What is THC-A

What Is THCa Hemp Flower?

It’s cannabis with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC but loaded with THCa—a compound that’s calm and non-intoxicating until you heat it up. Add fire, and it transforms into delta-9 THC, the compound that delivers the “high.”

• Will It Get You High?
  Probably. Smoke or vape it, and the THCa decarboxylates (science word for “activates”), turning into THC. Let your customers know—it’s not for the faint of heart, and definitely not for minors.

  
  

• Will You Fail a Drug Test?
  Yep. THCa turns into THC, and THC will show up on a drug test. If you’re testing soon, steer clear.

  
  

• Is It Legal?
  Under federal law, yes! The 2018 Farm Bill made hemp legal as long as delta-9 THC stays under 0.3%. But state laws vary—some have extra rules for THCa, so make sure you’re following your local laws.
  
  

• What Does the DEA Say?
  If delta-9 THC is below 0.3%, it’s hemp, not marijuana. Even the DEA agrees.
  
  

• Are States on Board?
  It depends. Some states measure “total THC” (THCa + delta-9 THC), which can make a federally legal flower illegal locally. If you’re unsure, ask a lawyer before you buy, sell, or possess it.
  
  

• Can You Ship It Across States?
  Yes! Federal law allows hemp and hemp products, including THCa flower, to be shipped across state lines, even if some states aren’t thrilled about it.
  
  

• Can You Smoke It in Public or Open It in Your Car?
  Not recommended. State laws differ, and some folks can’t tell hemp from weed. Keep it sealed, labeled, and legal.
  
  

• How Do You Know It’s Legal?
  Always check for a Certificate of Analysis (COA). A COA verifies the cannabinoid levels, ensuring compliance with federal laws. GLAZE provides a COA with every batch because guessing isn’t a plan.
  
  

• How Should You Store It?
  Store it cool, dark, and dry. Heat and light can turn THCa into delta-9 THC, which might make your stash illegal. Treat it with care to keep it compliant.
  
  

• Does GLAZE Have Legal Backup?
  Absolutely. GLAZE has a legal opinion letter confirming the status of THCa hemp flower. We’ve got your back—and your peace of mind.
