CannaBuddy THCa Crumble – Blue Dream (1 gram)

What is THCa?
THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is one of over a hundred naturally occurring cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant. THCa differs from other cannabinoids, such as Delta 8 and Delta 9, because it does not produce any psychoactive effects when ingested. THCa must be heated, or decarboxylated, to be activated. The human body is not hot enough to activate these psychoactive properties. This can be accomplished by using a lighter, torch, or vaporizer. Once heated, THCa converts into Delta 9 and produces intoxicating effects. Delta 9 bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system similarly to other cannabinoids like Delta 10, Delta 6a10a, and HHC, to produce euphoric effects. Delta 9 THC is also known for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.

What is Crumble?
Crumble is a cannabis concentrate that can have a potency of up to 90% THCa. It is generally a dry concentrate that is slightly powdery and crumbles when picked up. This deliciously potent extract can be made with dried or fresh frozen cannabis. It is usually a pale to dark shade of golden yellow, though it may turn amber with age.

How is THCa Crumble Made?
Crumble starts with either dried flower or fresh cut flash-frozen flower. If the latter is used, the concentrate is referred to as ‘live crumble.’ The process of crafting crumble starts with an extraction where the cannabinoids and terpenes are separated from the plant material. The flower is submerged in a solvent, such as ethanol, butane, or CO2, and heated until a crude extract is produced. Then, the crude extract must be purged of residual solvents by applying heat and vacuum, solidifying it into shatter. Next, the shatter is melted back into an oil where it is whipped to remove any remaining solvent and create air pockets. Finally, the whipped oil is dried and cured in a vacuum oven for an extended period using low heat.

What is the Difference Between Crumble, Wax, Shatter, and Diamonds?
Crumble, wax, shatter, and diamonds are all cannabis concentrates that start with THCa flower. They can differ in how they are crafted, their appearance, and the potency of the final product.

• Crumble: This is made using a solvent extraction method that results in THCa potency up to 90%. It is a powdery concentrate that is golden yellow and crumbles when picked up. Crumble is highly desired for its fresh aromatics and terpene profiles.
• Wax: This concentrate can reach a THCa potency of 54% – 90%. It is made using a solvent-based extraction method and yields a creamy amber-colored melted wax-like substance. Wax is enjoyed for its strong aroma profile and fresh terpene flavors.
• Shatter: Translucent amber in color, this concentrate can reach a potency of 90% THCa. It will chip or break very easily when picked up or handled. Shatter is crafted using a solvent-based extract and is enjoyed for its fresh flavor profiles.
• Diamonds: Clear and vaguely resembling rough diamonds, this concentrate looks like a crystal and can reach a potency of 100% THCa. There are no fragrances or terpenes unless they are added after the diamonds are crafted. This concentrate is made using a closed-loop extraction or crystalline method that uses precise pressure.

How to Smoke Wax, Shatter, or Crumble?
Concentrates can be smoked in a couple of different ways. One of the most popular methods is to simply add the wax, shatter, or crumble to a bowl of fresh flower. The layering method is the best way to go about this. Put down a layer of flower, then the concentrate, then another layer of flower. Another way to smoke concentrates is a dab rig. This is a water bong with a crystal bottom bowl that is heated by a torch. After it is heated, a tiny amount of concentrate is placed into the bowl using a dab tool. The concentrate instantly vaporizes and the smoke is inhaled through the water bong. The preferred method to enjoy concentrates is an electric vaporizer also known as a dab pen or wax pen. This battery-operated device can be set to a desired temperature and stays at that temperature for a few minutes, so the smoke can be inhaled, before instantly shutting down.

Does THCa Crumble Get You High?
THCa crumble is extremely potent and when heated and inhaled will induce a strong euphoria and relaxation. Due to the intense nature of this psychoactivity, it is highly recommended that first-time consumers use this product with caution. Even experienced enthusiasts should take it slow when enjoying THCa crumble.
