What THCA flower is
THCA flower is cannabis flower sold on the basis of low delta-9 THC while containing substantial THCA.
Why classification differs by measure
Under a delta-9-only measure such material may test under the threshold. Under a total THC measure it may not. Rules and their application have changed over time.
Evidence that matters
- Which measure the applicable rule uses
- COAs and whether they report total THC
- When and how the material was tested
- Storage and handling after seizure
A note on changing law
Hemp and marijuana definitions have been amended over time at the federal level and differ by state. Which definition applies depends on the date, the jurisdiction and the product, and is a question for counsel.
