To keep it simple: THCa hemp flower is cannabis! The only difference? It’s legal. Legally THCA flower qualifies as hemp.
RESTART offers you premium hemp cannabis that is legal under federal law. Our flower is harvested and preserved at peak freshness. In Texas you can’t get medical marijuana flower, and in other states can’t get medical marijuana flower without a prescription. As for recreational marijuana, you would need to be in a state where it’s legal. Federally, however, marijuana IS NOT legal, but hemp-derived THCA flower is. It also comes with COA and extensive testing which beats black-market weed. Because we grow it to meet the strictest lab results for Texas THCa hemp flower laws—not “marijuana.”
THCA stands for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, a non-psychoactive compound found in raw cannabis plants. It’s essentially the precursor to THC, the compound responsible for the “high” commonly associated with marijuana. When cannabis is heated through smoking, vaping, or cooking, THCA converts to THC through a process called decarboxylation.
Unlike THC, THCA doesn’t produce intoxicating effects on its own. This makes it appealing to those looking for potential therapeutic benefits without the high.
If you are using the flower form of THCA, make sure it comes from a reputable source. As with any flower, it may contain pesticides, so you want to use a vendor that conducts lab tests to confirm the purity of its product (you can see Restart CBD’s lab tests here).
In the real world (your brain, your lungs): no difference. In the legal world: there’s a line in the sand. Here’s the breakdown: Both are grown the same. Both deliver the same psychoactive effects when smoked (because THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) turns into Delta-9 THC when heated). Legally, hemp flower must have less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC in its raw form. That’s it. Same cannabis, one is hemp and the other is marijuana. But now you can enjoy it legally.
Research into THCA is still in its early stages, but preliminary findings suggest it may offer several health-related benefits:
While THC and THCA are closely related, their effects and properties are distinct:
Property | THCA | THC |
Psychoactivity | Non-psychoactive | Psychoactive |
Activation Process | Requires heat (decarboxylation) | Active in its natural form |
Common Uses | Raw consumption, juicing | Smoking, vaping, edibles |
If you’re interested in trying THCA, there are a few ways to incorporate it into your routine:
The legal status of THCA can vary depending on your location. Since it’s non-psychoactive in its raw form, it often falls into a legal gray area. However, once it’s converted to THC, it may be subject to the same regulations as other cannabis products.
Always check your local laws before purchasing or using THCA products.
1. Does THCA get you high?
No, THCA is non-psychoactive. It only becomes intoxicating when converted to THC through heating.
2. Can THCA show up on a drug test?
Most drug tests look for THC metabolites, not THCA. However, if THCA converts to THC in your system, or is not pure (contains some THC), it may trigger a positive result.
3. What’s the best way to consume THCA?
Many people prefer juicing raw cannabis or using tinctures to preserve THCA’s properties. However many people prefer using THCA vapes for convenience.
4. Is THCA the same as CBD?
No, THCA and CBD are different cannabinoids with distinct effects. CBD is known for its calming properties, while THCA has potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits.
THCA is a fascinating compound with unique properties and potential benefits. Whether you’re interested in its therapeutic potential or simply curious about cannabis science, THCA offers a new way to explore this plant’s possibilities.
