What Is THCA Flower?
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid or THCA is one phytocannabinoid out of over 100 compounds and counting that are found in the hemp plant. THCA Flower has gained popularity for its potential benefits.
When the hemp plant grows it matures and its buds begin to grow. As the buds grow, it develops its cannabinoid and terpene profiles. This process is crucial for producing high-quality THCA Hemp Flower.
CBGA is known as the "mother" of all cannabinoids and it is the first compound to develop. The CBGA along with an enzyme known as THCA-synthase is what helps produce the THCA compound. Of course CBGA also breaks down into CBG and creates CBDA, as well. THCA, CBGA and CBDA are the acidic forms of the well-known THC, CBD and CBG compounds.
As the plant ages, through natural heat and exposure to oxygen, carboxyl groups are slowly removed transferring these compounds into CBD, THC and CBG. The amounts of the cannabinoids may still be quite low in some cases. The process of decarboxylation will then be necessary to completely activate the compounds. This will ensure proper attachment to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and body, and will elicit chill effects THC is known to offer. Many users prefer THCA Flower for its unique properties.
Is THCA Hemp Flower Legal?
Production of American grown hemp THCA Flower is legal under the 2018 Hemp Farm Bill. It is not a federally banned substance as the Agricultural Improvement Act (Farm Bill) legally authorized the removal of hemp plants and seeds from the Drug Enforcement Administration schedule of controlled substances. This legality has led to an increase in THCA Flower availability.
Will THCA Get Me High?
THCA does not deliver any type of euphoric effects when ingested raw. The THCA compound includes a carboxyl ring and it is this ring that prevents the THCA from binding to CB1 receptors in the brain and CB2 receptors in the body. This is one reason why THCA Hemp Flower has become popular among those seeking potential benefits without psychoactive effects.
However, when THCA is exposed to heat during vaporization, combustion while smoking or dabbing, as well as from cooking, it will convert to THC through a process known as decarboxylation. As it is converted to THC, it will then bind to CB1 receptors and induce a type of euphoria. Many users choose to buy THCA Flower online for this versatility.
What Is Considered "High Level" THCA?
Many folks new to hemp are curious what the percentages mean when it comes to high THCA Hemp Flower. Understanding the cannabinoid levels is helpful to understand what type of experience you will be looking forward to. Dr.Ganja consistently has 3rd party laboratories test their flower buds to ensure compliance to the 2018 Farm Bill and the safety of their customers.
Dr.Ganja makes all lab result paperwork available on the page of the product it represents. When looking at the lab results the THCA content will be what you are looking for. The percentage of THCA will be the full potency potential of the buds when you smoke it, dab it, vaporize or cook it. THCA requires decarboxylation, which is activation by heat, to convert its structure that will be received by CB1 or CB2 receptors.
Low to high levels of THCA flower are as follows:
Rating Category | THCA Percentages |
Low | 0-5% |
Medium | 5-10% |
High | 10-15% |
Very High | 15-20% |
Extremely High | > 20% |
What Are The Benefits Of THCA?
Many of the benefits of THCA are yet to be conclusively determined. There are more studies being conducted than ever before and THCA has shown its legitimacy as a beneficial and useful cannabinoid. The growing interest in THCA Hemp Flower reflects this trend.
Like many other cannabinoids, THCA has shown high levels of anti-inflammatory properties, as well as a potential treatment for seizure prevention and anti-nausea. These potential benefits have contributed to the rising popularity of THCA Flower.
Some recent studies have found THCA to have anti-neurodegenerative properties and may be quite useful for treatment of Parkinson's diseases and more. This has led to increased research into THCA Hemp Flower and its effects.
When considering any hemp supplement or wellness product, it is always best to consult your personal healthcare provider or consider reviewing the current regulations prior to incorporating THCA into your daily routine. This way you may have an understanding of how hemp may affect certain medications that you may be taking. As well as discuss current studies on how hemp may be able to help you with certain types of conditions. This type of extra research will introduce you to the many beneficial products that Dr.Ganja has to offer, including various THCA Flower options.

What Is The Difference Between THCA and THC?
A precursor is something that precedes another. The originator or parent, if you will. THCA is a precursor to THC. THCA is one of three major cannabinoids in acidic form that eventually transforms into THC through time, and exposure to heat and oxygen. This is how CBG, CBD and THC develop from their acidic forms. Understanding this difference is crucial when choosing THCA Flower products.
Will THCA Show Up On A Drug Test?
It is common for most drug tests to analyze chemical substances or analytes. Hemp compounds always have the potential to elicit positive results during a drug test. If you plan on being tested or are tested regularly, you should avoid THCA Hemp Flower.
How Do I Use THCA Hemp?
There is an ongoing trend to consume THCA raw for the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits. Take the opportunity to add Dr.Ganja's hemp into your morning smoothies, put it in your homemade salad dressings or on top of your salad with avocado. It is also excellent for making your own supplement capsules for quick on-the-go mornings or simplistic evening routines.
THCA hemp flower may be smoked, dabbed, vaporized as well. THCA Flower offers versatility in consumption methods.
It can also be added to your favorite homemade pasta sauce or extracted in oils for salves or lotions. But remember, for tinctures, edibles or topical use, do not exceed temperatures over 245℉ or cook for longer than 40 minutes. Anything over 300 ℉ will extinguish cannabinoid content.
How Is THCA Flower Grown?
THCA Flower is grown through a careful process. Of course, the plant is grown just like any other hemp plant. However, in order to achieve high THCA Hemp Flower, growers must prevent their plants from receiving too much exposure to high temperatures. After all, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid is a cannabinoid compound that remains in its acidic form. It is the precursor to THC, which is the compound known for its psychoactive offerings. So to mitigate decarboxylation, the process of drying and curing is a vital process for preserving THCA percentage levels in the bud. To achieve this successfully the buds need to dry at a much slower pace in a temperature controlled environment with low humidity.
Throughout this time, the buds will come into balance with moisture levels. It is also time when the other compounds of the plant such as the terpenes can fully develop the aromatic and flavor qualities of the strain. The process of curing should not be too long as the aim is to preserve tetrahydrocannabinolic acid. THCA Flower can be consumed in just about any way imaginable. And they are perfect for those who want to benefit from hemp compounds without the psychoactive effects.

- Growth Cycles - There are several cycles of growth beginning as the seeds mature and start to grow stems, branches and leaves. They require a good amount of light and water. Nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen are essential for the plant to be able to grow and produce healthy dense sticky buds. The nutrient requirement is usually determined by what stage of the growth cycle the flower is in.
- Harvesting - A plant that is ready for harvest will have nice opaque trichome development. Another sign to look for is the color of the pistils or hairs on the buds. They will have turned orange or brown. This is a sign that the plant has reached or is near peak maturity.
- Drying And Curing - Patience is definitely required in this stage of growing THCA flower. The plant material will require a temperature controlled environment.
