Before states legalized cannabis, there wasn’t much choice when it came to buying cannabis flower. For those who can remember, just finding a reliable source of flower was a challenge. If whatever you purchased was good, that was just a bonus. With the proliferation of modern cannabis farming and sales, if you purchase substandard flower it’s a significant disappointment. Finding high-quality flower is essential for anyone looking to maximize every smoking session and make every hard-earned dollar last. Here at Farma Barn, we prioritize the purity of all our products and strive to keep them accessible. Farma Barn’s THCa flower is no exception, as we aim to bring our premium products straight from the farm to your grinder.
As stated previously, buying exceptional cannabis rather than whatever one can get their hands on is a new idea to many. Although any stoner knows good flower when they get their hands on it, they may not realize exactly what makes it primo stuff. In this review of Farma Barn THCa Flower, we will explain precisely why our products are a cut above our competitors. 
However, many of you who are unfamiliar with THCa might have questions about the specifics of Farma Barn’s THCa Flower. What is THCa? Will it get me high like marijuana? Is THCa legal in my state? So, before we dive into our product review, we will address any and all questions you have about THCa.
What is THCa?
You are likely familiar with the most abundant compound in cannabis, THC, which is primarily responsible for the euphoric high. However, THC is not the only compound in cannabis that causes a high. These unique organic compounds in cannabis are known as cannabinoids. These cannabinoids possess a variety of effects, ranging from the intense high of THC to the benign relaxation of CBD.
THCa is one of these many cannabinoids. Unsurprisingly, it is very similar to THC. The primary chemical difference between the two cannabinoids is that THCa has an additional carbon ring. With this carbon ring attached, THCa is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning it does not cause a high. However, one can remove this carbon ring and change THCa to THC through a process called “activation.” Although this may initially seem complicated, all one needs to “activate” THCa is to heat it. So, if one lights up a joint of THCa, the flame will “activate” the THCa and turn it into pure THC.
Furthermore, if you tried cannabis from a dispensary before, you likely looked at the THC percentage on the label. The THC percentage of cannabis flower is actually a measurement of total THC, which combines both THCa and THC. The percentage of THCa typically dwarfs that of THC, as flower that says it’s 25% THC is likely around 23% THCa and 2% THC. Since almost everyone will burn the flower, it makes little difference to distinguish between them. However, the legality of THCa products depends on the legal distinction between THC and THCa.
Is THCa Legal?
THCa lies in a legal gray area that constantly continues to change and shift. It all began in 2018 when the federal government passed another iteration of the Farm Bill. This Farm Bill legalized hemp products, which the government defined as cannabis products that contain less than 0.3% THC. This legal definition of hemp opened the door for legal cannabis products, such as CBD, Delta 8, and THCa.
Essentially, THCa products that contain less than 0.3% THC fall under the hemp classification. Therefore, they possess a different legal status than traditional cannabis products. Since the federal government legalized hemp products, THCa is legal in many more states than have legal cannabis. Even if your state does not have legal cannabis, there is a good chance that THCa products are legal.
Before purchasing THCa products, you should check the legal status of THCa in your state. Although the 2018 Farm Bill is a federal law, states still have the ability to create legislation concerning the legality of hemp products. Many states recently introduced, or are planning to introduce, legislation surrounding THCa products. Therefore, even if you previously purchased THCa products, you should double-check that they are legal in your state before buying again. If everything checks out, you’re in luck, because Farma Barn’s THCa flower rivals the best dispensary flower on the market.
Review of Farma Barn’s THCa Flower
When you get your hands on Farma Barn’s THCa flower, the first thing you will notice is the smell. Upon opening the sealed jar, the dank smell instantly assaults your nostrils. By the smell alone, one can tell the flower is kept at optimal humidity to keep the bud moist. Similarly, one notices how sticky the flower is when they remove it from the jar and grind it up. The grinder takes a few more turns than usual to entirely cut up the flower, an excellent sign that it is oozing with potent cannabinoids.
My preferred way to smoke is by rolling up a joint. For anyone else who loves joints or blunts, the stickiness makes it superbly easy to pack. The flower also burns supremely well, so even if you didn’t pack the joint perfectly, it will still smoke smooth.
Now for the all-important part, the high. Although everyone experiences cannabis slightly differently, anyone will notice that the flower is just as potent as the label says. Farma Barn’s THCa flower ranges from ~25% to over 30% THCa, and you will definitely feel it. For those who are self-described “lightweights” like myself, I recommend erring on the smaller side when you smoke. Even then, you’ll probably ride a stronger high than you expected.
This time I tried our Zlurpee strain, which struck an excellent balance between mind and body-high. My buddies and I could hang out without going totally catatonic and drifting out of reality. However, we all still felt a pronounced sense of relaxation. If you need to unwind after a long week, Zlurpee comes highly recommended by me. Without a doubt, Farma Barn’s THCa flower will keep any stoner coming back for more.
