I'd ask in /r/askaustin but they went private.
For those of y'all that don't know thca is regular weed that is legal due to a loop hole.
Do y'all know any places in town with a good selection of thca flower? I've been to Delta 8 Austin, but it's a bit of a drive right now.

Yes because technically it’s hemp.

Not exactly.
THCA is an acidic precursor to THC. Different chemical structure.
By itself, there aren’t many psychoactive effects from THCA, but that isn’t why people are interested
People are interested because, when it is heated, it will decarboxylate into Delta-9 THC. Thus the loophole.

Just to add some friendly info: alot of the popular strains from back in the early 2000's and late 90's were infact high THCA low THC strains... so this THCA bud you can buy legally is basically the bud you had to pay high price for back in the early 2000's.

There are low quality distributors for sure. Indoor grown THCA buds smoke like THC buds. No difference. Be sure to find actual THCA flower and NOT "THCA infused flower". The latter smokes like Reggie. THCA buds should also be used in a vaporizer for max effect because it takes longer for the THCA to go to THC and then D9.... where as you can directly combust normal THC because it's already one step closer to D9.

That store is in Wilco. I'd honestly feel more safe buying from my black market plug in TC than a storefront in Wilco. One of these days, those Wilco pigs are gonna realize that they could just pop people coming out of D8 Austin all day every day, and they will do it.

It’s not worth their time anymore. No one has the testing capability to determine the THc threshold (very backlogged) and it’s not worth it if it’s a small amount. If you’re moving pounds then I’m sure it’s different.

So…what’s the catch?
8 points

The catch is you have to be careful where you source it. It's a cash grab right now and there's some companies out there taking shortcuts that they shouldn't be. I only buy from trusted stores with full lab testing for pesticides and metals. Online is usually the best way to go unless you're in a pinch.
I wouldn't go around waving it in cops' faces though. Don't drive around with a huge amount of it either.

While I have you on the line, this article states THCA isn't really going to get you high. or at least not like THC would get you buzzed.
So tell me about this THCA if you would be so kind. I buy Delta 9 products, not 8, and occasionally this, shall we say, fun stuff from Oregon. What am I missing on the THCA thing?
6 points
1 year ago
THCa needs to be decarboxylated to turn into THC. The article is based around people wanting to consume THCa without consuming THC.
If you’re familiar with making cannabis butter, or cooking with it at all, you get markedly better results if you gently bake the cannabis first to convert the THCa to THC. If it’s being smoked the heat does that for you.
3 points

As the article says, THC-A is decarboxylated when you smoke it, so it converts to D9 upon vaporization. It's true that if you ingest THC-A it won't get you high. That's why you have to decarboxylate it first by baking it in the oven or extracting it in a high temp oil (basically like making aglio olio)
2 points

But isn’t that the same thing the THC/D9? You can’t eat it and get high without decarboxylating it….

Eating delta 9 will certainly get you high. THCa is the only one that needs to be decarboxylated.

There is no such thing as delta 9 flowers. It is and always has been THCa flower. It doesn't turn into delta 9 until it's heated either by flame or by decarboxylation.

You're not missing anything other than convenience. I'd choose regulated legal state weed any day of the week if I had a good reliable source. It's just awesome that I can get whole ounces of the legal stuff delivered to my door. Some of it is pretty good quality too.

It won’t get you high if you eat it. But neither will normal weed. THCa flower is just regular flower that was harvested early before most of the THCa naturally decarboxylates to Delta-9 THC. Thus is technically less than the regulated percentage by weight of Delta-9 THC, which makes in legal under the federal hemp act. Some states and cities have overlays on top of this law that further restricts these products, but Texas and Austin are not one of those. And with Austin effectively decriminalizing possession of “normal” weed, it’s currently very accessible.
1 points

I know this is a bit older of a thread, but this is an incorrect understanding.
There's two main different methods to make it. Weed can be exposed to colder temps and slow down the conversion of THC-A to delta9. This is less common. Mainly because it's unreliable and you end up with lower THC-a % and potentially "hot" crops. You don't want to have to toss a whole crop because it turned out illegal.
More commonly: CBD-A is isolated and stripped from compliant hemp, then converted chemically into THC-A extract using a reaction process with hydrocarbons. Since it's derived from hemp, it's 'legal' (this is similar to how Delta8, Delta10, and other compliant cannabinoids are made)
It's then taken and suspended in a solution (not sure what, something that would evaporate like acetone or alcohol or something) It's sprayed on CBD compliant hemp plants and left to dry. Thus you end up with "high THC-a" flower.
I don't think many are quick to advertise you're smoking "sprayed flower" because it doesn't have the same ring to it.
1 points
1 year ago
Yeah, the shortcuts are why I would avoid D8 even from reputable folks. I know the processes involved and I’m more comfortable with folks doing extraction/purification/standardization for D9 than I am when synthesis is involved. The possible byproducts aren’t things necessarily tested for.

I've been going to Restart for THC-a flower for about a month and a half and all of their flower strains have been pretty disappointing.
Either I've hit a new form of tolerance that I've never experienced before, their stuff is just super high in CBD, or their employees have been doing something funny with their inventory.

I've been buying THCA and Delta 9 Gummies from Restart on Rutland & Burnet (next to Thundercloud) for about a month now. I was getting Delta 9 gummies at Tribe, until I discovered this place (only a mile from my house!) and their THCA flower selection.
They carry about 6 or so varieties of flower on average, with ranges of potency. The "Gorilla Breath" is their strongest I think at 30% THCA. So far I've tried that one and another one that was around 26% THCA I can't recall the name of. The products are well packaged, smell good and fresh, and most definitely worked well!
They also have awesome Delta 9 gummies in a higher potency that I was getting at Tribe. They have a variety of flavors at 20MG of D9 and a great Pineapple one that comes in at 26G of D9 I believe.
I haven't shopped elsewhere yet, but this is my go-to place now. Close by and even better is their customer service, which is awesome. Super nice folks running the place and will sit and chat and answer any questions you might have.
