THCa flower refers to cannabis flower that contains high levels of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa), the non-psychoactive precursor to THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). THCa flower is known for its potential therapeutic benefits and is sought after by individuals looking for non-intoxicating cannabis products.
THCa hemp flower refers to cannabis buds with delta-9 THC levels not surpassing 0.3% by dry weight but boasting high THCa concentrations.
The legality of THCa flower depends on the jurisdiction. In many places, cannabis flower containing THCa is legal as long as it complies with local regulations regarding THC content and cultivation.
THCa flower contains higher levels of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) and lower levels of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compared to regular cannabis flower. THCa is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the intoxicating effects associated with THC.
THCa flower is believed to have various potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antiemetic properties. Some users also report relief from pain, anxiety, and other symptoms.
THCa flower can be consumed in various ways, including smoking, vaporizing, or infusing into edible products. It can also be used to make concentrates such as rosin or tinctures.
Many medical cannabis patients use THCa flower as part of their treatment regimen. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using THCa flower or any cannabis product for medical purposes.
Our inventory includes a variety of THCa flower strains, each with its unique cannabinoid profile, aroma, and effects. Some popular strains include White Widow, Northern Lights, and Grape Cream Cake.
THCa flower should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve its potency and freshness. Airtight containers such as glass jars are recommended for long-term storage.
Yes, all our THCa flower products undergo rigorous testing by third-party laboratories to ensure potency, purity, and compliance with regulatory standards. Certificates of analysis (COAs) are available upon request.
Yes, you can purchase THCa flower online through our website. We offer discreet shipping and delivery to customers in regions where THCa flower is legal. Please check your local laws and regulations before making a purchase.
While individual reactions vary, some users may experience intoxication or a “high” after smoking THCa hemp flower. It’s advisable to inform customers about this possibility and refrain from selling to minors.
Yes, THCa hemp flower contains cannabinoids, including THC, which might lead to a failed drug test. Therefore, individuals subject to drug testing should avoid using it.
Yes. Under federal law, harvested THCa hemp flower is lawful. The 2018 Farm Bill distinguishes between lawful hemp and unlawful marijuana based on delta-9 THC levels, not THCa. Cannabis, including its flowers and buds, with no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight is considered lawful hemp, regardless of the amount of THCa or other cannabinoids like CBD it contains. Additionally, the federal Controlled Substances Act excludes hemp from the definition of marijuana, meaning hemp is not an illegal controlled substance under federal law.
The DEA considers THCa hemp flower to be lawful hemp. According to the DEA, “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.”
No federal courts have specifically ruled on THCa hemp flower. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has indicated that the only statutory metric for distinguishing controlled marijuana from legal hemp is the delta-9 THC concentration level. This supports the legal status of THCa hemp flower under federal law.
No. State laws vary regarding the sale and possession of harvested hemp and hemp flower, and whether a license or permit is required. Some states consider both delta-9 THC and THCa concentrations to determine if a harvested cannabis bud is lawful hemp or unlawful marijuana. This method, known as “total THC” calculation, is used for pre-harvested hemp in all states and for harvested hemp in some states. You should not possess or sell THCa hemp flower if it is illegal in your state. Consult with a lawyer to determine the legal status of THCa hemp flower in your state.
Yes. Federal law authorizes the interstate transfer of hemp, including THCa hemp flower. According to 7 USC § 1621 subsection 10114(b), “No State or Indian Tribe shall prohibit the transportation or shipment of hemp or hemp products produced in accordance with subtitle G of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA) through the State or the territory of the Indian Tribe.” While state laws vary, they cannot prohibit the transport of hemp products through their borders.
Due to varying state laws and current confusion about the legal status of THCa hemp flower, it is not recommended to smoke it in public or have an open package in a vehicle. Additionally, it is advisable to sell it to consumers only in pre-packaged, sealed bags or containers with labels clearly stating that it is lawful hemp.
Review a lab report, called a Certificate of Analysis (COA), in conjunction with your attorney. A COA shows the levels of cannabinoids, including delta-9 THC, in a hemp product. Cookies Hemp provides a current COA for its products, ensuring compliance with federal law at the time of distribution. Importantly, if your state uses a total THC calculation for post-harvest cannabis flower, THCa hemp flower may not be legal in your state. Consult a lawyer before receiving, possessing, or selling it.
Store THCa hemp flower in a cool, dark, dry location to prevent the natural decarboxylation process, which converts THCa into delta-9 THC, potentially making the product illegal. Exposure to heat and light accelerates this conversion, so proper storage is essential.
THCa products are shipped in discreet packaging to ensure privacy and confidentiality. Packaging typically does not indicate the contents to maintain discretion during transit.
THCa products are shipped using secure and reliable shipping methods to prevent damage or loss during transit. This may include tracked shipping, signature confirmation, and insurance options for added security.
Temperature-sensitive THCa products, such as concentrates or infused edibles, may be shipped with temperature control measures to prevent exposure to extreme heat or cold, which could affect product quality.
Some THCa products, particularly concentrates or delicate items, may be vacuum-sealed to protect them from air and moisture, preserving their potency and freshness during shipping.
Fragile THCa products, such as glass containers or delicate edibles, may be cushioned with protective materials, such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts, to prevent breakage or damage during transit.
THCa products may be subject to shipping restrictions in certain regions or countries due to legal or regulatory considerations. It’s essential to verify shipping restrictions and compliance with local laws before placing an order.
