What Is THCA and How It Can Get You High

Why THCa Can Be Legal — and Still Get You High

THCa products are federally legal when derived from hemp that contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, as defined by the 2018 Farm Bill.

Wheediez sources hemp-derived THCa that meets federal requirements before heating. That’s the legal line.

But once you light it, vape it, or apply heat, you’re no longer consuming THCa—you’re consuming THC.

That’s why THCa flower feels identical to traditional cannabis when smoked. The law looks at the product before heat. Your body experiences it after.

How You Use THCa Determines the Experience

• Raw or unheated: No intoxication

• Smoked or vaped: Fully psychoactive

• Heated accidentally (hot storage, long exposure): Gradual conversion can occur

THCa is unique because usage determines effect. No other cannabinoid changes its identity this dramatically.

One Important Reminder

THCa products can still:

• Produce intoxicating effects once heated

• Trigger a positive drug test

• Be restricted depending on state laws

Always use responsibly and know your local regulations.
