THCA, or Tetrahydrocannabinol acid, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw cannabis flower. With the help of some mechanics, THCA Powder is harvested as a solventless concentrate. THCA Powder in its raw form will not produce any psychoactive effects. It needs to be decarboxylated – or heated – to convert to THC. Once that process is in motion, THCA decarboxylates into delta9-THC and may create a potent “high” effect.
Much like traditional THC, there are tons of potential benefits of THCA. It may help treat the symptoms of conditions like nausea, arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, and more.
How is THCA Powder made?
THCA Powder is made through a solventless mechanical process that removes terpenes from rosin, leaving behind only THCA. From there it’s refined further and microplaned to a powder form.
How is THCA Powder different from other solventless concentrates?
THCA Powder contains a higher concentration of cannabinoids than other similar products, so it may have more potent effects. Most terpenes are separated out of THCA Powder, so you may not experience the same flavors and aromas as you would with terpene-rich products. Because it’s an isolated cannabinoid, THCA powder is not classified by strain or as a sativa, hybrid or indica product.
How is THCA Powder consumed?
There are a few ways to experience THCA Powder. It’s important to note that in Florida, THCA Powder is considered an inhalation product (as opposed to a smokable product like flower).
THCA Powder is a full melt product that can be dabbed using a dab rig, dab pen, or dry vape pen. You’ll want to make sure to monitor your temperatures with it – we recommend starting with low temp dabs (around 315°) for THCA to convert to THC. Consuming the powder on its own this way may lead to a highly euphoric experience.
If you should happen to find yourself in a recreational use state with legally acquired THCA Powder, try combining it with flower by sprinkling it on a bowl or adding it to a pre-roll. The addition of the pure cannabinoid may enhance the effects of your favorite strains.
What are the benefits of THCA?
Much like traditional THC, there are tons of potential benefits of THCA. It may help treat the symptoms of conditions like nausea, arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, and more. This is possible through its anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic and neuroprotective properties. It also may help aid sleep and general pain relief.
