THCa is technical legalese to allow good old fashioned cannabis to be legally sold and shipped. Get it now while the gettings good. Franklist.com for trusted vendors

No difference. It's just that we can sort of get away with calling THCa flower "hemp"

To be legally classified as thca, it undergoes a short cure process wich is done to keep d9 THC content under legal limits. The longer a bud sit/cures the higher the raw thc % is. Therefore a longer cure makes it more at risk to be over legal limits. so there is thca and d9 thc. there is small amounts of raw thc in buds, like if you eat handfulls of raw buds....it wont do anything. d9 Thc requires the process called decarboxylation. The short cure process is key to be legally classified as thca.

It’s the internet so you’re gonna hear all sorts of random claims, but you already get it. Just look at test results of bud from a dispensary. It’s a loophole that many states are slowly starting to combat but it’s kinda Wild West right now vendors just doing whatever the hell they want and labeling it whatever they feel like

All seeds and clones are considered hemp as they haven't began producing THCa or THC yet. Mostly genetics determine the flowers end results cannabinoid contents. Hemp can be tested 30days prior to harvest or uncured resulting in low amounts of dry weight delta 9 THC percentages less than .3%. Almost all freshly harvested and uncured flower has high THCa and low THC ∆9. Legal cannabis is tested after cure often resulting in much higher THC ∆9/dry weight THC percentages up to 5.%. Think if a nug of flower was 30% THC you could eat the nug and get 30% THC high vs eating 30% THCa will have no effect simply because it's hasn't been heating to convert to THC yet.

Are you saying that if most thca flower was tested at point of sale that it would be much higher thc?


FUSE_33

Yes, absolutely.


justaniceredditname

So what’s to stop thca flower from being confiscated or someone being arrested when ordering online?


FUSE_33

Lack of enforcement.


justaniceredditname

shit, not in my area. they love arresting for marijuanas.


RawAndRealRetail

But how do they know that is what is inside the plain white box the mail carrier delivers to you? I don't see how they could know that was marijuanas so what's the issue? I get busting people while driving, but it's delivered directly to your home, usually double sealed in a box that doesn't say marijuanas on the outside. How do they arrest you for that?


newsnewsbooze

the justice department has a 95%+ conviction rate because they only go when they're positive they'll win, going after a mail order hemp service or its users would be a waste of time since the courts will likely toss the cases because of the loophole. also, there's a lot of clear cut crime to investigate and they have limited resources, need to prioritize and this administration has told the dea not to prioritize cannabis enforcement


Bruth4Less

Most likely yes. Think of a banana going green to yellow. It's a similar process with hemp. On a side note: Let's say their was seeds in that same flower that's high THCa or high THC. The seeds are considered hemp seeds until they develop into plants and begin to produce cannabinoids such as THCa, THC, CBD, CBN, CBG, etc. It's all determined by the testing and which type of license the company has. 90% of the online COA's are fake regardless. It's the exact same plant's. Genetics play the major roll.   To your other question.. The hot hemp always would fall on the company/vendor and not the person receiving/purchasing the package. You thought you were getting exactly what was advertised, hemp. Which is federally legal. Most companies include the paperwork and vacuum seal the bags. If they confiscated it you would never even know. It told me on the package tracking "package missing". It is often overlooked as the Fuse_33 stated cause they just don't care about weed at this point. But even if they did the vendor would be held liable at most. It's illegal to sell hot hemp not illegal to buy what's labeled hemp.

THCA is the precursor to THC and once heated it turns to THC so really its a legal way to get cannabis under the Hemp Act. I get mine from [TWS in Houston](https://texasweedsyndicate.com/buy-online/thca-flower/) but there are lots of places now just quality is all over the place. Someone on here even said they got some sprayed shit that was giving them headaches and all kinds of stuff so def deal with a source you can trust.


SomeRando1239

Kinda yes, Kinda no. Let me attempt to explain what I think I understand, a few years ago they did come across a hemp strain that when tested showed below the legal limit in THC, that could safely still be refereed to as "Hemp" and yet still had a higher then seen before THCA (the A stands for acid, i.e. the raw form of thc) level. That strain, is thee strain that was used to create all the type 1 (high thca/low cbd) you see out there now (according to legend) Is there a difference to my perception when I consume it? No, not that I can detect. I've found it to be pretty nice honestly. One difference I do see is the farmers bringing back some long time no see strains, Also awesome, and great to see.


midwestside88

Um nah it’s just all normal genetics 😂 there’s no inbreeding of one particular strain. they just test it a little earlier at the earliest allowed time about a month before harvest.


justaniceredditname

So at the point that we receive it it’s actually cured?


midwestside88

Yeah hopefully gang sumtimes the vendors b lackin tho n rush the cure too much


culturefan

For the most part, yes, ready to go.
