isn’t as potent as the real deal. It does help though. When I’m running low I will sprinkle Kief from the grinder on top just to give it a kick. Just to knock the edge off. I think it’s just a way for these non legal states to test the waters on even considering THC . After that marijuana law was introduced last week my state can’t find even find a bank that will support cannabis
All strains are THC-a strains pre-cure. These are the exact same strains available in dispensaries, just sold raw dried, uncured.
There is no difference between the products beyond when its sold. If you take the on the shelf "thc-a" flower (not the hemp bud sprayed with thc-a distillate.... big difference) and leave it in an airtight container for a month or so, it cures up great. Been doing this for about a year now.
THC-a is the cannabinoid the drug-strain cannabis genotypes produce. Oxidation turns it into delta-9 over time.
If you put this stuff in a dry herb vape, you wont be able to tell the difference, can confirm. The only reason i dont buy it, is i can get similar quality flower, that i dont have to cure for full effects, for cheaper on the street.
THC-a was just a way to grey area the legality of drug strains of cannabis in outlaw states. 100%. If the flower is 29% thc-a, and you cure it, it will hit just like any other roughly 30% thc quality cannabis flower will.
The thc-a dabs are fantastic across the board, identical in every way to all the dispensary product ive tried, its just pricey so i dont buy it, (so long as its real extract, not some over-terped prepared distillate nonsense.) THC-a has no torouble making the delta-9 conversion from heat with concentrates being vaped. 99% of the dabs in the dispensaries are also rushed, uncured products because of this.
If you like live resin, thats 100% THC-a lol, just saying.
I also keep running into people that should know better, that have tried a single strain of "thc-a" gas station bud, rather then one of the reputable brands, and proceed to judge an entire virgin market based on one crappy flower. Thats just dumb and doesn't make any sense, in any context involving cannabis. Regulation on the products in terms of quality and consistency is already on the horizon though.
The cannabis cup winning breeder of the Flow genepool just opened up cannabis facilities producing and selling in TN and NC called Flow Gardens.
Their flagship strain is the same cup winning Flow thats in all the Denver dispensaries. same clone.
Some crappy companies are indeed just putting THC-a distillate on hemp flower though. What is pictured on the thread, nah, thats prob just dispensary quality, uncured cannnabis flower.
And yes, in Tennessee and North Carolina, it is now even easier to buy quality cannabis flower then any recreational state. The tax rates on it are not as inflated as a recreational state. And competition is quickly driving down the prices. You can buy it off the shelf anywhere that want's to sell it, even a liquor store. That's just how the cookie be crumblin. Somehow.
You can buy high quality cannabis flower in a headshop, and if you transfer to a baggie, go to jail for it. And it will test much higher then 0.3% most likely. Yes.
It's totally absurd, but it's very true.
