THCA Flower is cannabis bud that contains high concentrations of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid THCA or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid. It is considered legal for sale if the Delta-9 THC concentration falls below the state’s limit. It is a popular option for people looking to experience the potential wellness benefits of cannabis without experiencing the high associated with THC.

Unlike THC, THCA is non-psychoactive and can be used in raw form in edibles and other creations that do not require heating. However, if heated, THCA becomes THC or Delta 9 THC, producing the psychoactive effects of marijuana. THCA hemp flower is typically grown specifically for its high concentrations of THCA and low THC content, and cultivation methods are meticulous to preserve the non-psychoactive properties.

Delta-8 THC and Sleep: Can It Really Help You Rest Better

Vaporizing is a healthier alternative to smoking THCA flower and allows for greater control of dosage. Simply load a small amount of ground-up THCA bud into the chamber of your favorite vaporizer, turn it on, and slowly inhale the vaporized oil. Hold it in your lungs for a few seconds and exhale. Repeat until your desired experience is achieved.

One common concern for those considering THCA flower is the possibility that it may show up on drug tests. Unlike THC, THCA does not cause a psychoactive effect, but it can still be detected by immunoassay screenings often used in workplaces and by government agencies. To avoid this, it’s best to avoid THCA flower altogether if you know that you may have to take a drug test in the future.
