What is premium thca flower and why does it cost more than regular buds? Simply put, premium THCA flower is the top-tier of cannabis buds from hemp plants—the largest, most resin-covered, and carefully cultivated cuts from a harvest.
Is THCA the same as THC? No, they are not the same. THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor found in raw cannabis, while THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound that produces the “high.”
Hemp derived THCA flower is cannabis flower with high levels of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This profile makes it federally legal hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill, despite THCA converting to psychoactive THC when heated.
THCa weed is cannabis flower rich in tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, a non-psychoactive compound that converts to intoxicating THC when heated.
