High-THCa Flower Pre-Roll – Amnesia Haze

What is THCa?
THCa, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is one of the 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. The human body is not hot enough to activate the psychoactive properties of THCa. They must be activated through a heating process often called decarboxylation. This can be accomplished by using a lighter, torch, or vaporizer. Once heated, THCa converts into Delta 9 THC to produce intoxicating effects. Delta 9 bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system similarly to other cannabinoids like Delta 8, 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 THCa flower?
Growers cultivate THCa flower for its unique mood states and terpenes. Sativa, indica, and hybrid strains are all grown indoors and outdoors. Each THCa flower strain has a unique terpene profile that produces individualized psychoactive mood states for each consumer after smoking or vaping. Some enthusiasts enjoy the higher humulene concentration because it creates an uplifting giggly mood state. Others find myrcene to be an enjoyable talkative mood state. Some popular THCa strains include Amnesia Haze, Hippie Crippler, Han Solo, and Oreoz.

To produce any psychoactive effects, THCa flower must be decarboxylated. Do not expect any euphoric effects if THCa flower is eaten or ingested raw. The average temperature of the human body will not transform THCa into Delta 9.

What is a THCa Flower Pre-roll?
A THCa flower pre-roll is a smokeable joint ready right out of the jar, tube, or packaging. They just need to be lit with a lighter or torch. Most pre-rolls are filled with one gram of freshly ground flower of a single strain, though bigger ones are available. THCa pre-rolls have been expertly filled for a slow even burn. Most are cone-shaped with a cardboard filter for easy handling. Some THCa flower pre-rolls have had THCa diamonds added to them to boost the euphoric and therapeutic effects.

THCa Flower vs THC Flower?
Heat is the difference between THCa flower and THC flower. As the cannabis flower grows, THCa is one of the first cannabinoids to appear. As the plant matures, the THCa is heated by the sun or other environmental factors. This natural decarboxylation process releases the acid from tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) leaving behind Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This is the intoxicating cannabinoid many people associate with cannabis. This same process occurs when THCa flower is heated with a lighter, torch, vape, or other heat source. It is instantly converted into Delta 9 THC and begins to interact with the endocannabinoid system in the body.
