Starter pack - THCA

All of Tealerlab’s products comply with the Farm Bill and are legally permitted to ship to most U.S. states. To be compliant and hold our products to the highest standards, we work with licensed growers who operate in accordance with state, tribal, and federal law. We also rigorously test and monitor every cannabis product available on our website with third-party labs to confirm each meets regulatory and quality standards.

Delta 9 THCa is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid in the cannabis plant. It is the acid variation of the famous cannabinoid D9 THC. Raw THCa is non-psychoactive. However, when heated, THCa converts to THC. This change is what delivers the intense and euphoric psychoactive effects of traditional cannabis.
Harvested THCa flower is federally legal if the lab test proves it is below the 0.3% D9 THC limit. Even in recreational or illegal flower, THCa is the primary cannabinoid, and the D9 THC can range somewhere between 0.4% to 1.0%. For example, a strain with 20% THCa and 0.2% D9 THC in its harvested buds is federally legal and protected under the Farm Bill.

In the USA, the legality of THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) depends on whether it is derived from hemp or marijuana. THCa derived from hemp containing less than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. However, THCa derived from marijuana, which contains higher levels of THC, is illegal federally and regulated by state laws. Some states have specific regulations that may restrict or allow THCa regardless of its source. It’s essential to check local and state laws, as they can vary significantly and are subject to change. Consulting legal resources or authorities can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.


Tealerlab only sells products that comply with the 2018 Farm Bill’s specification of “containing less than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis”.

Botanically speaking, both “hemp” and “marijuana” are “cannabis sativa l”. They are the same plant, but there is a subtle legal difference between hemp and marijuana. Under the Agricultural Act of 2018, also known as the “2018 Farm Bill”, legal hemp is cannabis with no more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC on a dry weight basis. Cannabis with Delta 9 THC above 0.3% is illegal marijuana. For example, a strain testing at 25% THCa and 0.1% Delta 9 THC is still classified as legal hemp even though it would provide THC effects if consumed after heating.

How do I know if a hemp product contains more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC?
The answer is, it depends.

The good news is, when you order from tealerlab you can do so with confidence. Why? Because we have partnered with an independent third-party lab to test all our hemp products. Also, all of our hemp products are Farm Bill compliant. You can check our Lab Reports page. When reviewing the Certificate of Analysis (COA), look for the Mass % column to see the detected cannabinoids in that test.

On the other hand, when you buy hemp products from somewhere else there might not be tests, their tests might not be authentic, or from an independent third-party lab. In other words, you’ll be taking an unnecessary chance.

The issue of quality and strength is one of the biggest concerns facing cannabis consumers because not all hemp is created equal. As a consumer, you’re taking an unnecessary risk when you purchase hemp products from less reputable brands and retailers. In the eyes of the law, it is your responsibility to research hemp products before you purchase and consume them. So when you order from tealerlab that research is as simple and easy as a couple of clicks.

Yes, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis and is responsible for producing the “high” or euphoric sensation typically associated with marijuana use. When consumed, THC interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the brain and nervous system, altering neurotransmitter release and resulting in changes to sensory perception, mood, and cognition. The intensity and duration of the high depend on factors such as the dose, method of consumption (smoking, vaping, edibles), and individual tolerance. While THC offers recreational effects, it also has potential therapeutic benefits, including pain relief, nausea reduction, and appetite stimulation, which are utilized in medical cannabis treatments.

Using THC products can lead to a positive result on a drug test designed to detect cannabis use. Most drug tests screen for THC metabolites in urine, blood, or saliva, which can remain detectable for days to weeks after use, depending on factors like frequency of use, dosage, metabolism, and body fat percentage. Even small amounts of THC from products like marijuana, hashish, or THC-infused edibles can trigger a positive result. To avoid failing a drug test, individuals subject to testing should abstain from using THC products or choose products with lower THC levels, such as CBD-dominant options or THC-free formulations.

In the world of cannabis, this is a foundational topic. THCa and THC are related but in key ways they are more different than they are the same.

THCa, short for Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid, is essentially the raw form of THC. It is found in fresh, unheated cannabis plants. The key property of raw THCa is that it won’t get you high. However, if you subject it to heat, like when you smoke it or bake it into brownies, THCa will undergo a transformation, shedding its acidic nature to become THC. THC, as many already know, is the compound that does trigger a psychoactive reaction in the body.

Ultimately, this means there are applications (e.g., health and wellness related treatments) where THCa is ideal because it’s not psychoactive, just as there are applications where THC is better suited because it does produce a euphoric effect. That is, THC will get you high, as will THCa if add heat (to transform it into THC).

THCa Rosin is a concentrate that is extracted from the resinous trichomes of the cannabis plant. Trichomes grow on the surface of the cannabis plant’s leaves and flowers. These tiny hair-like structures contain the plant’s terpenes cannabinoids.

Using both heat and pressure, THCa rosin is extracted from the plant without decarboxylation. The result of the extraction process is a butter-like concentrate that is free of solvents, chemicals, or additives. This rosin can be consumed in several different ways. You can dab it, vape it, add it to your bong bowl, blunts or joints, or even via edibles.

