What is THCA?

THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is a naturally occurring compound found in raw cannabis. It is the precursor to THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), the compound that is responsible for the psychoactive effects, or "high," commonly associated with cannabis. However, THCA itself does not produce these psychoactive effects.

How THCA is Formed

THCA is produced in the trichomes (tiny hair-like structures) of raw cannabis plants. When the plant is harvested and remains uncured, THCA is abundant in the plant’s flowers, leaves, and stems. It is one of the many cannabinoids found in cannabis, which also include CBD, CBG, and CBC.

THCA vs. THC: What’s the Difference?

The main difference between THCA and THC is their chemical structure and the effects they produce. While both come from the same plant, their impact on the body is distinct:

THCA: In its raw form, THCA is not intoxicating. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, but without causing the "high" effect.

THC: When THCA is exposed to heat through smoking, vaping, or cooking, a process called decarboxylation occurs, converting THCA into THC. This process changes the compound and results in the psychoactive effects THC is known for.

Potential Health Benefits of THCA

Though it doesn’t get you high, THCA has been the subject of growing research for its potential medicinal properties. Some of the reported benefits include:

Anti-inflammatory Properties: THCA may help reduce inflammation, making it useful in treating conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Neuroprotective Effects: Early research suggests that THCA could have neuroprotective properties, potentially helping those with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson’s.

Anti-emetic: THCA might help alleviate nausea and vomiting, making it a promising option for patients undergoing chemotherapy or dealing with digestive disorders.

Pain Relief: THCA may provide natural pain relief without the psychoactive effects of THC, offering an alternative for those looking for pain management solutions without intoxication.

Read this blog to know what does THCa do and the benefits of THCa in detail.

How to Use THCA

THCA is found in raw cannabis, so methods of consumption that avoid heat allow you to experience its effects without converting it to THC. Some popular ways to use THCA include:

Raw Cannabis Juicing: Consuming raw cannabis through juicing retains the THCA in its pure form.

Tinctures: THCA tinctures are available for sublingual use (under the tongue), offering a controlled way to consume THCA without heating it.

Topicals: THCA can be infused into balms and lotions for localized relief from pain and inflammation.

The Future of THCA Research

As cannabis research continues to evolve, THCA has gained more attention from scientists and medical professionals. While it still lags behind THC and CBD in terms of popularity, its unique properties make it a promising candidate for further study. Researchers are particularly interested in its potential for non-psychoactive treatments for various ailments.

Conclusion

THCA offers an intriguing glimpse into the untapped potential of cannabinoids beyond THC. Though it doesn’t produce a high, its potential health benefits make it a valuable compound in its own right. Whether through juicing, tinctures, or topicals, THCA provides a natural way to engage with cannabis without the psychoactive effects, offering a gentler introduction to the plant's medicinal properties.

So like. As a teenager. I couldn't imagine living to 18 because of grief and depression and was fine with the idea of dying so young. But now that i have this desire to live. I'm worried my physical illness will mean I won't make it to 28.

[thequeenofsastiel]

So while I don't love the idea of sharing my medical information like this, especially because the reason for my illness was pure stupidity on my part, I think what happened to me is so important for people to know, especially since cannabis(weed/pot/grass/marijuana etc) will almost certainly be legalized in the United States nationwide for recreational use in the next few years.

Now, let me preface this by saying that I 100% support legalization. Don't get it twisted. But there's a disease associated with cannabis use that I think is important to know about.

What happened to me was Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. For people who don't want to click the link, essentially what happened is that my brain stopped processing THC(one of the active ingredients in cannabis which starts out as THCA but turns into THC when burned) in the same way that it normally does. They still don't completely understand why yet, though hopefully more research will be done to explain what exactly is happening in the brain and body. The symptoms are cyclical vomiting and intense abdominal pain. Because the disease isn't well known, people who get it usually end up consuming more and more because paradoxically cannabis treats what it causes. This can lead to a complete inability to even keep water down, which can result in kidney failure, killing the person who has it. This is almost what happened to me.

About six years ago I developed the disease. Like most people, I had no idea what was wrong so I kept smoking more and more. I lost all of my body fat, my muscles got eaten away to the point where I couldn't walk or even feed myself. I eventually had to go to the hospital for a kidney infection. I went to five doctors before I got to one who knew about CHS and was able to diagnose me. So I stopped smoking cannabis, and recovered eventually. And I would be remiss to not acknowledge that the only reason I survived was because my girlfriend and her husband(I'm poly) insisted that I move in with them so they could take care of me. They hand fed me, held me up in the shower, took me to doctors, and even allowed me to bring my cat to their house despite the fact that husband was allergic. I owe them my life.

For over a year, I couldn't even be in the same room as someone smoking cannabis. But slowly it got to the point where I could. And because cannabis is addictive(yes, it is addictive, don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you otherwise), I started smoking periodically. But I couldn't do it too often or my symptoms came back. CHS is a lifelong condition, as far as we're currently aware.

A few weeks back my roommate went out of town and asked me to care for their cat, saying I could have as much of their weed as I wanted. Because I was addicted and also stupid I smoked for a week straight. Then they came back and I stopped. I knew I'd probably pay for it, but I had no idea how much.

