Delta 9 THCa is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid in the cannabis plant. It is the acid variation of the famous cannabinoid D9 THC. Raw THCa is non-psychoactive. However, when heated, THCa converts to THC. This change is what delivers the intense and euphoric psychoactive effects of traditional cannabis.

Harvested THCa flower is federally legal if the lab test proves it is below the 0.3% D9 THC limit. Even in recreational or illegal flower, THCa is the primary cannabinoid, and the D9 THC can range somewhere between 0.4% to 1.0%. For example, a strain with 20% THCa and 0.2% D9 THC in its harvested buds is federally legal and protected under the Farm Bill.

Short answer? It depends on your state.

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived cannabinoids like THCA are federally legal, provided the final product contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. This means we can legally ship THCA flower, pre-rolls, and concentrates to most states.

Some states have imposed their own restrictions or bans due to concerns about THCA converting to delta-9 THC when heated. States like Rhode Island, South Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina, and New Hampshire have regulations that may impact the legality of THCA products.

All of our THCA products are third-party lab tested for purity, potency, and compliance.
