What is THCa 

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a non-psychoactive compound found in raw cannabis plants. It is the precursor to THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive compound that is responsible for the high associated with marijuana use. THCa is present in raw cannabis plants, while Delta-9-THC is produced when the plant is heated through processes such as smoking, vaporizing, or cooking.

THCa flower is a type of cannabis flower that has high levels of THCa, but relatively low levels of Delta 9 THC. It is often used to make non-psychoactive products such as tinctures, oils, and topicals.

Does THCa flower have any additives like delta 8 flower, THCO flower or HHC flower?

No. THCa flower is regular cannabis, the only thing that changes it from Hemp to Illegal/regulated marijuiana is when the delta-9 THC content exceeds 0.3% on a dry weight basis. This all changed in 2018 when Donald Trump signed the 2018 farm bill.

It's important to note that some strains of cannabis may contain high levels of THCa, even up to 20-30%.
