Questions About THC-A Flower
You likely have questions if you have never tried or heard about THC-A flower. Here is a short list of the most common THC-A questions.
What is THC-A?
THC-A is a cannabinoid, a naturally occurring chemical in cannabis. You may know famous cannabinoids already, like THC and CBD. However, there are over 200 cannabinoids in cannabis, THC-A included. Each cannabinoid is slightly different, but THC-A is closely related to THC, the cannabinoid responsible for the marijuana high.
THC is activated THC-A. A cannabinoid is “activated” when it heats up. Therefore, when you burn THC-A, it changes into THC. So, if you roll up THC-A flower in a joint and smoke it, you inhale THC. Therefore, the high from activated THC-A is identical to a THC high.
Is THC-A Flower Legal?
THC-A is federally legal due to the 2018 Farm Bill. The Bill legalized cannabis products containing less than 0.3% THC. Therefore, THC-A products are legal if they contain less than 0.3% THC. Even though fire causes THC-A to become THC, the federal government distinguishes between THC-A and THC.
Despite the federal government legalizing THC-A, some states restrict THC-A. States may not allow the sale of THC-A within their borders or outlaw consumption entirely. You should check your state restrictions to ensure THC-A is legal to consume in your state.
Can I Buy THC-A Online?
Yes. No matter where you live in the country, you can purchase THC-A online. The reason online purchases are completely legal is because of inter-state commerce. The federal government controls commercial sales between states. Since the federal government says THC-A is legal, it ships legally. Therefore, you can purchase THC-A online, legally, anywhere in the United States.
THC-A Flower: A Game-Changer
Now that we know more about THC-A, we can understand why THC-A is a massive development in the cannabis industry. THC-A flower is legal to buy online anywhere in the United States, and the high is identical to marijuana. Essentially, THC-A flower is legal marijuana. Now farmers and retailers nationwide race to grow and sell THC-A flower.
One essential aspect of THC-A is that it is legal cannabis flower. When you purchase other alternative cannabinoids, like Delta 8 or HHC, the products are gummies and vapes. Unlike THC-A, native Delta 8 and HHC flower does not exist. Cannabinoids like Delta 8 are extracted from hemp flower, which contains less than 0.3% THC. These cannabinoids emerge as a distillate, a viscous liquid consisting only of a cannabinoid. Companies mix the liquid into gummies or place it into vapes. There is also a process for infusing hemp flower with these cannabinoids. So, “infused flower” is hemp flower soaked in a cannabinoid distillate. These infused flower products are terrific, and are a great solution if you love flower and Delta 8 or HHC. However, THC-A does not undergo the infusion process.
This may surprise you, but marijuana is mostly THC-A. However, until now there was no reason to distinguish between THC-A and THC. Therefore, it is relatively easy for farmers to grow strains of cannabis with high THC-A and low THC. As long as farmers grow cannabis with less than 0.3% THC, it is legal to sell all over the United States. Legal THC-A might change how every cannabis farmer in the United States operates.
The Future of THC-A Flower
Since THC-A lies in a legal gray area, the future for THC-A is uncertain. The biggest question for the future of THC-A is regulation. The federal government effectively legalized THC-A with the 2018 Farm Bill, but they do not regulate THC-A. Therefore, many states create rules and regulations about THC-A within their borders. These rules and regulations vary from strict to nearly non-existent and cause confusion for many companies.
The Florida Department of Agriculture recently required an online cannabis store to pull its THC-A products. The reason was their requirements for legal THC-A flower rely on a “total THC” count, which combines THC-A and THC. However, other markets still sell THC-A to Floridians all the time. There are many other odd laws and loopholes in other states as well. Many companies might give up due to all the red tape, but there is so much demand for THC-A it is worth the hassle.
The future of THC-A might be unclear, but the industry continues to grow at a rapid pace. Although the government will likely introduce strict regulations in the future, it would be impossible to shut down the entire industry. In one form or another, THC-A flower is here to stay.
One thing that is unlikely to hang around is the “guy.” You can buy better, cost-effective, and legal marijuana online with THC-A flower. Your search for the “guy” is over, and Farma Barn is always here for your THC-A needs.
