THCA Products (THC Flower, Economy)

THCA flower is hemp flower with high concentrations of THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, which is the precursor to THC. This cannabinoid compound transforms into THC when decarboxylated, or heated, such as when smoked, baked, or vaped.

THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, turns into THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, during a process called decarboxylation. This process entails heating up THCA, whether by lighting it, vaping it, or baking it. During decarboxylation, THCA loses a carbon atom from its chain, effectively transforming this acid into the cannabinoid THC.