About a week and a half ago, I woke up around 2 AM needing to use the restroom. But I was massively dizzy and couldn't walk straight, and kept crashing into walls on my way there. I managed to go and make it back to my bed, and spent a couple of hours slowly getting dizzier and dizzier and more and more panicked. I finally decided that I couldn't handle it alone, so I reluctantly woke up my roommate. They sat with me on the couch while I got worse and worse(and berated me for not waking them up sooner, god I love my roommate).

After about an hour we realized we had no choice but to go to the hospital. We were planning on taking their car, but I eventually crumpled to the ground and was only barely responsive, so they called an ambulance. They had to strap me to a chair to carry me down two flights of stairs(we live on the third floor).

Once I got to the hospital, the doctors ran every test imaginable and they couldn't find anything wrong with me, likely because they've yet to develop tests for CHS. Since we couldn't find anything wrong with me, we had to assume that it was my CHS recurring. But it was worse this time.

The last time I had CHS, I never collapsed and became non responsive. I just lost more and more weight and had abdominal pain so severe that I could barely bring myself to breathe. So I had no way of anticipating what would happen. None of the research done on it so far indicates that this could be a result.

The result wasn't just nausea. I couldn't walk. Which made no sense. My leg muscles were fine. I didn't have any physical injuries. But I couldn't walk. So I was sent to a physical rehab facility. After a few days I finally had a physical therapist who is familiar with CHS and also has extensive knowledge of how the brain works. She said that what probably happened was that cannabis scrambled the neurons in my brain which damaged my ability to process external information in the way needed to be able to balance enough to walk. There's no guarantee that that's exactly what happened, but it makes the most sense to me. So they needed to work with me while my brain recovered. Which it did. I'm fine now. Though I still need anti nausea meds, but that probably won't be for much longer; my stomach appears to be recovering.

That's what happened to me. I don't like sharing how stupid I was, but I think it's important that people know that this is a potential side effect of cannabis use. Please either reblog this, make your own post about it, and/or tell people in your life that this can happen. Because this disease kills. I feel lucky to be alive after this. Though I will likely owe thousands of dollars to the hospital even with insurance. I don't know how much yet, and I'm not looking forward to the bill. Yay to the American healthcare system.

Sidenote, a fascinating side effect happened. I can no longer remember what it feels like to be high. Like intellectually I could tell you what it felt like, but the feeling is no longer there. The urge is no longer there. That's why I've been using past tense when I say I was addicted to it. The desire is simply gone for the first time in ten years. I think my brain is protecting itself. Refusing to allow me to want it so this never happens again. It's incredible what trauma can do to the brain. And may I just say. Thank fucking goodness.

The Positive Potential of THCA: A Cannabinoid with Benefits

THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is emerging as a fascinating cannabinoid that holds promise for those interested in the benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects typically associated with THC. As the precursor to THC, THCA is non-psychoactive in its natural state, allowing users to explore its potential health benefits safely.

The Transformation of THCA

One of the most intriguing aspects of THCA is its transformation into THC when exposed to heat, such as during cooking, smoking, or vaping. This means that while you can enjoy THCA in its raw form—often found in fresh cannabis or juices—you can also access the psychoactive effects by decarboxylating it. This flexibility offers users a way to choose their desired experience based on how they consume cannabis.

Health Benefits of THCA

Research into THCA is still in its early stages, but preliminary studies suggest that it may have several therapeutic properties. Some potential benefits include:

Anti-inflammatory Properties: THCA may help reduce inflammation, which could be beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis.

Neuroprotective Effects: There is some evidence to suggest that THCA might support brain health, potentially offering protective effects against neurodegenerative diseases.

Nausea Relief: THCA may assist in alleviating nausea and vomiting, making it a potential option for those undergoing treatments like chemotherapy.

Accessibility and Legal Status

THCA’s legal standing under the 2018 Farm Bill contributes to its appeal. The bill legalized hemp and its derivatives, provided that the final product contains no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. This classification allows for the sale and consumption of THCA in many areas, making it more accessible than traditional THC products.

However, it's worth noting that a few states—such as Arkansas, Idaho, Minnesota, Oregon, and Rhode Island—maintain stricter regulations regarding THCA, so consumers should stay informed about their local laws.

A Gateway to Exploration

THCA opens up new avenues for those looking to explore the benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects of THC. Its potential therapeutic properties, combined with its unique ability to convert into THC through heat, make it an exciting option for both medical and recreational users alike.

As interest in THCA continues to grow, ongoing research and user experiences will further illuminate its benefits and uses. For now, THCA stands out as a versatile cannabinoid worth considering for anyone interested in the healing properties of cannabis.

Cannabis Beverages: A better way?

Cannabis beverages are rapidly gaining popularity in the cannabis industry, offering a novel and discrete way to consume cannabis. These drinks come in various forms, including teas, sodas, and even cocktails, infused with cannabinoids such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). This post explores how cannabis beverages are made, their advantages over other consumption methods, and tips for safe and responsible use.

