How is this legal?

Let's break down some cannabis basics to make it super easy to understand! What is THC-A? Imagine the tiny, shiny crystals you see on your cannabis—that's THC-A. It's pretty much the raw version of THC. Some folks get mixed up, asking if it's "real THC or THC-A?" Here's the deal: they're essentially the same thing, just at different stages. THC-A is what your weed naturally has. "I've tried THC-A before, and it didn't quite hit the mark like regular weed did." If you've felt this way, it might have been due to the quality of the flower you got. Just like when shopping for anything else, there's a mix out there. Some options might not be the best quality, kind of like the "reggie" stuff you hear about. Then, there are the top-shelf varieties, often referred to as "gas," which are way better in terms of effect and experience. Here's the good news: when you're with us at The Healing Clinic, you're in for a treat. We're all about bringing you some of the finest flowers from California. Quality and satisfaction are what we stand for, so you can trust you're getting the best with us. Welcome to the family, where the good stuff is a given! Turning THC-A into THC So, how does THC-A become the THC we're all more familiar with? Heat! When you light up, bake, or vape your weed, you're introducing heat, which transforms THC-A into THC. This process is called decarboxylation or "decarbing" for short. Still with me? Great, here's something cool: Did You Know? In California dispensaries, cannabis is tagged with its THC-A content on lab reports. That's because, before heat is applied, it's mostly THC-A. Calculating THC Content Want to know the THC level after heating your weed? There's a formula for that: THC-A% times 0.877. Why 0.877? It's the average amount of THC left after the acid part is gone. The Legal Stuff Here's where it gets a bit legal-y: According to the 2018 Farm Bill, cannabis with more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC is considered marijuana. Less than that? It's hemp. So technically, raw cannabis flower, which has THC-A, fits into the hemp category because THC-A isn't Delta-9 THC. Why Different States Have Different Labels Ever wondered why dispensaries in some states list Delta 9 THC on their labels, but others don't? It's because states can choose how they want cannabis tested. In Texas, for example, dispensaries can pick their testing method. Lab Testing Methods Explained Gas Chromatography: This method uses heat, which changes THC-A to Delta-9 THC during the test. High Pressure Liquid Chromatography: No heat means the weed's tested as THC-A. So, each state's laws and testing methods can affect how cannabis is labeled and regulated. Pretty interesting, right? . . . . In light of the aforementioned considerations, it is our duty to inform you that our inventory does not include any smokeable hemp products. Our product range is exclusively comprised of herbal items, designed for consumption in their natural, raw form. This clarification is provided to ensure full transparency and compliance with regulatory standards concerning our product offerings. Here's a long read for the nerds: Consuming raw cannabis, unlike smoking or vaporizing, does not produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC because the raw plant contains THCA, which is non-psychoactive. Here are some benefits of consuming cannabis in its raw form: Rich in Cannabinoids: Raw cannabis is high in cannabinoids like THCA and CBDA, which have their own health benefits. THCA is thought to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, while CBDA may have anti-nausea effects. Full Spectrum of Terpenes and Flavonoids: The raw plant preserves its full spectrum of terpenes and flavonoids, which can have therapeutic effects. Terpenes may offer various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety effects, while flavonoids possess antioxidant properties. No Psychoactive Effects: Since raw cannabis doesn't expose cannabinoids to heat, it doesn't convert THCA into THC, meaning it won't produce psychoactive effects. This can be especially beneficial for individuals seeking the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the high. Nutritional Benefits: Cannabis leaves are rich in vitamins (including vitamin C and vitamin K), minerals (such as calcium and iron), and fiber. These nutritional components make raw cannabis a beneficial addition to a healthy diet. Antioxidant Properties: Both THCA and CBDA have been found to possess antioxidant properties, which can help protect the body from stress and damage caused by free radicals. Potential for Anti-Inflammatory and Pain Relief: Although research is still in its early stages, some studies suggest that raw cannabis can help reduce inflammation and pain. This could be particularly useful for individuals with conditions like arthritis or chronic pain. Improved Digestive Health: The fiber content in raw cannabis can support digestive health, aiding in digestion and potentially reducing the risk of gastrointestinal diseases. Potential Immune System Boost: Some research suggests that cannabinoids can modulate the immune system, potentially offering a boost to immune health, though more research is needed to fully understand these effects. It's important to note that while there are potential benefits to consuming raw cannabis, more research is needed to fully understand its effects and how best to use it for health purposes. Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding raw cannabis or any new supplement to your diet, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications.
