Most cannabis strains contain a compound called THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid). Usually, strains with a content of 15% or greater are regarded as having a high potency. THCA is the precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound responsible for the euphoric effects commonly associated with cannabis use.

The cultivation of high THCa flower involves a complex process of maximizing THCa levels while minimizing THC conversion. This process starts with the selection of strains and specific genetics that are known for having high THCa concentrations. When the plant reaches its cannabinoid peak, it is harvested right away to capture these cannabinoids. Following this, the drying and curing procedure ensues, acting to safeguard the integrity of THCa for optimal potency.

Buying THCA flowers online in the United States is generally legal as long as the product contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dried weight. This threshold ensures that the product is classified as hemp and not marijuana, making it legal at the federal level, which by definition would include North Carolina. Most states also follow this guideline set by the federal government, allowing for the sale and purchase of THCA products online. However, individuals must be of legal age (21 years or older) to buy these products, and it is always important to check with your local laws before making a purchase.
