CannaBuddy THCa Crumble – Trainwreck (1 gram)

What is THCa?
THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid within the cannabis plant and the precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). While THCa does have psychoactive properties when smoked or vaped, it will not cause any euphoria when it is eaten raw. THCa must be heated, or decarboxylated, to be activated. The human body is not hot enough to activate these psychoactive properties. A lighter, torch, or vaporizer must be used to enjoy the full effects of THCa. Once heated, THCa converts into Delta 9 to produce intoxicating effects, like Delta 8, HHC, and THCB. Delta 9 bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system to create therapeutic and euphoric benefits. 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?
This is a cannabis concentrate that can have a potency of up to 90% THCa. Crumble is usually dry and slightly powdery. It crumbles when picked up, hence the name. This fresh and potent extract can be made with dried or fresh frozen cannabis. The color ranges from a pale to dark shade of golden yellow, though it may turn amber with age.

How is THCa Crumble Made?
The process of creating crumble starts with either dried flower or fresh-cut flash-frozen flower. The term ‘live crumble’ is used when the flash-frozen flower is used. Once the flower is procured, it goes through 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. This oil is then purged of residual solvents by applying heat and vacuum. This step solidifies the oil into shatter. Next, the shatter is melted back into oil and whipped to remove any remaining solvent while simultaneously creating 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 can differ in how they are made, their appearance, and their potency, but they all start with high-quality THCa flower.

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

How to Smoke Wax, Shatter, or Crumble?
One of the most popular ways to smoke wax, shatter, or crumble is to simply add them to a bowl of fresh flower. The layering method is the best one to employ. Put down a layer of flower, then the concentrate, then another layer of flower. A dab rig is another way to smoke concentrates. This is a water bong with a crystal bottom bowl that must be heated by a torch. After heating the bowl, a tiny amount of concentrate is placed inside using a dab tool. The concentrate instantly vaporizes and the smoke is inhaled through the water bong. Most consumers prefer to enjoy concentrates using an electric vaporizer also known as a dab pen or wax pen. This battery-operated device can be set to a desired temperature. It will stay at that temperature for a few minutes, so the smoke can be inhaled. Then, it instantly shuts down.

Does THCa Crumble Get You High?
This concentrate can have a potency of up to 90%. So, yes THCa crumble is extremely potent and will induce extreme euphoria and relaxation.