How Cannabis Beverages Are Made

Decarboxylation: The first step in making cannabis beverages is decarboxylation. This process involves heating cannabis to activate its psychoactive properties. Raw cannabis contains THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) and CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), which must be converted into THC and CBD, respectively, through heating.

Extraction: After decarboxylation, cannabinoids are extracted from the cannabis plant. This can be done using various methods, including CO2 extraction, ethanol extraction, or oil infusion. CO2 extraction is often preferred for its efficiency and ability to produce a pure, high-quality product.

Emulsification: Cannabinoids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not mix well with water. To create a stable beverage, emulsification is necessary. This involves breaking down the cannabinoids into tiny particles and suspending them in the liquid using an emulsifier. Nanoemulsion technology is commonly used, which reduces the cannabinoid particles to nano-sized droplets, enhancing their absorption and effectiveness.

Infusion: The emulsified cannabinoids are then infused into the beverage base. This base can be anything from water, tea, soda, or even alcoholic beverages. The infusion process ensures that the cannabinoids are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.

Flavoring and Packaging: The final step involves adding flavors to enhance the taste of the beverage and packaging it in a way that maintains its freshness and potency. This may include adding natural fruit flavors, sweeteners, or other ingredients to create a palatable and enjoyable drink.

Advantages of Cannabis Beverages

Discretion and Convenience: Cannabis beverages are highly discreet and convenient. Unlike smoking or vaping, which can be conspicuous and produce a strong odor, cannabis beverages look and feel like any other drink. This makes them ideal for social settings or for individuals who prefer a more private way to consume cannabis.

Precise Dosage: One of the significant benefits of cannabis beverages is the ability to control dosage accurately. Each beverage typically indicates the amount of THC or CBD it contains, allowing users to consume a specific amount. This is particularly beneficial for medicinal users who require precise dosages to manage their symptoms.

Faster Onset and Duration: Compared to edibles, which can take up to two hours to take effect, cannabis beverages generally have a faster onset time. The nanoemulsion technology used in many cannabis drinks allows for quicker absorption into the bloodstream, leading to effects that can be felt within 15 to 45 minutes. Additionally, the effects of cannabis beverages can last longer than smoking or vaping, providing extended relief.

Healthier Alternative: For health-conscious consumers, cannabis beverages offer a smoke-free alternative to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Smoking cannabis can have adverse effects on the lungs, while beverages eliminate this risk entirely. Additionally, many cannabis beverages are formulated with low-calorie or health-oriented ingredients, appealing to those who prioritize their overall well-being.

Safe and Responsible Use of Cannabis Beverages

Start Low and Go Slow: If you are new to cannabis beverages, start with a low dose and give it time to take effect before consuming more. The potency of cannabis beverages can vary, and individual tolerance levels differ. Beginning with a small amount helps to avoid overconsumption and any unwanted side effects.

Understand the Dosage: Pay close attention to the dosage information on the label of the cannabis beverage. Most products will specify the amount of THC and CBD per serving. Understanding the dosage helps you manage your intake and achieve the desired effects without exceeding your tolerance.

Be Mindful of Timing: The onset time for cannabis beverages can be shorter than edibles but still requires some patience. Avoid consuming additional doses too quickly. Wait at least 30 to 45 minutes to assess the effects before considering more.

Stay Hydrated: Like any beverage, it is essential to stay hydrated when consuming cannabis drinks. Drinking water alongside your cannabis beverage can help mitigate any potential dehydration and maintain overall well-being.

Avoid Mixing with Alcohol: Combining cannabis beverages with alcohol can intensify the effects of both substances and may lead to uncomfortable or adverse reactions. It is best to avoid mixing the two, especially if you are unfamiliar with how your body responds to cannabis.

Store Safely: Keep cannabis beverages out of reach of children and pets. Store them in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency and prevent accidental consumption.

Know the Laws: Be aware of the legal status of cannabis beverages in your area. Regulations regarding the purchase, possession, and consumption of cannabis products vary by region. Ensure you are compliant with local laws to avoid any legal issues.

THCa flower, the stakes are high and the chances are slim…

Dateline 1-3-24

It’s cold outside here in Middle Tennessee, so The Old Hemp Farmer is nursing a wonderful hot cup of organic Indonesian coffee and noshing some Costa Rican Cacao fortified with Tennessee homegrown Cannabis extract. Which is just one of the many Tennessee homegrown Recreational Cannabis edibles that’ll remain legal after July 1st of this year, which is a good thing because we will probably lose three different revenue streams - D8 Vape cartridges, THCa Pre-rolls and D8/D9 Tinctures unless…

