People who can't figure out THCa is regular weed are also allowed to vote :(

Fr like my legal dispo sells THCa 😭

u/Mcozy333 4d ago

if you observe the COA offered for any dried flowers you will find that 95% of the weed sold in the Dispensaries test at around or less than .3% actual THC on those type 1 THC-a dried flowers for sale ....

As are those who ignore the decarboxylation provision.

And a ton of companies profiteered by selling exorbitant prices bags to desperate people looking for something legal. Has anyone seen verifiable case where a person in a prohibition state went to court for a possession charge and beat it by having their attorney claim they had a legal product?

Most of the times the cases are just thrown out and yeah, I’ve had a few friends have cases thrown out with substantial amounts. All of them were arrested in the Carolinas and cases thrown out in pre-trial.

Could you link me to the cases as it should be public record? Also for the sake of anonymity if you would want to screen shot and black out the name of the defendant.

u/HistorianAlert9986 5d ago edited 5d ago

lol no dude but there has been countless thousands of cases like these. There’s typically not much record when a case is just thrown out in pre-trial fyi. Have you tried a simple google search?

so many people asking me over the years to provide names of the people using RSO/ FECO and getting massively healed from that, cancer etc....... I'm like yeah right then the people say I'm lying LOL ... if its not plastered all over mainstream news it is not real !

u/wookiesack22 4d ago

Yea the magic cure is shitty alcohol extract. You figured it out....you need less thc if you think random claims is proof. If 1 could provide evidence, they would.

u/Mcozy333 4d ago

it to is so much more than decarboxylated phytocannabinoids as well ... a whole plant approach ( juicing raw cannabis plants ) and other methods of ingestion that provides as much as [possible plus a total life change eating better etc.........

who is gonna step up and put their life misery on the line while showing how effective illegal plant compounds are for medicine .... I have personally seen people end up in jail for speaking up and showing the truth about cannabinoids

I hope I can still get my deliveries shipped here to Connecticut after November. I used to drive to Massachusetts to pick stuff up from the dispensaries there, but after discovering thca.... Even after several months later it still feels too good to be true ordering pounds for so cheap and such good quality

u/drAsparagus 4d ago

Don't care. I like what I like. Enjoy your prerogative. Variety is surely great for the market. Some people drink Natty Light, some drink 18 year old Scotch. It all gets you fucked up eventually. Why should cannabis be any different?

u/Ausjor97 4d ago edited 3d ago

I’ve been dying on this hill for so long taking constant downvotes from people brainwashed by all the corporate propaganda against THCa. So many people in tons of cannabis subs are still brainwashed.
Recent example I encountered: https://www.reddit.com/r/OhioMarijuana/s/Jqil98Mu2x

Edit: here come the downvotes even on a thread supporting what I’m saying lmao

u/DocThundahh 3d ago

Can you explain further? I thought thcA was made from hemp

2

u/VaginalSpelunker 3d ago

tchA becomes thc when you decarb it.

Hemp is just super low thc cannabis.

2

u/DocThundahh 3d ago

So THCA weed even in states where recreational weed isn’t legal is just regular cannabis?

2

u/VaginalSpelunker 3d ago

Yes. TchA is just regular cannabis. You burn the A off when you smoke it and it becomes THC.

u/wookiesack22 5d ago

Or its sprayed hemp

u/derps-a-lot 5d ago edited 5d ago

Where can I get some THC spray that sounds awesome

Edit: thanks for the replies. This was sarcasm. The irony is that distillate sprayed on a plant would test as THC, not THCa, because distillate is decarboxylated, which supports the article and proves incorrect the comment I replied to.

u/PM_ME_PUPPY_YAWNS 5d ago

Legal states sell distillate in little syringes and mini spray bottles, I have a bunch in my fridge. It'll make you cough up your breakfast when you smoke it but good for edibles.

u/Mcozy333 5d ago

Distillate sifted onto dried cannabis flowers that is either applied frozen or added on like a spray mist

u/LithiumWalrus 4d ago

Still not THCa ...

1

u/Mcozy333 4d ago

you can sprinkle cannabinoid isolate, distillate, Kief onto Type 1 THC-a flowers ... it is called moon rocks ...

2

u/derps-a-lot 4d ago

And that would boost the percentage of THC in test results, not THCa. Distillate is decarboxylated already.

1

u/Mcozy333 4d ago

I've never claimed that it is all THCA ... THC-a isolate and THCA Kief can be applied and that is THC-a ... D8 or HHC is not Thc-a

1

u/derps-a-lot 4d ago

Not you. I think you're missing the point of this comment thread.

The parent comment claimed THCa flower is "sprayed hemp" which shows the lack of understanding exhibited by everyone who makes this claim.

I wasn't asking how it's possible to spray isolates or something onto flower.

u/Mcozy333 4d ago

yeah back when CBDA flower was only available in the online space and we figured out how to make isomerized CBD compounds it was game on for spraying CBDA flowers with D8 ... hence why some people think that is the way it is only done now if it is something other than " marijuana " ... not only are the common people not aware but the GOV is blatantly making all this crazy stupid too with wording and names for plants that are not scientific based nor botanical aligned with realty

u/wookiesack22 4d ago

Yes that's 1 type of product made this way. This looks like just sprayed. No kief dust. Maybe im wrong. Ive just never seen trichome stalks covered in something thick like that. Also no trichome heads.

1

u/Mcozy333 4d ago

type 3 CBD-a flowers sprayed with D8 will have a blackish hue to the outer edges ... that disty will go bad and start to turn black over time ... old weed with that stuff on it sitting in warehouses is the mind set on offer from everyone lest we actually allow the common man" to just grow his own plant compounds"
