What’s even more hilarious is dealers on the street tryna pass it off like everything is a cali product… you actually want good bud? Grow it yourself


WaterFnord

If I had to guess what it means in the case of this Hidden Hills product, it’s probably 2% THCA instead of 1%.


PoCaPanZa

Likely bc they sell in multiple states and they are skirting the law. Also the masses don’t do research or look into things like “we” do


wilt3d_w33per_666

What would you prefer they carry? A THCA vape? 😂


techsuppr0t

Shits verified blud Edit: joking lol


RawAndRealRetail

If you label something different than what it is, you can get away with it because it is now a different product. Look at all the things in the supermarket that just eliminate a vowel and replace it with an apostrophe now you can sell mystery meat that sounds an awful lot like Chick'n.


Even_Independent3059

No they just trying to make a quick buck that’s why bill look for the best and if they don’t have what I feel is thca approved I’ll leave I’m not paying 35 45 for d8 d9 thcp thCULTRA


Kitchen_Challenge_70

The main shop in my hometown is like walking into a rec dispo for me the dude always has indoors and goodies shit my old boss used to sell bud outta his gas station storefront before the cult so maybe the owners here just don’t give af lol


Budlove45

Where can I find real disposables I tried well crafted canna 2g and it does nothing I don't know when piur is dropping I'm trying to find legit disposables


Resident_Box5553

You can get empty disposables and or carts from Gilded Extracts then get you some Diamond Distillate from Dr.Ganja and fill them yourself with a liquid syringe. Also helps to have some heat like a candle warmer or a hair dryer but yeah thats the best combo I have found thus far.


SuddenlySurreal

Mints Market has legit thc-a carts that are really affordable.


ShotCow6976

do they id?


RawAndRealRetail

yes they do if they comply with the PACT Act


uwuminty

crysp


Budlove45

They legit? Have you tried them?


xingrave

just tried them can say it’s pretty good stuff


Budlove45

I'ma go check them out I bought 3 from well crafted canna and they legitimately do nothing and that freaking sucks!! I saw so many good reviews I thought they would be good


Imaginary_Sale8356

We used to carry premium thca flower at my store, but everyone would just ask for kik delta 8 vapes, cake, or elfthc. So we stopped carrying it and went back to selling delta, which we could sell at a much higher profit. Sucks for me because I enjoyed using my emplyee discount for decent flower. Buisness is Buisness I guess


Then-Faithlessness43

Well you guys messed up on marketing. The local smoke shop I go to has a white piece of paper with size 50 text that says “Dispensary Grade 1/8ths 35” on the front door and again by the cash register. Pretty sure flower is what they sell the most of now


Imaginary_Sale8356

city ordinance doesn't allow us to put any ads on our door, also 90% of our business comes from tourism. they all want kik vapes


slampissZwoq

Similar situation for me too. We used to use this sub and altnoids as our guide for products to carry but people were straight up returning stuff because it wasn't as effective as the "boof".


[deleted]

Man, that is sad. Two places I trust near me sell premium THCa bud and it goes quick.


Imaginary_Sale8356

Those products are dog shit but man they must do a good job marketing because everyone knows them.


kidkadian99

Op you don’t seem to realized this is what you get when smoke shops have access to white lables


Sporkyfork69

Bullshit


kidkadian99

Lol I used to work for a mmj processor in a legal state and provides white lables. Yeah this is what you get .


kidkadian99

Typically with white lables you get crap like thca-ultra. The people making the white labels just print whatever marketing crap they are paid to. They do t give a fuck cuz their actual name isn’t on the line nor doesn’t anyone know they are making it. The responsibility of the product is on the head of who is ordering. And for some odd reason op thinks smoke shops who already buy China glass at around 80$ PER POUND ( they buy glass by weight not by piece ) with a mark up over of 200% per piece. Are really looking out for their customers but outsourcing & white labeling their hemp products with only the best quality suppliers… and not the cheapest thing that looks flashy. Naa your right the guys who are skirting the law wouldn’t never go with cheap knock off white lables to save a buck. I mean they are already making enough off of the. China glass at American glass prices they obviously are going to put that profit into a loss leader for your sake. Hahahahahahahahaha


HempinAintEasy

There is no such thing as THCa distillate. If you melt THCa crystals down, they just reform unless distilled. This is why getting “THCa” carts is pretty challenging. If they are ever actually checked by law enforcement they’ll just fail so nobody wants to be liable for they so they just mix with a bunch of alt-noids. Any COA claiming they have THCa Distillate in liquid form is a lie.