So this morning’s blurb is about how possibly the high THCa Industry can be salvaged here in Tennessee. There are two scenarios that can possible save the Cannabis “cash cow” that is known as THCa. The first scenario that could save your THCa favorite product could start January 9th when the 2024 Tennessee legislative session commences. During this upcoming legislative session the House and Senate could simple rewrite HB0304 to state that all testing would be for Delta 9 THC only and this would apply to Cannabis grown by licensed Tennessee farmers. Lee Crabtree and I have been compliantly growing Cannabis in the state for going on eight years and presently we have to watch the majority of THCa flower being sold in Tennessee being Black Market grown other states. There is only one way to battle Black Market Cannabis and that is to have a Vertical (grown, processed, packaged and inspected in state) Cannabis program that provides relatively inexpensive high THCa flower that can be accessed easily. Which is an easily understood concept but I strongly doubt the Republican Super majority that control the Tennessee House and Senate are going to be comfortable with basically sensible Cannabis laws. So The Old Hemp Farmer doesn’t see HB0403 rewritten to save high THCa Flower because the majority of folks in the Tennessee Statehouse still harbor animosity against marijuana, which is basically what high THCa Flower actually is, so that ship probably won’t sail.

The other way that could possibly salvage the high THCa flower Industry in Tennessee is the ongoing campaign of petitioning the Tennessee Department of Agriculture with letters, phone calls and texts to amend the methodology (testing for Delta 9 THC from post decarboxylation to pre decarboxylation) of testing Cannabis products. (Doesn’t seem like much but the difference is everything to wholesalers and retailers.) With the Culmination of this “Save The THCA flower” campaign being hopefully a mass of Cannabis folks attending the town hall meeting where Public comment is scheduled for Feb. 6, 2024, at 10 a.m. at the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Porter Building Atrium. So let us say a gang of folks actually do contact their legislators and the TDA to plead for high THCa flower and products, will this approach work? Maybe, maybe not. I’m not sure if people realize that the Tennessee Department of Agriculture was founded in 1854 and is the oldest state agency in Tennessee. This Cabinet-level agency is one of the largest and most firmly entrenched bureaucracies in Tennessee executive branch and supposedly only answers to the Governor. Which means the TDA can’t be voted out of office so they know their jobs are safe. Assured longevity has its rewards. Also know that the forthcoming lack of the public’s access to high THCa flower and the loss of revenue at Cannabis companies isn’t a crisis at the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. But be assured that the TDA will listen attentively but in the end these civil servants will do what they think is best for their agency and their pensions. Anyway as always, Hemp Dawgs and Hemp Puppies keep one eye on the weather and the other eye on the market.

How to Make Potent Weed Brownies

Cannabis edibles have been gaining popularity as they allow consumers to cater to their sweet tooth and cannabis cravings at the same time. It is a pleasurable method of consumption as it tastes delicious, doesn’t affect the user's lungs, and can be made at a mild or strong potency. The high comes on a little slower, and the strength can be dependent on how much food you have consumed before taking your edible. Edibles have also been well known to help those who suffer from insomnia as they produce a very relaxing high.

The original and most famous edible is none other than the Weed Brownie. THC brownies can sometimes be found at your local dispensary if you live in a legal state or have a medical card. If you live in a state where THC is still recreationally illegal, CBD brownies can be purchased online. For those who don’t have access to purchasing pre-made brownies, or would like a more cost-effective solution, the best thing to do is roll up their sleeves and make a batch. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a newbie in the kitchen, this guide is designed to make your weed brownie baking experience as smooth and enjoyable as your final product.

Ingredients:

Your favorite brownie mix

Vegetable oil or melted butter (as per your mix’s instructions)

Eggs

Water

Decarboxylated Cannabis

Pro Tip: If you would like to make a gluten-free or slightly healthier brownie, substitute your vegetable oil or butter with coconut oil. Coconut oil is not only gluten-free but also a fantastic fat for cannabis infusion. It has a high saturated fat content, making it excellent at absorbing cannabinoids. Plus, its subtle, sweet flavor complements the chocolatey richness of the brownies.

Supplies:

Mixing bowl

Strainer

Pot and lid

Baking pan

Parchment paper or Aluminum Foil

Importance of Decarboxylation

One of the most critical steps in creating potent and effective weed edibles, including our beloved brownies, is decarboxylation. This process might sound complex, but it's actually simple chemistry that makes a world of difference in your baking. Understanding the science behind it not only enhances your baking skills but also ensures you're getting the most out of your cannabis. Let's break down what decarboxylation is and why it's so essential.

Raw cannabis contains THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), which is non-psychoactive. This means that consuming raw cannabis won't give you the 'high' associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Decarboxylation transforms THCA into THC, the compound known for its psychoactive properties. Decarboxylation ensures that the psychoactive and medicinal properties of THC and CBD are activated. Without this process, your weed brownies might taste great, but they won’t deliver the effects you’re looking for. If you have the option to select your strain, this will dictate the effects of your weed brownies. Indica helps with relaxing, Sativa helps with uplifting, and hybrid for a bit of both.

How to Make Potent Weed Brownies

Step 1: Decarb your Cannabis

Break It Down: Start by breaking your cannabis buds into small pieces. This increases the surface area and ensures more even decarboxylation.

Spread Evenly: Spread the cannabis evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This prevents sticking and ensures even heat distribution.

Low and Slow: Bake in a preheated oven at 240°F (115°C) for about 30-40 minutes. This time can vary depending on the moisture content of your cannabis. The color should change to a dark green color and be dry to the touch once finished.

