Collection: Legal THC Flower

Dry herb sold online that can be shipped directly to your door? Say less! Legal THC flower is totally underestimated since it can provide the same experience as the “real” stuff, taste similar to your typical flower, and will get you totally baked. Just skip the part where you have to drive to the dispensary, deal with hipster budtenders, and take out cash (who uses cash anymore anyway?).

Which Delta THC variant is best for you?

New to all things Delta THC? Not to worry. In the world of cannabis, things are constantly evolving and we love to stay up-to-date on the latest trends, products, and brands so you don’t have to!

Delta 8

One of the most common hemp cannabinoids is Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, referred to as Delta 8. It’s found in trace amounts naturally, so to produce Delta 8 at the commercial level, brands use CBD and chemically convert it to the Delta THC of preference. Delta 8 flower is said to have indica-like effects that are relaxing and sedating. Delta 8 is more potent than Delta 10, but roughly 40% less potent than Delta 9 (normal THC).

THC-A

Delta 9, the THC you know and love, starts out as THC-A, which is its acid version. Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid is non-psychoactive and will not get you high until it is decarboxylated. That means THC-A flower requires heating to activate via lighting a bong bowl, joint, or blunt, or by baking it in the oven to create THC-A edibles. Once decarbed, THC-A becomes “regular” THC and has potency that is similar to your average dry herb.

Hemp flower buyers guide

The options look seemingly endless when it comes to choosing legal THC flower, especially if you don’t know much about the wild world of minor cannabinoids, but there are quick ways to narrow down the options. At EF420, we only provide tried and true THC-A flower and other alternative cannabinoid products, plus we supply you with the lab tests as well, so you don’t have to go scouring the interwebs. But if you’d like a little guidance, skim our hemp flower buyers guide:

Choosing a flower strain

Of course you know about indica, sativa, and hybrid strains when it comes to normal dry herb, but when talking about Delta 8 flower and other minor cannabinoids, it can get complicated. This is because CBD hemp flower on its own is non-psychoactive. It is soaked in Delta 8 isolate or distillate to create a euphoric effect and give the hemp flower potency. This means the hemp flower strain you choose doesn’t matter as much as it does in terms of producing different effects like it does when picking out a normal dry herb strain. The cannabis strain comes into play because it still offers unique terpene profiles, flavors, and scents. For the difference in effects, read up on the various types of Delta THC since they are known to have their own specific nuances that are not based on strain type.

Read up on potency

Like we mentioned earlier, legal THC flower has different potency levels than your regular dry herb. In order from weakest to strongest you have: Delta 10, Delta 8, HHC, THC-A, Delta 9 (normal bud). However, potency isn’t everything. Remember that different minor cannabinoids have different effects. Some are more sativa-like and others have more indica heavy effects. It’s also important to note that legal THC compounds may affect you differently than typical THC, so always start out slowly, even if you’re a seasoned toker of regular herb.

Pick a reputable brand and check out the lab tests

Delta THC products such as flower, vape carts, extracts, and gummies are made through chemical processes that typically convert CBD to the alternative cannabinoid of choice. This production process is not regulated by the FDA, so it’s important to choose legal hemp products from reputable cannabis brands that undergo third party lab testing. These labs test for residual chemical solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, cannabinoid makeup, potency, and more. This ensures the final products are high quality, safe, and are labeled accurately. At EF420, we’re all about transparency and quality.

How is Delta flower made?

The bud itself is 100% natural, legally compliant hemp that does not have any psychoactive effects on its own (i.e. if you smoke hemp flower by itself you will not get high). Alternative cannabinoid distillate or isolate such as Delta 8, HHC, and THC-A are then sprayed over the nugs to give it mind-altering effects similar to Delta 9 THC. The reason there is no such thing as high Delta flower is because all of these alternative cannabinoids are found in very, very small amounts in nature. Instead of extracting these trace compounds from thousands of plants, scientists have discovered how to chemically transform CBD into other cannabinoids like THC-A or Delta 8, which is more cost-effective at the commercial level.

Don’t forget to also add some smoking accessories like rolling papers or a glass bong to your cart so you have everything you need for a relaxing smoke session when your THCA flower arrives!
