What is THCa flower?
THCa is short for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. This is an acidic cannabinoid and is the precursor to THC, the psychoactive compound responsible for the intoxicating effects commonly associated with cannabis.
THCa flower is cannabis buds that contain a high concentration of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) in raw form. THCa flower typically contains high amounts of THCa, but Delta 9 THC levels cannot exceed 0.3% by dry weight, per 2018 Farm Bill regulations.
In its unheated form, THCa is non-psychoactive. However, when exposed to heat, its chemical structure changes and it converts to THC. Traditionally, THCa can be smoked or vaped to experience psychoactive effects and therapeutic potential.

What’s the difference between THC and THCa?
HCa and THC are two cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. THCa is the precursor to THC and is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid in its natural state.
When heated, THCa undergoes a process called decarboxylation, where the THCa converts to THC by removing a carboxyl ring. This chemical reaction causes the molecular structure of THCa to turn into THC. Unlike THCa, THC is able to bind to the body's CB1 receptors, which is what results in a "high."
This process is what activates the psychoactive properties of THC and creates that euphoric sensation that comes with cannabis consumption.
So, while THCa does not produce intoxicating effects on its own, it can convert to THC, and THC does have psychoactive properties. When consumed in its natural state, THCa is known to have potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and therapeutic effects.
Converting THCa to THC is as simple as lighting up a joint rolled with the finest THCa flower. You can also vape THCa to experience the psychoactive effects of THC. All of these methods of consumption can convert THCa into THC and produce psychoactive side effects.

What are the effects of THCa flower?
Many people consume THCa raw to experience its potential benefits without psychoactive effects. Consuming THCa flower raw won't produce the same euphoric sensation that is often associated with marijuana. However, when THCa is heated by smoking or vaping, you can experience psychoactive effects.
The bottom line is that THCa on its own does not yield psychoactive effects. However, when smoked or vaped, THCa turns to THC and can result in a "high."
-
Is THCa legal?
Per the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp and cannabis are legal as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. As long as your THCa hemp flower contains less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, it can be considered legal according to federal regulations.
Most states follow federal law when it comes to THCa hemp products. However, THCa may be subject to strict local regulations in some states or provinces. Be sure to thoroughly review all applicable rules and guidelines before purchasing or consuming THCa hemp flower.

-
Will THCa show up on a drug test?
Consuming THCa may result in a positive drug test, but this can depend on a few factors, including how much THCa flower you use. Most drug tests screen for THC metabolites. Because THCa can be converted into THC in the body, it can trigger a positive reading on a drug test.
Even if your THCa products are derived from federally legal hemp flower, many drug tests cannot differentiate between legal and illegal amounts of THC.
-
How long does THCa stay in your system?
The length of time THCa stays in your system may vary depending on factors such as individual metabolism, body composition, and frequency of use. Traces of THCa can last between a few hours and several days. Read more here.