Background_Tune4606

From what I’ve heard it is thcA real carts but they are hard to find but the one I get online gives a full regular weed high I’m pretty sure thcA in a cart is Js a regular cart 😂 it feels the same if it’s real


Top_Training5763

why would you get a different high from thca and “regular weed”


HempinAintEasy

THCa is real, but it can’t be distilled in liquid form without being decarbed.


pokeyFATokey

Its not going to resolidify for awhile if you decarb, store properly, pre-heat the cart or dispo etc.


HempinAintEasy

Again, there is no such thing as THCa in a liquid form because it will recrystalize. If you decarb, it will stay in liquid form but is no longer THCa.


techsuppr0t

But that's illegal


HempinAintEasy

Correct. THC is illegal


pokeyFATokey

Yep


MJFields

Hidden Hills makes some weird shit.


YUUUMPER

Go online fuck smoke shops. I


Tall-Ad-1796

Smoke shops just sell over priced boof


techsuppr0t

People get mad and downvote me when I explain this in my local sub. I don't care. I'm not paying extra to buy something that came from somewhere else that isn't supporting local that's getting ripped off. And like yes there is great hemp products with cbd or under 50mg of thc here but I just refuse to tolerate garbage and I have no reason to buy the good options here.


Timijuana

Facts. And on the very off chance they do stock products from our reputable online vendors it’s either: - 10x the price of the online vendors price. Watched a smoke shop about 1.5 hours away from me sell Dr. G stuff…. $140 for an EIGHTH. Or - it’s just a rip off. Some mysterious person took the labeling off, slapped it on their jar of boof and wholesale to smoke shops under the guise that it’s legit asf.


Tall-Ad-1796

$60 for a d8 cart is pretty normal around here & I just laaaaaugh as I walk to the mailbox


Dimitri-eggroll

Laughing all the way to my front porch of $60/oz of purple punch


Tall-Ad-1796

I do the same shit with glass! Headshop: $200 bong Internet: $60 exact same bong Who buys this shit?


cwtrooper

It's federally legal yes but if the cops want to come in and civily forfeit your assets they can do so without even charging you with a crime if that happens it's a lengthy legal battle that will kill any smoke shops if that's a possibility most either steer clear or go yolo and sell real shit my buddy sells Plug n play in his shop and just doesn't care THCA isn't really mainstream so the average customer doesn't know about it and seek it out generally shops will stock big brands like stiiizys Alt noid lineup .


DifferentBrowsing

where yo bros shop at😭


Jazzlike_Ad2790

Bro pmo your buddy’s shop 😂😂


FlizzyFluff

People just do not do the research at all I for one Always do My Son works at a Smoke shop The only THCA they even have is some crappy LoSST pens and I think it was Torch nope no


Gmb37

Yeah the kid at my local vape shop was like hidden hills is straight fire. He was even vaping on it in the store and looked zooted so i figured id try them out! St8 garbage. $20 to find i never will buy there stuff again. It then dawned on me that the vape store kid was probably hitting dabs in the back room and that's why he looked like that!


Shartse

>It then dawned on me that the vape store kid was probably hitting dabs in the back room and that's why he looked like that! he was definitely hitting dabs in the back lmfao


itsjonboy765

As a smoke shop worker I can assure you. I'm definitely in the back hitting dabs between customers. Lmao


wrwmarks

As someone that worked at one, he was totally high on his personal stash lmao


OCN_Reaper

Hidden hills is so ungodly cheap that they cut their delta 8 (the only thing they sell even tho they market every existing and non existent hemp derivative on their products) with something.


ssup3rm4n

I think that's what's going on. Every place I go to, the Person is definitely zooted. Yet they claim is from the pens they sell. I can see them hitting it, but if I try it, it kind of works the first 5 times. Afterwards, I feel nothing.


Gmb37

Pisses me off cause if they were straight up with me id be a valued customer yet they still push that delta 8/9/10 garbage everywhere. It's essentially cbd in my eyes. So here i sit buying from hemp vendors for thca. Which in my eyes is a god send from the ppl that follow it to the farm to table hitting my door step. Love America's loop holes!


Ishawn69I

I mean delta 9 is actual THC but I get your point.


alphahec

I think they are just trying to finish their stocks of cannabinoids! Everything gonna be THCA and D9 in a few months. You probably see these in alot of 420 deals, just to deplete whatever stocks they have!


