THCA vs THC - Can You Tell Which is Which?
THCA flower refers to cannabis buds that contain high tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) levels in their raw or unheated form. THCA is the precursor to the delta-9 THC cannabinoid, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. THCA is grown similarly to THC-rich cannabis, but it's harvested and kept raw to preserve it. The growing methods are the same, with extra care to avoid heat or drying that could trigger decarboxylation.
Legal Cannabis
The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 removed hemp (cannabis with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC) from the list of controlled substances, making it legal to grow and sell in the United States. It was signed into law on December 20, 2018.
All THCA products on our website come from hemp, meaning they are federally legal. However, each state may have its own rules about hemp-derived products, so always check local laws. We're committed to providing safe, legal products.
What Are The Effects of THCA Flower?
People often use raw THCA flower because it still provides some health benefits, like supporting the body’s endocannabinoid system. However, when THCA is smoked, vaped, or heated in cooking, it goes through a process called "decarboxylation" which turns it into delta-9 THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects, or the “high.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will THCA get me high?
Yes, it will get you high—if it’s heated! THCA itself is non-psychoactive, so it won’t cause any high when consumed in its raw form. However, when THCA is exposed to heat (like when you smoke or vape it), it turns into THC, the compound responsible for the euphoric effects. So, if you’re using THCA flower and heating it, you will experience the same effects as with regular THC.
What are the best THCA flower strains?
When choosing the best THCA flower strains, quality and potency are essential factors to consider. Here are some popular strains known for their high THCA content:
- Sativa-dominant strains: Perfect for those looking for an uplifting and energizing experience.
- Indica-dominant strains: Preferred for their relaxing and stress-relieving effects.
- Hybrid strains: Provide a balanced experience, blending the benefits of both sativa and indica.
Does THCA turn into THC?
Yes, THCA flower turns into THC by smoking, vaping, or cooking it. When heat is applied, it breaks off a carboxyl group from the THCA molecule, transforming it into THC. This change gives THC the right structure to interact with the CB1 receptors in your brain, producing the "high" effect.
