What is high THCa 

   
                 THCa is found in raw cannabis.
 

• When heated (through smoking, vaping, or cooking), THCa decarboxylates (changes chemically) into THC, the compound responsible for the classic cannabis “high.”
   
• In its raw form, THCa does not produce intoxication.
   
• High THCa flower:
   
  • Refers to buds bred and cultivated to have very high levels of THCa (often 20–30% or more).
     
  • It looks, smells, and tastes like traditional cannabis because it essentially is cannabis, but it is sold as “hemp” if it contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC (by dry weight), which makes it federally legal in the U.S. under the 2018 Farm Bill.
     
• Why people buy it:
   
  • Legal access: In states without recreational cannabis laws, high-THCa hemp flower provides a legal alternative.
     
  • Wellness uses: Some consume raw THCa (juicing or capsules) for potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-nausea properties without the high.
    

How is a dispensary legal in Texas? In 2018 Congress passed H.R. 5485, making hemp legal for both farming and personal use. As a close cousin of marijuana, hemp contains many identical cannabinoids which are now 100% legal for both possession and consumption, medically or recreationally.
