WHAT IS THCA?
Did you know? Live and raw cannabis plants actually do not contain any THC. Instead, they contain THCA. THCA is the chemical precursor to THC. In its raw form, THCA is not psychoactive. But when heated, THCA becomes THC through a process called decarboxylation, unlocking its psychoactive properties. In other words, all THC is just a converted form of THCA.
But unlike THC, THCA is federally legal. This makes it a go-to option for consumers to experience the same taste, smell, and effects as THC, in a legal way. If you are intrigued, you’ve landed yourself right where you need to be! Join us as we dive into everything you need to know about THCA.
What makes THCA different from THC?
THCa does not produce psychoactive effects until it’s heated or smoked. When heated, the THCA loses a carboxyl group and becomes THC, and its psychoactive properties are “activated.” You can expect the same high you’d get from flower at your local dispensary. This allows for the legal usage of THCA with the same effects and benefits offered by THC itself.
How should you consume THCA?
If you’d like to enjoy psychoactive effects, then THCA must be heated. Flower is one of the simplest forms offered for consumption. This method retains the compound in its non-psychoactive form. However, once heated, it offers a similar high to THC. Moonwlkr focuses on THCA pre-rolls and vapes to allow for the necessary element of heat to achieve the psychoactive effects we all know and love.
How does THCA make you feel?
Although THCA in its natural state does not induce psychoactive effects, once heated, you can expect to achieve the same high you’d get from THC found at any dispensary. Thus, effects such as euphoria, altered perception, relaxation, and increased appetite are all expected, keeping in mind that everyone’s experience will be different.
I’m New to This, How Can I Use THCA?
Whether you are a seasoned stoner or new to the cannabis world THCA is a great legal alternative for everyone to try. Many factors such as tolerance, body composition including weight and metabolism, method of consumption, and experience play a role in finding the right dosage for you! Beginners should always start with small doses and pay close attention to how they feel, then slowly increase dosage as needed. Experienced users may benefit from higher doses to start, however a gradual increase should still be considered when trying anything that warrants psychoactive effects!
What Benefits Does THCA Offer?
THCA first and foremost offers accessibility for many around the United States, as it is 100% federally legal. Users have reported that THCA helps relieve pain, manage stress, induce appetite and relaxation. Always consider your individual tolerance to prevent any unwanted effects. THCA offers many of the same therapeutic benefits as traditional marijuana including anti-inflammatory effects, anti-nausea, and neuroprotective properties.
Why is THCA legal?
At the federal level, THCA enjoys legality as long as it maintains a delta-9 THC concentration below the stipulated 0.3%. This regulatory permission traces its origins back to the transformative 2018 Farm Bill, a legislative milestone that reshaped the legal landscape for cannabinoids, specifically spotlighting THCA.
Moonwlkr ensures that all of our products include no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis, so our fellow cannabis consumers can enjoy it without worry within the law.
