Real Cannabis is actually THCA?...YES!!!

THCA is Real Cannabis!

In the world of real cannabis, THC reigns supreme as the well-known psychoactive compound responsible getting you high.

However, its precursor, THCA does the exact same thing once you heat it to smoke or cook it for edibles....and it's completely legal! Mind blown, right? We know because we source top shelf THCA for a living and send it legally to happy tokers all over the country!

So here's the rundown:

Firstly, let's understand the basics. In raw form, cannabis doesn't contain THC but rather THCA. When cannabis is harvested and dried, THCA is abundant. It's only through a process called decarboxylation—typically achieved through heating—that THCA converts into THC, the compound that binds to cannabinoid receptors in our brains, getting us as high as "real" weed.

When cannabis is smoked or vaped, heat is applied, triggering decarboxylation and converting THCA into THC.

However, if you were to consume cannabis raw or in a preparation where it hasn't been exposed to heat, such as in a smoothie or salad, the THCA remains intact, and you won't experience a high.

How about some fun weed science!? One study published in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research found that heated THCA was capable of binding to CB1 receptors—the same receptors that THC targets—in the brains of mice...now I wish they would have just let those high mice go after the experiment and gave them some ice cream for the study, but that's for another discussion, I guess.

So, what does this mean for cannabis consumers? Well, it opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for enjoying the plant and not getting arrested!

While THC remains the often illegal and highly taxed star of the cannabis world, THCA shouldn't be dismissed as just a precursor. It can get you everything you need, without the trouble and you can re-sell it legally too.

All orders include legal paperwork known as a "Notice to Law Enforcement" for our buyers to keep on hand and lab reports that you can easily share with local law enforcement if they have any questions. Imagine buying real weed and getting a receipt showing that you did it "legally". It's like you're untouchable!!

Take a look at our THCA stock and if you ever need bulk supply to hook up your crew, make some money and stay outta the slammer, we've got you covered!