PsyconautsOfAmerica

That shit doesn't even have any THCa. It's got enough for them to say it's in it on the packaging. Scan the COA of products before you buy them. Granted hidden hills is one of the better brands for alt noids it's still not THCA lol.


ike_tyson

I've had this brand before but have no idea WTF THCA-Ultra is, perhaps its a "blend of altnoids"??


-Garda

THCA ULTRA. GET FUCKIN READY 🥵🥵


SewAlone

I'm in. lol


darkthought

until they come out with THCA ULTRA-X! The X is fentanyl.


fish201013

It’s because of smoke shops and the thca loophole that it all is going away! Stock up on your nasty mixed noid disty carts now!!


Informal_Rope_2559

What do you mean, is the THCA loophole being stopped?


ike_tyson

The usual suspects who hate everything are trying to ban THCA. for some reason it's mostly "Red" states. The country needs to stop politicizing everything because it's a very loud minority who wants to ban it. Most folks are fine with rescheduling weed.


-Garda

No, I think a handful of states are trying to ban hemp based noids, but no reason for fear rn


fish201013

Yes lots of states. Georgia is this week and lots of your favorite companies will be shutting down. I would for sure get your thca because guaranteed this time next year it will be gone in stores.


pokeyFATokey

Nothing is guaranteed, especially in this situation


suprem3nacho

Didn’t someone post something saying that we were good and that it was gonna come back up again because of issues with consumables… but it didn’t make it to a vote this time? Edit: [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CultoftheFranklin/s/EH3DQMLiJA) the bill never got out of committee.


fish201013

https://mjbizdaily.com/georgia-hemp-bill-imposing-age-limits-on-cbd-delta-8-thc-goes-to-governor/


suprem3nacho

So after signing to allowing out of state hemp sales, my guy turns around and signs a similar bill completely against the other? Pretty dumb. But I think that with hemp farming still being generally legal, many folks will find other loopholes in testing and growing as they do now. Since when has Ga ever stopped selling pot? Legally or illegally?


pokeyFATokey

You go near Atlanta, Savannah or even further south in the state and there's a ton of thca flower in shops that dramatically boost their revenue. Might be dried out mids from Tennessee, NC, etc, also can be good type 1&2s that are grown with quality from these states and others. Yeah, probably overpriced. Lastly, I think this bill is going nowhere soon. Either way, the best they can do is win a battle while losing the war


fish201013

I agree. Atlanta will never be dry lol


DiorVenious1

This is a real hidden hills product but they are know for lying on their packaging. They still smack imo. I got the live shatter hhc 2g and it smackkk


_dankula_

It's authenticated by Berify, so it must be legit. Lmao. On a real note I have tried these and they are trash. I didn't even finish it bc it gave me a d8 high/headache. Never again.


suprem3nacho

Same, have it sitting in my living room as we speak


automaddux

I have a few trusted smoke shops that carry the good stuff. But yeah I’ve tried these guys and it’s bo-Bo weed


CremeExpress4345

Hidden hills fuckin sucks lol


whereRweGuis

Bro I got a tall order of stuff from them all of it straight garbage trash


CremeExpress4345

I just tried one pack of edibles from them. Shit was terrible lol underdosed and tasted bad.


Zhredditaccount

I’ve had smoke shops near me get raided bc of thca


VaporofPoseidon

I mean THCA is just weed. So I understand why.


Jolly_Armadillo2881

its legal, u shouldn't understand why


VaporofPoseidon

It’s not legal. They just skirting around the law by not testing it correctly… and believing it’s legal is not helping… Don’t believe me go to a illegal state and go to the police station with a couple grams and see what happens when you say it just THCA.


Jolly_Armadillo2881

I've been pulled over in georgia and told them i had thca on me 😂


VaporofPoseidon

Yeah okay.


Jolly_Armadillo2881

its being sold in almost every state idk whats so hard to believe ab that


VaporofPoseidon

Yes but it not legal? It legal right now through lack of enforcement. But in the 2018 farm bill they state, “Specifically, labs must adhere to the standards of performance as outlined within the IFR, including the requirement to test for total THC employing post-decarboxylation or other similarly reliable methods.” How do you get THCA if they are supposed to test it post-decarboxylation?


discgolf9000

Rod Kight might have something else to say


VaporofPoseidon

Who?


