Wait, What Is THCA Flower?

Before we get into the sensory details let’s define what THCA flower is. THCA or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw cannabis flower.

When you heat it through smoking or other methods a process called decarboxylation converts THCA into THC the compound that gets you high. This allows for a versatile experience whether you’re savoring the raw terpene profile or opting for a heated approach.
