Legally speaking, THCA is not delta 9 THC. It’s completely possible for your bud to contain high amounts of THCA and still be legal to sell as hemp, whether or not the cannabinoid will convert to THC later. Even marijuana from dispensaries contains primarily THCA at the time of sale, n...
The three Deltas in question have similar origins, meaning they evolve from the "mother" of all cannabinoids, GBGA (cannabigerolic acid). As crops mature, naturally occurring plant enzymes convert CBGA to CBCA (cannabichromenic acid), CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), and THCA (tetrahydrocannabinol...
That's because its acidic precursor, CBGA (cannabigerolic acid), is the first cannabinoid produced in cannabis and hemp plant. THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), and CBCA (cannabichromenic acid) are all synthesised from CBGA, and later turn into THC, CBD, and ...
Consumable hemp products are required by law to contain no more than 0.3% THC — the intoxicating part of the cannabis plant that comes in forms known as delta-8, delta-9 and THCA — but Patrick asserts that some items sold in Texas far exceed this limit. Seems to me it should be ...

Unlike naturally occurring cannabinoids like CBD, THCA, CBGA, and more, THC-O is created in a lab using complex chemistry. It is made by a series of extractions and the additive that makes it synthetic: acetic anhydride. First, CBD is extracted from the hemp plant. Next, Delta-8 is ext...
However, there’s a key distinction: while hemp products are allowed to contain up to 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, anything above that threshold is considered illegal under federal law. This means that Delta-9 gummies made from hemp can legally contain a specific, minimal amount of ...
THCA is the precursor to THC, and while both compounds share a similar molecular structure, THCA remains in its acidic form until exposed to heat, which transforms it into the more well-known THC. THCA hemp flower delivers various potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and neuropro...
