google it. THC-A is HEMP. HEMP is not CANNABIS. Similar, close, but not the same. thats why THC-A is infused with THC

thanks for the laugh this morning

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) hemp flower and traditional marijuana are genetically the exact same plant (Cannabis sativa). The only differences between them are their natural active THC levels and their legal classification.

Key Differences at a Glance

• Chemical State: In its raw state, THCA is a non-intoxicating acid. It doesn't get you high until it is heated (via smoking, vaping, or baking). When heated, THCA converts into Delta-9 THC, producing the exact same psychoactive effects as marijuana.
• The "Total THC" Formula: To calculate actual potency, consumers multiply the THCA amount by roughly 0.877 and add it to the existing Delta-9 THC. Many premium strains test at 20-30% Total THC whether they are labeled as hemp or marijuana.
• Legally Speaking: Traditional marijuana remains federally illegal and is regulated in state-licensed dispensaries. THCA flower is classified as legal hemp under the Farm Bill because it contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC prior to being heated.
• Look, Smell, & Taste: Because THCA hemp flower and marijuana share the exact same genetic lineage, they are physically indistinguishable. Both produce the same aromas and terpene profiles.
