High-THCa Flower Pre-Roll – Watermelon Kush

What is THCa?
THCa, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is one of the 120+ cannabinoids that have been identified within the cannabis plant. While THCa is psychoactive it differs from Delta 8 and Delta 9 because it does not produce any euphoric effects when ingested. THCa must be heated to be activated. This process is commonly called decarboxylation and can be accomplished using a lighter, torch, or vaporizer. The average temperature of the human body is not hot enough to decarboxylate THCa. Once heated, THCa converts into Delta 9 THC to produce intoxicating effects. Delta 9 creates these effects by bonding with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system similar to other cannabinoids like Delta 8, Delta 10, Delta 6a10a, and HHC. 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?
THCa flower is cannabis that is grown specifically for its unique mood states and terpene profiles. These flowers can be sativa, indica, and hybrid strains and grown indoors and outdoors. Each one’s unique terpene profile produces different psychoactive mood states for each person. Some enthusiasts enjoy a higher myrcene concentration because of the uplifting giggly talkative state it creates while others find humlene to be an enjoyable creative state. Some popular THCa strains include Amnesia Haze, Hippie Crippler, Watermelon Kush, and Han Solo.

Remember, THCa flower must be decarboxylated to produce any psychoactivity. Do not expect any euphoria if it is eaten or ingested. The average temperature of the human body will not decarboxylate THCa.

What is a THCa Flower Pre-roll?
A THCa flower pre-roll is a smokeable joint that can be enjoyed right out of the jar, tube, or packaging. They only need to be lit with a lighter or torch. Usually, pre-rolls are filled with one gram of freshly ground flower of a single strain. Each one is expertly filled to create a slow even burn. Most pre-rolls are cone-shaped with a cardboard filter for easy handling. Some THCa flower pre-rolls have had their effects boosted by adding THCa diamonds.

THCa Flower vs THC Flower?
THCa flower turns into THC flower as soon as heat is applied. THCa is one of the first cannabinoids to appear during the flowering process. As the plant matures, THCa is naturally 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). The effects of Delta 9 are what 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 so that it can be enjoyed.