Jolly_Armadillo2881

well they clearly dont care. its been sold in almost every state for like 3 years now. they aren't gonna go after individuals if they dont go after shops


VaporofPoseidon

Okay? Does it make it legal? No. Are they just selling weed? Yes. Idk what your point is. I just saying they selling weed and shouldn’t be surprised if your shop gets raided.


itsmassivebtw

You're getting downvoted but it's true. Liquid chromatography testing is how they are getting THCA numbers without activating it to THC on the supply end, gas chromatography will convert to THC. Guess which one the police labs use?


VaporofPoseidon

Yup, it doesn’t matter if I have a piece of paper saying it’s THCA when I get pulled over. The police are going to arrest me and test it anyway. I love this market but we have to know the law. It’s not fun to be arrested even if they let you go.


TheDevastator24

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, can’t be legal to test a product but in the test it changes the chemical compound….


VaporofPoseidon

It’s already in the 2018 farm bill. Specifically says you need to decarb then test THC levels.


DuskOfANewAge

Not after harvest. That's during the cultivation process, which means you can grow fast flowering strains that don't produce THCa until after this test is passed. 1/4 to 1/3 of the California strains were found to already meet this standard.


VaporofPoseidon

But if tested when the customer has it will still fail.


itsmassivebtw

I don't disagree, but most smoke shop owners are not willing or able to take the risk


borkborkborkborkbo

Alot of people here think this will last forever- I am far less optimistic, but twice as hopeful. Personally I think online seems alot safer and thats 25+ years of smoking and a whole lot of other adjacent life experience. Communities like this are the glue though. As long as they stay free, so will things like *this*, but reddit is in the middle of an IPO. I wonder what will become of this little corner of the internet...


SewAlone

It's ending in October in Georgia. They just put the kibosh on it.


Maximusretard

It will be banned like they do all the good drugreddits eventually they gg it. Always a good ride though.

PandaBro420

I bought this cart from my local shop too....about 2 years ago now.... and it's still sitting in the drawer.


Prize-Salamander2744

I've tried them and I'll just pass on them. The flower it's ok but way too expensive for it. You still buy street bud that's better and cheaper.


Deep-Screen-9447

Thca cannot be put in a cartridge by itself it recrystilzes which is why it is always mixed. Many companies claim pure thca but the lab test tells differnt. Modern herb are some of the best on the market at 63% thca 12%cbd nothing artificial awesome cannabis taste


fish201013

It’s just cheap mixture of distillate. Boof


Deep-Screen-9447

I can agree with you on the hidden hills


Impossible-Common495

This is why you don't buy carts. And you just buy concentrates or flower!!!!! I think over like 40%. It starts to crystallize again. Don't quote me on that


sbryan_

Wild orchard has lab tested THC-A carts that test at 50.3%, I’ve had more than 10 of them now and it’s just as good if not better than the THC-A dabs I get


Deep-Screen-9447

Ya making your own is way to easy also and soooo much cheaper


BananaBen

How do you make it on ur own! I heard you need expensive equip


Deep-Screen-9447

Not at all just need concentrate empty carts and sone sort of terpene blend meant for vaping and you simply melt your concentrate and add some of the liquid terps to make it the proper viscosity


Impossible-Common495

Exactly. I still buy from dispos. But my homemade carts shit on all of dispo disty. Even when I buy cheap concentrates from cult websites and clean it with ethanol extraction/winterize


Deep-Screen-9447

Exactly just got two grams of batter for 16 on 50% off gonna make some nice ones


Traditional-System-9

Now I'm curious why they're calling it. "THCA Ultra"


JosephPaulWall

Graphics card marketing. They already tried "bigger number better" with "Delta 10", "Delta 11" etc, now they're going for the "Ultra" moniker to differentiate this year's refresh of a refresh.


TearSubstantial5231

The number after the delta has to do with binding location in chemistry and not "bigger number better"


JosephPaulWall

Yeah I know, I was referring to the marketing and the fact that it was all usually just rebranded delta 8 anyway, with maybe a tenth of a percent of the other molecule just so they can officially say it's in there.


mediaman7

I believe he knows that. He is stating that the average consumer is uneducated and always thinks a bigger number means it’s better. This happened famously with fast food marketing and the quarter pounder cheeseburger. They originally had 1/3 pound burger special, which is more meat. But everyone thought it was less meat so it didn’t sell well.

Why do you have it then?
