Unraveling the Mysteries of THCa Flower
In the realm of cannabis, several compounds are regularly discussed, with THC and CBD often stealing the spotlight. However, in recent years, another compound has piqued the curiosity of both consumers and researchers: THCa. This brings us to the pressing question of "THCa Flower".
What is THCa Flower?
To begin, it's important to differentiate between THC and THCa. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It's the reason users experience a "high" when consuming marijuana. On the other hand, THCa (Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid (when eaten, but converts to THC when smoked). It's actually the precursor to THC and is found in raw and live cannabis plants. THC is only found in small amounts in fresh live cannabis (under 0.3%), and over long periods of time, or when smoking, the THCa converts to THC.
THCa Flower refers to the raw cannabis flower that predominantly contains THCa, and typically is grown under a hemp license. It's cannabis in its natural, unheated form. When you apply heat, through a process known as decarboxylation, THCa converts to THC.
Is THCa Flower the Same as Regular Flower?
Yes, the term "THCa Flower" typically refers to strains cultivated to have a higher concentration of THCa. Regular flower or traditional marijuana strains are usually recognized for their THC content, but this is actually also in the form of THCa. The difference is only around the license the grower holds. While recreational or medical marijuana growers could also call their crop THCa Flower, the term typically is used for the hemp market only to distinguish between legal CBD hemp and legal THCa hemp.
How Strong is THCa Flower?
Consider this flower equivalent in potency and effects to anything you would normally buy from a dispensary or street dealer. The THCa Flower on our website contains anywhere from 15-35% THCa depending on the quality tier, and the extracts can contain up to 99% THCa in the case of our THCa Diamonds. But when buying from Only Gas, you can be sure the product comes with the same strict standards as the recreational cannabis markets, and none of the hassle or absurd prices!
Can You Consume THCa Flower Like Regular Cannabis?
Yes, you can! If you were to smoke or vaporize THCa Flower, the heat would convert most of the THCa to THC, resulting in psychoactive effects. Remember, this is the same exact plant you are used to, the only difference is the legal structure we operate under. Although its possible to make edibles with THCa flower also, we suggest using an extract instead like our Live Hash Rosin, or THCa Sugar Diamonds.
Why Would Someone Choose THCa Flower Over Traditional Flower?
THCa Flower is an excellent choice for those who are looking for the best bang for their buck and the convince of ordering from the comfort of their own home. We deliver and our products are federally legal! That is the huge benefit that turns most consumers to the THCa market. Why would you want to deal with sketchy drug dealers or drive across town to the dispensary to pay their crazy prices when we have the best deals and ship to you.
Final Thoughts On THCa Flower
The world of cannabis is vast, and THCa Flower is just another fascinating chapter in this ever-evolving story. With the way the laws are now, we are blessed to be offering cannabis users more choices and accessibility to the plant tailored to their specific needs and preferences. Always remember to consult with a healthcare professional before trying any new cannabis product.
