What is THCa Flower?

Definition of THCa Flower
THCa flower refers to cannabis buds that contain high levels of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa), which is a non-psychoactive compound found in raw cannabis plants. Unlike delta-9 THC, which is the psychoactive component that produces a “high,” THCa does not induce psychoactive effects unless it undergoes a process called decarboxylation. This process typically occurs when the flower is heated through methods such as smoking, vaping, or cooking, converting THCa into THC.

THCa flower is a type of cannabis that contains high levels of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa), which becomes psychoactive only when heated through processes like smoking or cooking. It is federally legal if it contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC and can be used in various ways depending on user preferences regarding psychoactivity.
