frequently asked questions
What is THCA flower?
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the precursor to THC found in cannabis and hemp. In its raw form, THCA flower is non-psychoactive — until it’s heated. That’s when it converts to Delta-9 THC, which causes psychoactive effects. Think of THCA as the hops plants used in beer — once fermented, it produces intoxicating properties.
Does THCA flower get you high?
Yes, THCA will get you high. Once heated, THCA becomes psychoactive and produces similar properties to Delta-9 THC. Expect potential effects like relaxation, heightened creativity, and euphoria. The impact of THCA depends on whether it's raw or heated.
Other effects of THCA
Beyond smoking, raw THCA is used in formulations like creams, tinctures, and oils. This form of THCA doesn't trigger a psychoactive reaction, but user research reports effects like pain relief, reducing inflammation, stimulating appetite, and easing nausea.
How to use THCA flower?
Most choose to smoke or vape our exotic THCA flower for fast absorption and rapid elevation. Prerolled joints are the classic method — preserving the plant’s full flavor and aroma.
Other ways to enjoy THCA flower include:
- Glass pieces or bongs
- Dry herb vaporizers
- Cooking or baking
- Infused creams, oils, and tinctures
Storing THCA flower
To preserve your THCA flower, store it in an environment that’s:
- Cool
- Dark
- Dry
- Airtight
Resealable packaging is ideal, but drawers, closets, or stash boxes work just as well. Humidity, heat, and excessive light can all break down or destabilize the compounds in cannabis, causing it to lose its potency and/or flavor over time. Avoid storing your flower outdoors, especially in places like cars or garages.
Is THCA flower legal?
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, THCA is federally legal if it contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC and is derived from hemp. However, several states have stricter laws around THC and related cannabinoids, which may impact the availability of THCA flower for sale.
Before you buy THCA flower — or any cannabis products — check your state's laws regarding hemp-derived cannabinoids and THC. You can visit our Shipping Policy page or product pages to confirm whether our exotic THCA flower can ship to your location.

Will THCA Flower show up on a drug test?
Yes. Most modern drug tests screen for all cannabinoids — not solely THC — so products containing THCA are likely to trigger a positive result. If you have a test coming up, we recommend holding off on Imperial products until it’s complete.
How long does THCA flower stay in your system?
Cannabinoids can stay in your system for several weeks or, in some cases, a few months. How long they remain depends on a range of factors, including body composition, age, frequency of use, and product type.