Cool Down: Allow the cannabis to cool after removing it from the oven. It’s now ready for use in your edibles.

Pro Tip: If you have the time, put your weed in a metal tea holder, coffee filter, or strainer and boil it for 5 minutes before decarbing. This removes any dirt and contaminants and will ultimately lead to a better-tasting oil or butter without any earthy taste and aroma. You must remove the herb from the boiling water, put it in ice, and form it into a ball to squeeze out any moisture. Please note that you may need to decarb at slightly higher temps for longer. Some may think that boiling the weed would decrease potency, but it does not and your brownies will come out just as potent and much better tasting.

Step 2: Infuse Your Oil or Butter

Now that your bud has been decarboxylated, it is time to infuse it with your oil or butter. Infusing your oil or butter is where your weed's potency gets transferred to your brownies. Mix your decarboxylated cannabis with your choice of fat (oil or butter) and gently simmer for 2-3 hours. This slow infusion ensures maximum THC absorption. Once done, strain the mixture to remove the plant material.

Step 3: Strain Your Canna-Oil or Canna-Butter

This is the messiest step, but is essential in removing the small pieces of herb from your oil and butter. Simply pour the butter through a strainer and press any pieces of weed to extract any last drops of oil or butter that the herb has absorbed.

Step 4: Mix Your Brownie Batter

Mix your brownie batter as per the package instructions, substituting regular oil or butter with your cannabis-infused version. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the cannabis oil.

Step 5: Bake and Enjoy

Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake as per the brownie mix instructions. Once baked, let them cool (the hardest part is waiting!), cut them into even pieces, and enjoy your homemade weed brownies.

Tips to get the most out of your weed brownie experience.

Do not consume food two hours before eating your weed brownie. This ensures your stomach will only be focused on digesting your weed brownie and the THC and CBD inside of it.

If you are worried about the strength, you can find potency calculators online, which will help you determine the number of milligrams in each brownie. A single dose is 5mg, so beginners should start there and gradually eat more. The strength will be largely dependent on the user's weight and food consumption prior to ingesting the brownie.

Pair your brownie with a nice beverage. Coffee, milk or wine are all beverages that paid exceptionally well with weed brownies due to their effects and taste.

Invite some friends for a helping hand with preparing and enjoying the brownies. Chances are you’ll want some help with the prep, cooking, and cleaning as making weed brownies can be laborous, but very rewarding. Who better to show off your new recipe and share the fruits of your labor with than close friends!

Store your leftovers in a cool dry place and airtight container. If you made more than you can consume in a week, it is recommended to freeze them and defrost them a few hours before you’re ready to consume them for the most freshness.

[horce-divorce]

extremely curious about how the onset of d8 and the thca/v/p etc will change the landscape in states like Wisconsin. even kwik trip has d8 and cbd. every single state around us has legalized weed, and people who live close enough to drive to the dispos in the UP will just do that instead. we're like 2 hours from the border and there's like no real weed to be found anywhere, like nobody has A Weedguy anymore. it's all legal d8, you just go to the gas station. there's even a store called The Dispensary.

I have to say also, like, weed is superior to d8 in every way hands down. But the live resin hhc (the one we have is mixed with cbd and cbn as well) is really fucking good. It does give me a bit of a headache, and it's a harsher vape than regular thc, but it does the trick in every other way; pain management, munchies, sleep aid. I also remember my dreams slightly better with the hhc. I would prefer real weed any day of the week, but I also wonder if this stuff might be a good trick to keep your tolerance down and make sure your dose stays effective. this shit got. me. STONED. like weed hasn't done for me in years. I'm very curious if weed will be able to knock me out again after a time of using just this stuff.

One important thing to remember before getting started is that you will need a supply of high-quality cannabis buds or medical marijuana in order to make good-quality cannabis butter. The better quality of your starting material, the better your end product will be. Once you have gathered all of your ingredients, you are ready to begin!

Ingredients:

- 7 grams of cannabis flower

- 1 cup of butter

- 1 cup of water

- A cannabis grinder

- One nonstick baking sheet

- One stovetop pot

- A thermometer (optional)

- Cheesecloth

Step 1: Decarb the cannabis

To activate the beneficial cannabinoids found within the cannabis flower, the flower must first be decarboxylated or "decarb." "The decarbing process is a chemical change that converts the THCA to THC," explains Katie Stem, extraction expert, and Peak Extracts CEO.

If you skip this step, your butter will be much weaker. There's a chance that some of the THCA will convert to THC during the slow melt process of the butter, but you'll lose a lot of the beneficial cannabinoids if you skip the decarb "activation" step.

Here's a quick and simple method for decarbing your flower:

1. Prepare your cannabis flower by grinding it. Make use of a grinder designed specifically for cannabis. You'll end up with a coarsely ground herb.

2. Preheat the oven to 230–245 degrees Fahrenheit. 240 degrees is ideal for my oven, but it also depends on the age of your oven and how evenly it cooks.

