What is THCa?
The cannabinoid THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is just one of over a hundred different naturally occurring cannabinoids within the cannabis plant. Multiple studies show that when THCa is heated it decarboxylates into the euphoric Delta 9 THC. THCa differs from other cannabinoids, such as Delta 8 and Delta 10, because it must be heated to create psychoactive effects. No euphoria will be produced when THCa is consumed raw. The temperature of the human body is not hot enough to decarboxylate THCa. Higher temperatures must be used. This is accomplished using a lighter, torch, or vaporizer. After converting the THCa into Delta 9, it bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system to produce psychoactive effects. Delta 9 THC is also known for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.
What is THCa flower?
THCa flower are unique strains cultivated for specific, unique mood states and terpene profiles. They can be Sativa, Indica, and hybrid strains, and grown indoors or outdoors. Each THCa flower strain produces different euphoric mood states for each enthusiast. This is based on the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profiles. Some consumers enjoy a flower with a higher Linalool concentration because it creates a relaxing mood state. Others find Alpha-pinene to be an uplifting and creative mood state. Some popular THCa strains include the Blue Dream strain, Sex Panther strain, Han Solo strain, and Granddaddy Purple strain.
THCa vs THC Flower?
THC flower is often used by recreational dispensaries to refer to marijuana. This flower is normally tested using a gas chromatography test. This requires the flower to be heated when determining the percentage of Delta 9 THC. THCa flower is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant that is tested using liquid chromatography which does not require heat. The potency of these flowers are determined by the highest percentage of the cannabinoid of THCa instead of Delta 9 THC.
As the cannabis flower grows, CBG is one of the first cannabinoids to appear. It quickly converts into six other cannabinoids, including THCa. When the plant matures, the THCa is heated by the sun or environmental factors and small amounts decarboxylate into Delta 9 THC. Usually, this accounts for 0.3%-0.5%. This only happens in small amounts naturally, but this same conversion happens when THCa flower is heated with a lighter, torch, vape, or oven. Once converted into Delta 9 THC, it interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to produce relaxing euphoria.
How is THCa flower made?
THCa flower is a naturally occurring cannabis flower. It is not created or manufactured using any man-made processes. Research has shown that this cannabinoid shows up early on and grows in abundance as the plant grows. During maturation, the flower is heated by the surrounding area and the sun. This decarboxylates small amounts of THCa into Delta 9 THC. This process occurs on a larger scale when THCa flower is heated using a flame or other heat source. When cannabis flower is tested using a liquid chromatography test, it has been found that all strains have a higher THCa concentration than Delta 9.
What is Cannabis Sativa flower?
The Cannabis Sativa flower was first classified in 1753 by Swedish biologist and physician Carl Linnaeus. Sativa simply means “cultivated.” Sativa strains grow tall and spindly. The leaves are very thin compared to an Indica strain. Warmer climates are preferred by Sativa strains because of their longer growth cycle. Generally, there is more THC than CBD in a Sativa strain. This makes them effective in helping with depression, headache, and weight loss, but it can cause anxiety in some people who consume too much.
Many people say Sativa strains are energizing and can create intense cerebral psychoactive effects. Many sativa strains do have this effect, but there are plenty of Sativa strains that don’t. Experts agree that each strain’s effects are determined by the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profile. A person’s physiology also plays a role in the effects of a strain. This is why two people can smoke or ingest the same strain and have completely different effects.
What is Cannabis Indica flower?
JeanBaptiste Lamark, the French biologist, proposed a new species of cannabis called Indica after receiving samples from India in 1785. Lamark described the differences between Indica and the European Sativa plant in his book. Indica plants grow shorter and bushier than Sativa plants with wider leaves. They grow well in colder climates because of their shorter growth cycle.
Almost everyone is quick to say that Indica strains create an intense body buzz and cerebral euphoria. This can be very relaxing and helps reduce anxiety and improve sleep. This may be true for many Indica strains, but it is not true for all of them. Experts agree that genetics have little to do with the overall effects. The psychoactive effects are determined more by the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids present. Each person’s physiology determines the effects of strains. That is why two different people can have two different experiences even though they both smoked the same strain. Some Indica strains can have a stronger concentration of THC while another has more CBD. Usually, there is about a one-to-one ratio.
What is a Sativa Indica Hybrid Strain?
Cross-breeding between Sativa and Indica strains has been happening for a long time by Mother Nature. Growers have been a bit more selective and crossbred specifically to harness the relaxing effects of one strain and pair it with the clear-headed high of another. This has given rise to some of the most popular cannabis strains in dispensaries across the country. Many growers maintain a genealogy log to show which strains have been bred, ensuring the origins of strains. A Sativa Indica hybrid strain is generally considered to have 50% Indica and 50% Sativa genes. However, the ratio can be different. And sub-category strains Indica-dominant and Sativa-dominant are a little more apt.
