What is THC-A Flower?
THC-A Flower refers to unprocessed, raw buds containing high percentages of THC-A – otherwise known by its full name, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid.
What’s the difference between THC-A and THC?
Not a huge amount, actually. Without getting too deep into the science, THC-A is simply the precursor to THC. It is a compound that converts to THC when exposed to heat. When heat is applied to THC-A flowers, the THC-A decarboxylates, resulting in it losing one of its carboxyl groups and converting into THC. THC has a very similar structure to anandamide, one of the cannabinoids that naturally occur in the human body, making it very easily absorbed by our systems.
Is THC-A Flower Actually Legal?
That really depends on where you live. Although the FDA does not explicitly ban the production and sale of THC-A flowers – which essentially makes THC-A flowers legal at the federal level – certain states do ban it. This is due to the fact that THC-A is the precursor to THC. At the time of writing, there are only four states within the continental United States that explicitly ban THC-A flower – OR, ID, MN, and AR.
So, if you live outside of these four states, buying and possessing THC-A flower is legal!
What is High THC-A flower?
High THC-A flower is simply just that, cannabis flower containing a high amount of THC-A. For a flower to be classed as “high THC-A”, it needs to test out at above 1% THC-A.
So why buy THC-A Flower?
Well for starters, in their raw, un-decarbed form they allow you to enjoy the natural benefits of cannabis.
Purchasing THC-A hemp flower is convenient, easy, and safe thanks to its legal standing. You can get THC-A hemp flowers delivered directly to your doorstep.
