Type 1 & Type 2 High THCA Hemp Flower

THCA Flower, Type 1 and Type 2 – What to know

Hemp flowers had a strong start a few years ago, when Delta 8 THC was fresh on the scene. Now there are some bigger dogs in town and they may or may not be here to stay. Hemp flower contains high levels of cannabidiol (CBD), a compound known for its several properties and the presence of other more rare cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA). In this article, we’ll delve into the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 THCA flowers and explore the legality of THCA hemp flowers.

High THCA Flower

What is THCA Flower?

THCA flower is hemp flower that contains high levels of THCA. THCA is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the raw cannabis plant that can be converted to Delta 9 THC through decarboxylation.

What are Type 1 Flowers ?

Type 1 hemp flowers, also known as drug-type hemp flowers, are high in THC and low in CBD. These flowers are typically used for recreational purposes due to their psychoactive effects.

What is a Type 2 Flower?

Type 2 hemp flowers, also known as fiber-type hemp flowers, are high in CBD and low in THC. These flowers are often used for more therapeutic purposes due to their high levels of CBD

Type 1 Hemp Flower Explained

Type 1 hemp flowers, also known as drug-type hemp flowers, are high in THC and low in CBD. These flowers are commonly referred to as Cannabis and are typically used for recreational purposes due to their psychoactive effects. In terms of THC content, Type 1 flowers can contain up to 30% THC.

Type 1 flowers in the hemp industry are hemp-derived, so long as the source is authentic. There have been reports of illegal black market Cannabis strains being sold as high THCA strains, and while that may sound enticing to some people, it is important to understand that with the rise of our industry and the continued push for legalization, that these black market players need either get licensed and legit, or get out. There are a lot of reasons why black market cannabis is dangerous. Be selective in your search for Type 1 flower.

In contrast, Type 1 hemp flowers have very low levels of CBD, often less than 1%. The low levels of CBD make Type 1 hemp flowers more successful in achieving euphoric effects, as CBD is known for its euphoria-inhibiting properties.

 

Type 2 Hemp Flower Explained

Type 2 THCA flowers, also known as fiber-type hemp flowers, are high in CBD and low in THC. These flowers are often used for more therapeutic than recreational purposes due to their high levels of CBD and low levels of THC, which means they do not produce the psychoactive effects associated with Cannabis.

While Type 2 THCA hemp flowers have low levels of THC, they can contain high levels of THCA. THCA is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the raw cannabis plant that can be converted to THC through decarboxylation. THCA prior to being decarboxylated is technically nonpsychoactive, and has a lot of interesting and useful properties.

The legality of THCA Hemp Flower

While hemp-derived products, including hemp flower, were legalized in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill, the legality of THCA hemp flower is still somewhat unclear. This is because the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived products, defined as those containing less than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis.

For 2023, it is unclear about the future of THCA hemp flower, but we are seeing more mathematical implementations of the Delta 9 formula: Delta 9 THC Content (DC) + THCA Content (TC) Multiplied by 0.877 –> (DC+TC)*0.877. The good news is, that we may see an increase from 0.3% to 1% total Delta 9 THC by weight, which will be very nice for everyone (if they do it).

THCA is not considered a controlled substance under federal law, as it is not psychoactive in its raw form. However, once THCA is converted to THC through decarboxylation, it becomes a controlled substance. This means that THCA hemp flower may be legal under federal law, but the legal status may vary by state.

If you are in a state like Idaho (which has very strict laws against hemp and cannabis overall), THCA flower and other products are not likely available to you.

Where to Buy THCA Flower