3. Arrange your ground cannabis on a nonstick baking sheet. A nonstick baking sheet that has not previously been used for cooking food is preferred. If you only have a food-safe pan, cover it with parchment paper to protect the cannabis from any residue on the pan. This also aids in the prevention of sticking.

Step 2: Steep on the stovetop

After you've decarbed your weed, heat the butter on the stovetop and start infusing.

1. Melt together 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of water. The water will aid in the even heating of the butter. In the end, any water that does not evaporate will be removed. Use 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/8 ounce of cannabis for a half-batch.

2. Turn your burner to the lowest setting. The butter should be cooked at 150 degrees Fahrenheit, with a maximum temperature of 200 degrees. A cooking thermometer can assist you in determining the exact temperature.

3. Mix in your decarbed cannabis. Put a lid on the pot. This aids in the distribution of heat, which is ideal for a low, slow extraction.

4. Simmer for at least three hours at 150°F. If you want a more potent butter, steep it for four hours, but make sure the temperature is at its lowest. If you choose a longer cooking time, you may want to add more water because it evaporates and leaves the butter vulnerable to overheating. To avoid burning, stir occasionally.

Alternative methods: Double boiler or crockpot

Both of these methods aim to balance and stabilize the temperature of the butter, preventing it from becoming too hot or burning during the process.

For the double boiler method:

Simmer 1 cup of water in a large pot for the double boiler method. One cup of butter and cannabis in a glass or metal bowl on top of the pot. Cook for three hours. Maintain a close eye on the water level in the bottom pot and refill it as needed.

For the crockpot method:

Combine the cannabis, water, and butter in a pot. For three hours, set the crockpot to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 3: Strain your butter.

After three hours, and your home is filled with the faint aroma of cannabis mixed with butter, strain your mixture.

1. Cover a jar with several layers of cheesecloth. Use a rubber band to keep it from slipping while you strain. If you don't have any cheesecloth on hand, coffee filters will suffice. For this step, a standard metal food strainer will be too coarse.

2. Slowly pour the butter through the cheesecloth. Allow enough time for it to drain so that there is no overflow. You can discard or compost the spent weed once it has been thoroughly strained.

3. Allow it to cool. After 30 minutes at room temperature, transfer it to the refrigerator.

4. Drain any excess water. When it's cool and solidified, you should be able to see the butter on top and a thin layer of water on the bottom. Pour the water out of the jar with care. Hold the butter in place with a clean finger or utensil to prevent it from slipping out.

Step 4: Have fun!

Your cannabutter is now ready for consumption. To make dosing easier, cut it into small, uniform pieces. Cannabutter can be substituted for butter or oil in almost any recipe.

Because it is so potent, start with a small amount of cannabutter until you find your tolerance level. When dosing cannabutter for recipes, mix it with regular butter. You can always add more cannabutter or eat more edibles, but you can never take it back. Slow down.

How to store cannabutter

Store your canna butter in the fridge in an air-tight glass jar.

 A sealed mason jar works well. The canna butter stored in the fridge should last 3 to 4 weeks. You can also store it in an opaque or dark glass jar. Light exposure degrades cannabis over time, so any opaque jar or covering will extend its life.

You can also freeze cannabutter if you really want it to last. Freezing cannabis does not degrade its effects and can extend the life of the cannabutter up to six months.

Always smell older cannabutter. If it smells rancid, don't eat it.

Canna butter is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many dishes. Following these simple steps will help you make perfect canna butter every time. Keep in mind that depending on the recipes, the temperature and cooking time may vary, so always read instructions carefully to ensure the best results. With some patience and love, you can easily make delicious edibles from your own cannabis-infused butter at home.

How to make cannabis tea

Cannabis-mixed tea, similar to edibles, permits you to consume cannabis without the brutality that can accompany smoking or vaping. Yet, dissimilar to edibles, your weed tea will not contain most food allergens and is a lot quicker to get ready at home. You can make it in various ways utilizing a wide range of various fixings and portions of the plant, contingent upon your own inclinations. A couple of famous techniques for making weed tea are:

Imbuing water with dry cannabis bloom (less inebriating in light of the fact that THC isn't water-solvent)

Blending cannabis imbued with a fat (e.g., coconut oil, margarine, and so forth) with tea leaves and water to make latte-type refreshment

Does weed tea get you high?

Whenever arranged accurately, weed tea totally gets you high. In any case, making cannabis mixed tea that reliably gives an inebriating high isn't quite as straightforward as you could naturally suspect. Getting to THC in the plant can be little fussy thanks to decarboxylation and cannabinoid solvency factors, however dread not; when you figure out a couple of straightforward ideas, it's all green fields from that point!

Cannabis plants normally produce the non-inebriating compound THCA, which is THC yet with an additional carboxyl ring that obstructs the high we feel. Decarboxylation eliminates that ring by means of a warming interaction, switching THCA over completely to THC and initiating different restorative and inebriating properties. This might sound convoluted, yet the intensity applied to cannabis while smoking or disintegrating to incite decarboxylation requires no additional work on our part. The cycle likewise normally happens when cannabis is cooked with spread or oils, or when hash or kief are added to a most loved recipe and afterward warmed on an oven for edibles.