What is the Difference Between Indica and Sativa Strains?
It has been an accepted opinion by many consumers that an Indica strain has an intense psychoactive effect that is very relaxing and lethargic. Most people are also of the opinion that a Sativa strain has an uplifting euphoric effect is energizing and creative. This can be true for a lot of people. But, it is not true for everyone. Indica strains, like Granddaddy Purple, can be very uplifting, and some Sativa strains, like the Mac 1 strain, keep some people on the couch. These effects depend more on the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profile of each strain. A person’s physiology also plays a role in the effects. This is why one strain can affect two people very differently.
There is one big difference between the Indica and Sativa strains. That is how and where they grow. Indica strains are shorter bushier plants with wide leaves. They fare better in colder climates due to the shorter growth cycle. Sativa strains are taller and have thinner stalks and leaves. They prefer warmer climates because of their longer growth cycle.
Which is Stronger Indica or Sativa?
The strength of the effects depends on the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profile. Plus, one’s own body and tolerance level. The potency levels of Indica and Sativa strains vary widely depending on the strain and how it was grown. Some people prefer higher terpene levels of Myrcene while others enjoy the feel of a stronger Limonene concentration. Both Sativa and Indica strains have potency levels that exceed 35%. Deciding on whether an Indica or a Sativa strain is stronger is a personal opinion. Trying both is the only way for someone to decide.
What is the Gary Payton Strain?
The Gary Payton strain is a highly sought-after Hybrid strain due to its even clear-headed effects. It was bred in collaboration with NBA great Gary Payton by crossing the Y and Snowman strains. This results in a fairly high THCa potency of 20% – 25%. Many report this strain to be very relaxing and can reduce anxiety and depression. The dominant terpenes in the strain are Alpha-Pinene, Linalool, and Humulene. The Gary Payton strain is said to have a very long-lasting happy and energizing euphoric effect that many enjoy throughout the day and into the evening.
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are the naturally occurring compounds that give many organisms their aroma. This includes plants, some animals, and even a few insects. Pine trees, tulips, apples, and bananas all have multiple terpenes that contribute to the aroma. Researchers have indicated that terpenes contribute to the body’s homeostasis. They work synergistically to boost the benefits of cannabis. There are a dozen prominent terpenes in cannabis, but the three most prevalent are Myrcene, Linalool, and Alpha-Pinene.
What is Alpha-Pinene?
Alpha-pinene is a very distinct terpene with a pine and slightly minty aroma. Other than many cannabis strains, it is also present in pine, cedar, and sage. The Blue Dream strain and Grape Frosty strain are packed with this terpene.
What are the Benefits of Alpha-pinene?
Alpha-pinene is reported by many to be a natural mood stabilizer. It is said to help reduce anxiety while making someone more chatty. Studies have shown that this terpene could help as an anti-nausea and antioxidant.
What is Linalool?
Linalool has a sweet lavender and mint fragrance that is slightly cinnamon. It can be found in lavender, laurel, and rosewood. This amazing terpene can be found in the Sex Panther strain, Han Solo strain, and Granddaddy Purple.
What are the Benefits of Linalool?
Many people report feeling energized with a tingly sensation after consuming strains with Linalool. Research has shown that his terpene promotes relaxation and enhances sleep.
What is Humulene?
Humulene comforts the mind with an aroma that is described as basil, sage, and clove-like. Other than cannabis, this terpene can be found in hops, ginseng, and coriander. This distinct flavor can be found in the Gary Payton strain and Granddaddy Purple.
What are the Benefits of Humulene?
Humulene is often associated with a clear-headed euphoria that can be relaxing and creative. Studies show that Humulene may reduce chronic inflammation and the associated pain.
What are Flavonoids?
Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds throughout the plant kingdom. There are 6,000 different flavonoids identified. They serve as secondary metabolites and are the most prevalent nutrients in the plant world. Researchers determined flavonoids play an important role in cell cycle progression, helping with seed development and growth processes. They also support defense mechanisms by boosting resistance to bacteria, fungi, insects, and UV rays.
Primarily, flavonoids play an important role in the color and appearance of plants. The root word for flavonoids is flavus which means “yellow.” Scientists chose this term because yellow is the most abundant hue. Flavonoids also contribute to the aroma and taste of plants. A difference in flavonoid profiles can be the reason why two strains have identical terpene profiles, but different aromas and effects.
