Legal Disclaimers-THCa

What is THCa Hemp Flower?

 

THCa hemp flower refers to cannabis buds with delta-9 THC levels that do not exceed 0.3% by dry weight but contain high levels of THCa.

 

What is THCa?

 

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in cannabis. On its own, THCa is non-intoxicating. However, when exposed to heat, light, or time, it can convert into delta-9 THC, the psychoactive compound responsible for intoxication. This process, known as decarboxylation, occurs when THCa flower is smoked or vaped.

 

Can Smoking or Vaping THCa Hemp Flower Cause Intoxication?

 

Yes, smoking or vaping THCa hemp flower can cause intoxication due to the conversion of THCa into delta-9 THC. While individual experiences may vary, consumers should be informed of the potential for a “high.” We do not recommend selling THCa hemp flower to minors.

 

Will Using THCa Hemp Flower Result in a Failed Drug Test?

 

Yes. THCa hemp flower contains cannabinoids, including THC, which may result in a positive drug test. Those subject to drug testing should avoid using this product.

 

Is THCa Hemp Flower Legal Under Federal Law?

 

Yes. The 2018 Farm Bill defines legal hemp based on its delta-9 THC content, not its THCa levels. As long as harvested cannabis contains no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight, it qualifies as legal hemp under federal law. The Controlled Substances Act also removes hemp from the definition of marijuana, meaning it is not classified as a controlled substance federally.

 

What Does the DEA Say About THCa Hemp Flower?

 

The DEA has stated that cannabis material containing no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis qualifies as legal hemp. This definition includes THCa hemp flower.

 

Have Any Federal Courts Ruled on THCa Hemp Flower?

 

No federal court has ruled specifically on THCa hemp flower. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed that delta-9 THC concentration is the key legal metric for distinguishing legal hemp from controlled marijuana.

 

Is THCa Hemp Flower Legal in All States?

 

No. State laws vary. Some states regulate hemp based on total THC (a calculation that includes both THCa and delta-9 THC), which may make THCa hemp flower illegal in certain jurisdictions. If you are unsure of your state’s regulations, consult a legal professional before purchasing or selling THCa hemp flower.

 

Can THCa Hemp Flower Be Shipped Across State Lines?

 

Yes. Federal law protects the interstate transportation of hemp and hemp products, including THCa hemp flower. However, while states cannot prohibit transportation through their borders, some have restrictions on possession and sale within their jurisdiction.

 

Can THCa Hemp Flower Be Smoked in Public or Kept Open in a Vehicle?

 

Due to legal uncertainties and variations in state laws, we do not recommend smoking THCa hemp flower in public or keeping an open package in a vehicle. To minimize legal risks, THCa hemp flower should be stored in sealed, labeled packaging indicating its compliance with federal law.

 

How Can You Verify the Legality of THCa Hemp Flower?

 

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) provides lab-tested cannabinoid levels, including delta-9 THC content. Always review a COA to ensure compliance with federal and state laws before purchasing or selling THCa hemp flower.

 

How Should THCa Hemp Flower Be Stored?

 

To maintain compliance and product integrity, THCa hemp flower should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Exposure to heat or light can cause decarboxylation, increasing delta-9 THC levels and potentially making the product non-compliant with federal law.

Legal Disclaimers-CBD

What is CBD Flower?

 

CBD flower refers to hemp buds that contain high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) while maintaining a delta-9 THC concentration of no more than 0.3% by dry weight. Unlike marijuana, CBD flower does not produce an intoxicating effect and is federally classified as hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill.

 

What is CBD?

 

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in hemp. It is non-intoxicating and has gained popularity for its potential wellness benefits. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a “high,” making it a favored option for those seeking relaxation without psychoactive effects.

 

Will CBD Flower Get Users High?

 

No, CBD flower does not cause intoxication. However, individual experiences may vary. While CBD is non-psychoactive, hemp flower contains trace amounts of THC (under 0.3%), which is not enough to produce a “high” but could have mild effects depending on the user.

 

Will Using CBD Flower Cause a Failed Drug Test?

 

Possibly. While CBD itself is not tested for in standard drug screenings, hemp flower contains trace amounts of THC, which may accumulate in the body and result in a positive test. If you are subject to drug testing, consult with your employer or testing administrator before using CBD flower.

 

Is CBD Flower Legal Under Federal Law?

 

Yes. The 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized hemp and its derivatives, including CBD flower, as long as they contain no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. This means that CBD flower is legal at the federal level; however, state laws vary.

 

Is CBD Flower Legal in Every State?

 

Not necessarily. While federally legal, some states have restrictions on the sale, possession, or use of hemp flower. Some states may require specific labeling, licensing, or testing. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with your state’s regulations before purchasing or possessing CBD flower.

 

Can CBD Flower Be Shipped Across State Lines?

 

Yes. Federal law allows for the interstate transport of hemp and hemp-derived products, including CBD flower. However, since state laws vary, it is important to check local regulations before ordering or shipping CBD flower to a specific location.

 

Can CBD Flower Be Smoked in Public or Kept Open in a Vehicle?

 

Because CBD flower resembles traditional cannabis in appearance and aroma, law enforcement may not distinguish between the two. We do not recommend smoking CBD flower in public or carrying an open container in a vehicle. Always store CBD flower in a sealed package and comply with local laws regarding possession and consumption.

 

How Can You Verify the Quality and Legality of CBD Flower?

 

To ensure compliance with federal law, always check the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for any CBD flower product. A COA is a lab report verifying cannabinoid content, including delta-9 THC levels. Elk Creek Genetics provides lab-tested COAs for all our products, ensuring transparency and compliance.

 

How Should You Store CBD Flower?

 

CBD flower should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain its potency and freshness. Exposure to heat, light, or humidity may degrade cannabinoids over time. Proper storage helps preserve the quality and effectiveness of your CBD flower.

Legal Disclaimers-Rosin

How Does Rosin Adhere to THCa Guidelines?

 

1. THCa Content & Legal Compliance

• Our rosin is extracted from hemp flower that contains no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight, aligning with federal guidelines.

• While THCa is non-intoxicating in its raw form, it can convert to delta-9 THC through decarboxylation (exposure to heat or time). This is the same process that occurs when smoking or dabbing THCa flower.

2. DEA & Federal Acknowledgment of THCa Hemp

• As outlined in our THCa Flower Disclaimer, the DEA has confirmed that hemp is legally defined by its delta-9 THC content, not THCa levels.

• Since rosin is a concentrate derived from legally compliant THCa flower, it retains this same classification as long as it remains below the federal threshold of 0.3% delta-9 THC at the time of testing.

3. Lab Testing & Certificates of Analysis (COA)

• All Elk Creek Genetics rosin is third-party lab tested to ensure it meets federal hemp compliance.

• We provide Certificates of Analysis (COAs) with each batch, verifying that our rosin meets legal THCa guidelines at the time of distribution.

4. State Laws & Considerations

• While federally compliant, some states regulate THCa and hemp-derived concentrates differently. Certain jurisdictions calculate “Total THC” (including a portion of THCa in addition to delta-9 THC) to determine legality.

• Before purchasing, check your local laws regarding THCa concentrates and consult a legal professional if necessary.

 

Storage & Handling

 

• To preserve compliance and product quality, store your rosin in a cool, dark, and airtight container.

• Exposure to heat and light may accelerate THCa decarboxylation, potentially altering delta-9 THC levels over time.

 

Legal Disclaimer

 

This information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Federal and state laws vary, and regulations regarding hemp-derived THCa products may change. By purchasing Elk Creek Genetics rosin, you acknowledge that you are responsible for understanding the legal status of THCa products in your state.
