Hood Candy – THCA – Top Shelf

What is THCA Flower?

THCA, short for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a natural cannabinoid found in raw cannabis. THCA is the acidic form of delta-9 THC, the main intoxicating compound in cannabis. It cannot produce psychoactive effects until it is converted into THC through processes such as decarboxylation, which involves exposing it to heat or light.

How Does THCA Differ from THC?

The major difference lies in psychoactivity. THCA doesn’t create a high until it’s decarboxylated, which occurs through heat application. This process converts THCA into THC, the compound that interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to produce psychoactive effects.

Is THCA Flower Legal?

Under current regulations, THCA flowers fall into a gray area of the law since THCA itself is not a controlled substance until converted into THC. This can vary by location, so it’s essential to stay informed about your local laws.
