What Are THCA Concentrates?

THCA concentrates are cannabis products that have undergone extraction processes to isolate and concentrate tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) from the cannabis plant. THCA is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), and it becomes psychoactive when heated through a process called decarboxylation. It’s just like THCA concentrates you’d find at the dispensary, but sold under a hemp license.

This raw form of cannabis technically has 0.3% delta-9 THC by dried weight, and under the US Farm Bill, you can legally buy THCA dabs for sale online and have it conveniently shipped to your home.

THCA: The Precursor Cannabinoid To THC

THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a cannabinoid found in raw and live cannabis plants. It is the precursor to THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the psychoactive compound responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis consumption. THCA itself does not have psychoactive effects.

In live cannabis plants, THC is not present in significant amounts; instead, the plant produces THCA. When cannabis is heated through processes such as smoking, vaporization, or cooking (decarboxylation), THCA loses a carboxyl group and is converted into THC. This conversion process, known as decarboxylation, activates the psychoactive properties of the compound.

It’s worth noting that THCA has been the subject of interest for potential therapeutic applications, and some people consume raw cannabis or cannabis juice to obtain the potential health benefits of THCA without experiencing the psychoactive effects of THC. However, research in this area is still ongoing, and the therapeutic effects of THCA are not as well-established as those of THC or other cannabinoids.

Types Of THCA Concentrates

1. Diamonds and Sauce:
   • This is a type of concentrate that separates THC crystals (diamonds) from a sauce-like mixture of terpenes and other cannabinoids. The diamonds are typically composed of THCA and can be very potent.
2. THCA Isolate:
   • Isolates involve the extraction and purification of THCA into a crystalline form. This is a highly concentrated and pure form of THCA.
3. Rosin:
   • Rosin is produced using a heat and pressure extraction method, often without the use of solvents. While rosin can contain THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, it may also contain THCA if it hasn’t been decarboxylated during the extraction process.
4. Live Resin:
   • Live resin is a concentrate made from fresh, flash-frozen cannabis plant material. It is known for preserving a high terpene content, but depending on the extraction method, it can also contain THCA.
5. Badder, Budder, or Wax:
   • These are different consistencies of concentrates that can be produced through various extraction methods. They can contain various cannabinoids, including THCA.

Important Notes:

• THCA concentrates, like other cannabis concentrates, can be very potent, and users should be mindful of dosage.

Sativa, Hybrid & Indica

The terms “hybrid,” “indica,” and “sativa” are used to categorize different varieties or strains of the cannabis hemp plant based on their characteristics, including plant morphology, effects, and potential uses. It’s important to note that these distinctions are somewhat broad, and individual strains can exhibit a wide range of effects. Additionally, advancements in cannabis breeding have led to many hybrid strains that combine characteristics of both indica and sativa varieties.

1. Indica:
   • Appearance: Indica plants are generally shorter and bushier with broader leaves compared to sativa plants.
   • Effects: Indica strains are often associated with relaxing and sedative effects. They may be used for relaxation, stress relief, and sleep promotion.
   • Terpene Profile: Indica strains often have higher levels of myrcene, a terpene believed to contribute to sedative effects.
2. Sativa:
   • Appearance: Sativa plants are typically taller and have narrower leaves compared to indica plants.
   • Effects: Sativa strains are often associated with uplifting and energizing effects. They may be used for enhancing creativity, focus, and daytime activities.
   • Terpene Profile: Sativa strains may have higher levels of terpenes like limonene or pinene, which are associated with uplifting and energetic effects.
3. Hybrid:
   • Appearance: Hybrid plants can display a combination of characteristics from both indica and sativa plants.
   • Effects: Hybrid strains are bred to combine the effects of indica and sativa strains. The specific effects can vary widely depending on the specific genetics of the hybrid.
   • Terpene Profile: Hybrid strains can have a diverse terpene profile, combining terpenes from both indica and sativa parent strains.

It’s important to recognize that the effects of a particular strain are influenced by various factors, including the plant’s cannabinoid and terpene profile, individual tolerance, and the method of consumption.
