Shop THCa

The ideal THCa dosage varies depending on factors such as tolerance, body chemistry, and the desired effects. Start low and go slow is the mantra often suggested. Gradually increase your intake as needed, and monitor how your body responds before settling on your ideal amount.

The time it takes to feel the effects of THCa can be different depending on how you take it. Most people inhale THCa hemp products. When they do, they feel euphoric effects almost immediately within 30-90 seconds of inhalation. These effects last about 3 to 4 hours. However, if you mix raw THCa into cold foods like oils and juices or put it on top of salads and other cold dishes as a garnish, you will feel its effects after about 45 minutes to an hour. But these won’t make you feel euphoric since there is no heat to transform THCa into THC. The wellness benefits of raw THCa flower will last about 6-8 hours. But when you add THCa to foods you bake or warm up, you’ll feel elevated in about the same amount of time, 45-60 minutes. Expect these elated feelings to also last around 6-8 hours.

Yes, THCa is generally considered safe to consume in raw and heated forms. The key to safe consumption is to stay within your limits and not overdo it. However, as with all additions to your wellness routine, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider before taking it. This is particularly important if you have underlying health conditions or are on other medications.

THCa may cause some mild, temporary side effects if taken irresponsibly. If you take too much THCa, you might feel very tired and sleepy or have a dry mouth and want to drink more water. If this happens, stop taking THCa and take it easy. Get comfy, drink some water, and rest. You should start feeling better in a few hours.

Is THCa a Synthetic Cannabinoid?

Products containing THCa are legal under federal law as long as they are derived from the hemp plant and contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC (on a dry weight basis). The legality of THCa products hinges on their source and the overall legal landscape governing cannabis and hemp in your location. Always check your local regulations before making a purchase.

Since THCa in its raw form is non-euphoric and doesn’t convert to THC unless decarboxylated (heated), it is unlikely to show up on a drug test designed to detect THC. However, there is no absolute guarantee since testing sensitivities and methodologies vary. If you consume THCa flower or vapes, you will have THC in your system. Which means you will most likely test positive on a drug test.
