CannaBuddy THCa Diamonds – Hawaiian Haze (1 gram)

What is THCa?
THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) naturally occurs within the cannabis plant and it is the precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THCa creates a euphoric effect like Delta 8, Delta 9, and HHC, but it has to be smoked, vaped, or heated some other way to be activated. If THCa is eaten raw there will be no psychoactive effects. The human body is not hot enough to activate THCa. A lighter, torch, or vaporizer must be used. Once heated, THCa converts into Delta 9 to produce the enjoyable intoxicating effects many consumers know. Delta 9 creates these effects by bonding with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system. Delta 9 THC is also known for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.

What are THCa Diamonds?
This is the purest form of cannabis concentrate available. It can reach 99.99% – 100% pure THCa. Diamonds are clear to translucent and resemble small crystals in structure. They can be picked up by hand, but are fairly fragile, so a dab tool is recommended when smoking or vaping diamonds.

How are THCa Diamonds Made?
There are two methods most often used to craft THCa diamonds. Both are extremely lengthy and require specialized equipment and training.

• Closed-loop extraction method: This method starts with trichome and cannabinoid-rich plants being put into an extraction column. A solvent, such as butane or propane, is added and the closed loop ensures all cannabinoids and terpenes are removed from the plant material. The resulting extract is collected and most of the solvent is purged. A larger than usual portion of the solvent is left behind to make a supersaturated solution. This solution is then crystallized through heat and pressure as the solvent drains. This promotes the slow growth of THCa diamonds by giving them something to hold onto. This process can last for days and into weeks. As a final step, all remaining solvent is gradually purged using heat and vacuum pressure.
• Crystalline method: This method of crafting THCa diamonds starts with the supersaturated solution made using an extraction column. Instead of crystallizing a solution, this process induces crystallization. A controlled environment with specific heat and pressure is required. Over a few days, the crystals begin to precipitate, or form, directly out of the solution without a need to form around anything. The longer this process continues, the bigger the diamonds get. For the final step, the remaining solvent is purged using a vacuum oven.

What is the Difference Between Diamonds, Crumble, Wax, and Shatter?
THCa diamonds, crumble, wax, and shatter differ in how they are crafted, in their appearance, and potency, but they all start with high-quality THCa flower.

• Diamonds: Pure diamonds are almost nothing but THCa. Usually, they have no aromatics, but terpenes can be added. This comes after the diamonds are crafted. Clear and roughly resembling crystals, this concentrate can reach a potency of 100% THCa. Diamonds are made using a closed-loop extraction or crystalline method that uses precise pressure.
• Crumble: Intense aromatics and fresh terpene profiles make this concentrate highly desirable. It is made using a solvent-based extraction method that results in a potency that is 90% THCa. Usually golden yellow, THCa crumble is powdery and tends to crumble when picked up.
• Wax: Fresh terpene profiles have consumers coming back to this concentrate again and again. It can reach a potency of 54% – 90% THCa and is made using a solvent-based extraction method. This process yields a creamy amber-colored melted wax-like substance.
• Shatter: Translucent amber in color, shatter chips or breaks easily when picked up or handled. It is crafted using a solvent-based extract and can reach a potency of up to 90% THCa.

How to Smoke Diamonds, Wax, or Crumble?
One of the most popular ways to smoke THCa diamonds or any other concentrate is to add it to a bowl of fresh flower. Put down a small layer of flower, then add the concentrate, then put another layer of flower down. This layering method keeps the diamond from burning up too fast. Many others use a dab rig 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 diamonds are placed inside the bowl using a dab tool. The concentrate instantly vaporizes and the smoke is inhaled through the water bong. By far, the most enjoyable way to consume concentrates is with an electric vaporizer, also known as a dab pen or wax pen. This battery-operated device is set to a desired temperature and stays there for a few minutes, so the smoke can be inhaled. Then, it instantly shuts down.

Do THCa Diamonds Get You High?
THCa diamonds are 99.99% – 100% pure THCa concentrate. When heated, it is almost guaranteed to induce psychoactivity to some degree. Some say it is extremely intense while some experienced consumers enjoy the effects. Due to the intense nature of this euphoria, it is highly recommended that first-time consumers use this product with caution. Even experienced enthusiasts might want to consider taking it slow when enjoying THCa diamonds.
