THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a natural compound found in raw cannabis plants. In its raw state, THCa is non-psychoactive, but when heated or smoked, it converts into THC, the compound responsible for psychoactive effects. THCa hemp flower refers to hemp buds or plant material that contain 0.3% or less delta-9 THC by dry weight.

Yes! Under federal regulations, THCa hemp flower is considered legal. The 2018 Farm Bill declassified hemp and its derivatives from the Controlled Substances Act, provided they contain no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Furthermore, THCa itself is not specifically categorized as a controlled substance under U.S. law.

The 2018 Farm Bill, officially known as the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, is a U.S. federal law that reauthorized and updated various agricultural and food programs. One of its most significant changes was the legalization of hemp and its derivatives, as long as they contain no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. This removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, distinguishing it from marijuana and allowing for its cultivation, production, and sale under federal law. The bill also introduced regulations for hemp farming, research, and interstate commerce.