Assuming you decide to decarboxylate your cannabis utilizing a warming technique prior to adding it to the tea, recall that the ideal time and temperature for decarboxylation will differ contingent upon the accompanying variables:

How much dampness (water) in your item

How much item you use (i.e., dose)

The kind of broiler you approach (e.g., gas or electric)

How much weed do you really want for weed tea?

How much weed you want for weed tea relies heavily on to what lengths you're making and the way that extraordinary you will go for it to be. In the event that you intend to utilize one gram of cannabis blossom that tests at 20% THC that is upwards of 200 mg you could be soaking up, despite the fact that it's improbable you'll really ingest the bud's maximum capacity because of absorption and decarboxylation.

On the off chance that you're wanting to utilize dry blossom, you might require more than if you are utilizing an imbued fat-based item like margarine or oils, as THC is fat-solvent and ties preferred to them over to water. The recipes underneath utilize a moderately low measure of cannabis blossom, yet they're effectively versatile in the event that you really want to examination to track down your optimal portion.

Making weed tea

Weed tea is an elective ingestion technique you should attempt in the event that you'd like to partake in the useful impacts of cannabis without smoking or vaping. Drinking weed tea will give you a similar enduring effect you'd anticipate from cannabis edibles, less the additional calories.

The impacts of cannabis tea

Like edibles, cannabis tea needs to go through your stomach related framework before it arrives at the circulatory system. From that point forward, it gets used in the liver. You will start to feel the impacts of cannabis tea in 30-an hour and a half, contingent upon the cannabis strain, whether you have eaten as of late, and your individual endocannabinoid framework.

Since the impact is generally delayed to kick in, you may be enticed to consume more tea. Try not to be in a rush — stand by two hours prior to drinking another cup. You will most likely keep feeling the effect of weed tea for 7-8 hours.

Will cannabis tea get high?

To encounter the euphoric impacts of getting, the THCA in the cannabis plant should change over completely to THC through a cycle called decarboxylation, which requires warming. This happens normally when you consume cannabis through smoking or vaping. Heat additionally assists CBDA with changing over into CBD, the major restorative part in cannabis.

In edibles, decarboxylation happens when the cannabis is cooked, as a rule with oils or spread. The fat effectively ties the cannabinoids and extricates THC from the plant matter.

Basic weed tea recipes

With only a couple of fixings, you can partake in a comfortable cup of cannabis tea. You will require the accompanying:

1 gram of cannabis

1 tbsp of coconut oil or unsalted spread

4 cups of water

A teabag of your decision

Your favored sugar

A sifter, espresso channel, or cheesecloth

A tea kettle, mug, and spoon

Cleave or somewhat grind your cannabis, isolating every one of the seeds and stems. Heat up the water on a burner and add the coconut oil or spread, mixing vivaciously until it breaks down.

Add the teabag and your cannabis bring down the fire, and keep stewing for 7-10 minutes. Continue to mix consistently. A lower temperature will assist with saving the restorative properties of the plant.

Eliminate the tea kettle from the oven, dispose of the teabag, and strain the tea gradually and cautiously. On the off chance that you like to utilize a metal sifter, ensure it's an extremely fine one, or you'll have pieces of leaves in your mug. Dispose of any overabundance plant matter.

Improve your tea to taste and add milk or lemon as you like. You can likewise pick to add a cinnamon stick or a spring of peppermint to the hot tea to veil the trademark weed flavor.

You can make weed tea considerably more effectively in the event that you have cannabis-implanted spread, oil, or honey, or a cannabis tincture. Basically steep the cannabis separate in steaming hot water with a teabag of your decision, blend completely, add your favored sugar, and appreciate.

Recollect those cannabis stems you isolated in the first place? You can utilize them to mix weed stem tea and get a smidgen more out of your cannabis.

Introduction to Hemp-Derived THC Products:

In our last article, we learned to distinguish between over-the-counter, hemp-derived THC products and medical marijuana by understanding the 0.3% rule. This article delves deeper into how various cannabinoids become available from hemp and explores their effects.

Delta-6 THC:

Delta-6 THC is the most abundant cannabinoid in the cannabis plant, accounting for more than 40% of all cannabinoids. It offers a range of medicinal benefits, including anxiety and pain reduction. It constitutes a significant portion of cannabis-derived products and is known for its psychoactive effects and diverse biological activities, showing evidence of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-anxiety, anti-nausea, neuroprotective, anticonvulsant and anti-depressant effects.

Delta-8 THC:

Delta-8 THC, a synthetically produced psychoactive cannabinoid, provides a milder high than delta-9 THC. Its consumption is explored as an alternative to delta-9 THC, and it is considered a milder alternative with fewer of the side effects (paranoia, hunger, fatigue) sometimes associated with THC use. It is medicinally beneficial in the same ways as other cannabinoids, but does not occur naturally in great quantities and so must be synthesized from other cannabinoids such as CBD.

