your Total Cannabinoids x 3.5 (216.69 x 3.50) = 758.41 Total Cannabinoids. To figure out the total amount of Delta 9 THC you would take the Delta 9 THC line 2.42mg x 3.5 = 8.47. Now, remember, the reason this flower is legal is because all the THC is locked up in the acidic form, THCa. To convert that over for decarboxylation we use the formula (THCa x 0.877 + Delta 9 THC) or in this lab report’s instance (82.34 x 0.877 + 2.42) = 74.63mg/g. Then take this amount multiplied by the amount of grams of flower you have, let’s say 3.5g which would equal 261.21 Total Delta 9 THC.