You probably already know that THCa is non-psychoactive. But once you treat it with heat, it converts to THC, and THC is what produces the “high” feeling.’’

Cannabinoids represent a diverse array of chemical compounds inherent to the Cannabis sativa plant, Most commonly known as just cannabis. These compounds engage with cannabinoid receptors dispersed throughout the body and brain, eliciting effects akin to those induced by the cannabis plant itself.

Cannabinoids can be categorized into three primary classes:

- Phytocannabinoids – These compounds derive from the cannabis plant and encompass well-known substances like THC (Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). Over a hundred distinct phytocannabinoids have been discovered, each manifesting unique interactions with the human body’s central nervous system.
- Endocannabinoids – These naturally synthesized compounds within the body play a pivotal role in the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Examples include anandamide and 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG). They serve as intercellular messengers regulating critical functions such as mood, memory, sleep, and appetite.
- Synthetic cannabinoids – These artificially produced substances are engineered to replicate the effects of natural cannabinoids. While often employed in research and medical contexts, they also present risks of abuse and adverse reactions.
Cannabinoids exert their influence by binding to cannabinoid receptors distributed across the central nervous system and other bodily systems. The predominant receptor types are CB1 and CB2. Cannabinoids’ effects can vary based on the specific receptors engaged and the neural circuits activated. For instance, cannabinoids may impact memory, cognition, mood, pain perception, and appetite.

Beyond THC and CBD, cannabinoids like CBG (cannabigerol), CBC (cannabichromene), and CBN (cannabinol) also contribute to cannabis’ overall effects. Many believe cannabinoids have potential for therapeutic applications across various medical conditions. However, at this time, further formal scientific investigation is warranted to prove or refute the reputation that precedes cannabinoids.

CBD, also called cannabidiol, is a phytocannabinoid that naturally occurs in the hemp plant. Hemp flower contains many cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that all contribute to inducing uplifting and relaxing effects. Because CBD products can contain minimal amounts of THC, one can experience the benefits of hemp without the overwhelming intensity of high THC products. CBD’s effect impacts both the mind and body, and for many users improves the quality of their lives.

CBD, or cannabidiol, and CBN, cannabinol, are both cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Each has distinct characteristics and potential benefits.

CBD has gained widespread attention for its non-intoxicating properties and potential therapeutic effects. It renowned for its versatile applications, and is often touted for its ability to alleviate symptoms associated with various health-related conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, and epilepsy. Its non-psychoactive nature has made it a popular choice among consumers seeking natural remedies without the “high” typically associated with cannabis use.

On the other hand, CBN, though currently less researched, is emerging as a compound of interest in health-related research. It has garnered attention for its potential sedative properties. Initial research seems to indicate it has a positive effect on relaxation and sleep. While CBD is derived directly from the cannabis plant, CBN forms as a byproduct of THC degradation, typically through exposure to heat and light.

Further research is necessary on the therapeutic potential and underlying biological mechanisms of both CBD and CBN. As cannabinoid research continues, these compounds continue to hold promise as options for therapeutic intervention to various medical conditions.

Yes, CBD products have effects but they’re not as euphoric and intense as THC. Smoking CBD flower grants uplifting and relaxing effects, and in high doses it can produce powerful effects that can certainly be discerned as a “high”. The effects that CBD offers are more mild and balanced than THC, and CBD generally doesn’t pose the risk of feeling paranoid or anxious like THC can- it is because of these factors that some people prefer CBD over THC.

Using pure CBD products is unlikely to cause you to fail a drug test, as standard drug tests typically screen for THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. However, some CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC due to less rigorous manufacturing processes. Full-spectrum CBD products, which include all cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, may have low levels of THC. Even these small amounts could potentially accumulate in your system over time and result in a positive test. To minimize this risk, opt for CBD isolates or broad-spectrum CBD products that are labeled as THC-free. Also, always purchase from reputable sources that provide third-party lab testing to ensure product purity and content.

In the human body, CBD operates by engaging with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). ECS is a key player in maintaining homeostasis. CBD exerts its effects by targeting the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the ECS. These two types of receptors are vital for transmitting messages to the brain and regulating a myriad of biological and physiological processes. These include but are not limited to:

Pain management
Inflammation regulation
Sleep modulation
Mood stabilization
Digestion facilitation
and more.

Furthermore, beyond the ECS, CBD also interacts with other receptors and non-receptor proteins in the body. This enables CBD to influence various molecular pathways, enhancing or inhibiting the binding action of certain receptors and delaying the “re-uptake” of endogenous neurotransmitters. Such interactions contribute to the spectrum of therapeutic effects attributed to CBD.

Regarding duration, the effects of CBD can vary depending on factors such as dosage, administration method, and individual metabolism. Typically, the effects of CBD can be short-lived or last up to several hours, with some studies suggesting effects may persist for up to 24 hours in certain individuals. Additionally, the duration CBD stays in the body can vary, with estimates ranging from a few days to a week or more, depending on factors such as frequency of use and individual metabolism.