Delta-9 THC:

The landscape of THC has evolved since the 2018 Farm Bill, with delta-9 THC subject to varying laws nationwide. It is one of the most commonly occurring cannabinoids, first discovered in the 1960’s and studied (and enjoyed) extensively since. Thanks to its abundance it requires a minimal amount of processing. Hemp-derived delta-9 THC, sourced from legal hemp plants, shares the same properties as THC from marijuana (as hemp and marijuana are both cannabis) but differs in the extraction process.

Delta-10 THC:

Delta-10 THC, an isomer of delta-9 THC, exists naturally in small quantities in cannabis plants and is often synthesized from hemp-derived CBD. Positioned in a legal grey area, it is reported to offer stimulating and uplifting effects with fewer chances of inducing anxiety. It is popular amongst students and professionals for its energizing and euphoric effects.

Delta-11 THC:

Delta-11 THC, a minor cannabinoid, is an isomer of delta-9 THC and is synthesized from cannabidiol (CBD). Users report intense euphoric feelings, heightened relaxation, and an elevated mood, making it a sought-after cannabinoid. It shares a commonality of effect and potency with Delta 10.

HHC:

Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), a lesser-known THC relative, is produced from hemp-derived CBD in a lab. While not technically a THC, it produces very similar effects, and its unique advantages include enhanced stability and resistance to breakdown. Users report a euphoric, long-lasting high, beneficial for energy, focus and mood; with few of the side effects normally experienced alongside THC use. Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that HHC will not appear on traditional panel drug tests, as it does not metabolize in the same way THC does… But further study on the subject is necessary.

THCA:

THCA, the precursor to THC, is abundant in fresh cannabis plants and known for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. It can be obtained by enjoying raw, organically produced cannabis in culinary products such as smoothies, fresh juices or salads. While non-psychoactive, it undergoes decarboxylation into THC, which means that heating THCA will convert it into THC, offering a potent high from smoking or vaping.

THCV/THCP/THCB:

THCV, a relatively rare compound, has effects such as appetite suppression and neuroprotection and is significantly more potent than THC alone. THCP, discovered in 2019, exhibits psychoactive potential surpassing THC by a significant margin. THCB, discovered alongside THCP, shows medicinal promise with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, though further studies are needed on all three minor compounds

In Conclusion:

There are many benefits to hemp-derived cannabinoids and as the industry expands in response to demand, there are an abundance of products to choose from. It is crucial that consumers choose reputable retailers for their hemp-derived THC products, sourced responsibly from from quality manufacturers who can provide third-party lab results, ensuring transparency and product integrity. Here at Beyond Smoke, we pride ourselves on our merchandise quality and informed, educated customer service. Stop by for all your over-the-counter cannabis needs!

How Do THCV and THCA Differ?

In recent years, cannabis research has uncovered a variety of cannabinoids, each with unique effects and potential therapeutic benefits. Among these are THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) and THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid). While they share similarities due to their origins from the cannabis plant, their chemical structures, effects, and uses differ significantly.

Chemical Structure

Both THCV and THCA are cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, but their molecular structures are distinct.

THCA is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). It is primarily found in raw cannabis and is converted to THC through decarboxylation, a process that occurs when cannabis is heated, such as when it is smoked or cooked.

THCV, on the other hand, is a homolog of THC, meaning it has a similar structure but with a slight variation. Specifically, it has an additional two carbon atoms in its molecular chain. This difference affects how each cannabinoid interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system.

Psychoactive Effects

One of the most notable differences between THCV and THCA is their psychoactive properties.

THCA is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the euphoric "high" commonly associated with THC. Instead, THCA is known for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a focus of interest for those seeking the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the intoxicating effects.

THCV, in contrast, can have psychoactive effects, but they are often described as clear-headed and stimulating rather than overwhelming. Some users report that THCV can enhance focus and energy, making it potentially beneficial for those looking to manage their appetite and increase productivity.

Potential Benefits

The therapeutic potential of THCV and THCA cannabis has attracted attention from researchers and consumers alike, with each cannabinoid offering distinct benefits.

THCA has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antiemetic properties. It may help alleviate nausea and vomiting, making it an interesting option for patients undergoing treatments that cause these side effects.

THCV is being researched for its potential effects on appetite suppression, making it a candidate for weight management and metabolic disorders. Additionally, some studies suggest it may help with anxiety and even contribute to blood sugar regulation.

Availability and Consumption

The availability of THCV and THCA varies depending on the cannabis strain and product type.

THCA is typically found in raw cannabis and can be consumed through juicing or using it in salads and smoothies. This method allows users to harness its benefits without the psychoactive effects of THC.

THCV is found in specific cannabis strains, often labeled as "sativa" types. It is available in various forms, including oils, tinctures, and edibles. Users seeking the effects of THCV may look for strains specifically bred for higher THCV concentrations.

Conclusion

In summary, while THCV and THCA are both cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant, they differ significantly in their chemical structures, psychoactive effects, and potential benefits. THCA is non-psychoactive and may offer various therapeutic benefits without the high, making it suitable for those seeking relief without intoxication. THCV, while potentially psychoactive, may provide stimulating effects and benefits related to appetite and metabolism.
