They don't make you feel the same way as the normal weed you are used to though. I have gotten them when I can't get the real stuff and it's just not the same. I wish it was.
I've been a weed fan for 30 years and I cannot tell the difference at all. In fact, from what I've read, the THC that THCa turns into as it's being smoked is identical in every way to any other THC that develops in marijuana.
My friends and I, all long time users, have done several blind tests and can't tell a difference. Make sure you are comparing the same strains when you do your blind tests, otherwise you will inadvertently be testing the differences between strains. Various strains of cannabis have very pronounced differences in flavor and effect in my experience.
We've had some delta-8 edibles that up the concentration so high it's silly. We were cutting them in half and that was getting us higher than some delta-9 stuff. Then we noticed that the bag actually recommends a whole one wtf. If those fucking things are legal, I don't know why we're arguing about the rest.
There's some new workarounds on the market that take it further. The law is that you can't have any more than 0.3% delta 9 by dry weight. Well, 10mg / 0.003 = 3.3g, so you can pack 10mg of delta9 into a gummy as long as its dry weight is about 3g, which isn't much.
Some of the THCa stuff has gotten me couch-lock high, but I agree with RagingRobot, the high doesn't feel the same. I've tried many different THCa/THCo, Delta 8, and Delta 10 products and the overarching trend with all of them was a high that typically only lasted 30 mins (compared to an hour with Delta 9) and they're almost always just an intense head high that makes me feel uncomfortably stuffy. I haven't had a single non-delta 9 product that felt anything close to the more natural high's you get from the various types/blends of Delta 9.
Thca=∆9. I avoid the rest (∆8, 10, etc.) because of the chemicals used in processing.
3 Tall Pines Farm does not use chemicals in their extraction process, if you are looking for a chemical free company.
They specialize in a heat/pressure-only extraction process and include COA's for solvents and residuals to prove their products are clean.
Have you tried THCjd? It tends to be more potent. If anything, it needs to be brought back a little on some of the gummies out there.
I just got this and at 23% thca, it definitely works for me. https://eighthorseshemp.com/products/indoor-jungle-juice
DON'T SHARE THAT LINK!!
they already have problems keeping inventory and I'm selfish lmao
I know. I hesitated before I did it but then I felt guilty.... Sharing is caring.
I agree it’s not one to one, but I’ve questioned how much if that is the drying, curing and process of getting it to me. Also they used boveda packs which didn’t help. The ones I’ve tried. But I think the post saying it’s due to an early chop sounds right. Probably not enough amber crystals which is when I would assume actual thc gets tested. It’s more complex than I made it seem I’m sure but I think as far as the loophole goes its along those lines. On a related note I’ve been trying thca concentrates and that is definitely more comparable, which makes me think it’s how they’re processing the flower that makes a difference.
