THCA products are completely inactive until they’re exposed to heat (such as smoking, vaping, or baking). Once activated, THCA interacts with the endocannabinoid system to exert mind-altering effects with roughly twice the potency of our popular delta-8 lineup.

Yes, THCA products derived from hemp are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill as long as they contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight.

These hemp-derived THCA products, including our high THCA hemp flower, are processed legally in accordance with federal regulations.

With that said, it’s essential to check your local laws as regulations may vary by state. Area 52 ensures compliance with all relevant laws and closely monitors state-specific guidelines, which may result in restricted sales in certain areas.

THCA itself is non-psychoactive, but when heated, it converts to THC, which is psychoactive. Thus, you can experience a high from products like THCA vapes and pre-rolls. Start with a lower dose to gauge your tolerance.

Area 52 THCA products can be used in various ways:

• Flower — Smoke it in joints, bongs, or pipes; vaporize it in a dry herb vape, or bake it into your favorite THC edibles.
• Pre-Rolls — Ready-to-smoke right out of the box. Take one out, light up, and blast off.
• Vape Carts — Attach to a compatible 510-threaded vape pen and inhale.
• Disposable Vape Pens — Turn on the power and start inhaling. The internal draw detector handles everything for a seamless experience.

Yes, using THCA products can cause you to fail a drug test.

When THCA is heated, it converts into THC. This THC is then converted by the liver into THC-COOH which can be detected in blood, urine, hair, and saliva samples.

Most standard drug tests will find evidence of THC-COOH from anybody consuming high-THCA cannabis products, even though THCA itself is non-psychoactive and unregulated.

No, we don’t sell THCA gummies because they don’t have any effects without being heated first.

However, we do offer active (and Farm Bill compliant) THC gummies, including our Delta-8 Gummies, UFO Max Gummies, and Magic Pluto Mushroom Gummies for those seeking the mind-altering effects of cannabis.

We also carry functional cannabinoid gummies, such as our Neptune Sleep Gummies, Mars Energy Gummies, and Moon Calm Gummies.

We carry 3 premium strains each for our THCA flower, THCA pre-rolls, and THCA vapes:

• Area 52 THCA Flower — Zoap (Hybrid), Yaaas Betch (Hybrid), Lemon Cherry (Indica)
• Area 52 THCA Pre-Rolls — Pineapple Orange (Sativa), Blueberry OG (Hybrid), Huckleberry X Bubble Gum OG (Indica)
• Area THCA Vapes — Berry Gelato (Hybrid), Super Sour Diesel (Sativa)

The main difference between THCA, delta-9, and delta-8 THC is in their potency and legal status.

THCA is non-psychoactive in its raw form and requires heat to convert into psychoactive THC. Delta-8 THC is less potent than delta-9 but is preferred by those who want a more mellow and relaxing experience.

THCA hemp is legal under federal law, while delta-9 THC products are more restricted. THCA flower refers to unheated buds that need to be activated, unlike ready-to-consume delta-9 and delta-8 cannabis products, which are active in edible form.

At Area 52, we take hemp production seriously. Extracting THCA is complex, and if done incorrectly, it can lead to contamination or illegal levels of delta-9 THC that could land you in trouble.

Our experienced team ensures a professional level of precision and safety by employing state-of-the-art production equipment and testing all products both in-house and through independent, third-party labs.

That’s why we’re the go-to source for THCA, delta-9 THC, delta-8, CBD, and other hemp-derived cannabinoid products for over six thousand customers every month.

THCA is sensitive to degradation if exposed to heat, light, and air. Proper storage ensures your THCA products maintain their potency and freshness as long as possible.

• Storing THCA Flower — Store THCA flower in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to protect the, from losing their potency. Exposure to heat and light could prematurely convert THCA into THC and CBN.
• Storing THCA Pre-Rolls — Keep your THCA pre-rolls in a resealable, airtight container away from direct sunlight. We recommend keeping them in the resealable container they arrive in.
• Storing THCA Vapes — Store THCA vapes in a cool, dry place to avoid any degradation of the oil. Store your vapes in a standing position to reduce the chances of clogging.

All our THCA vapes are made with high-quality CCELL carts, which are intentionally designed to prevent clogging. However, if vapes are stored incorrectly or left unused for several months, they may form small crystals that can clog the flow of vapor.

To fix this issue, simply heat them up with a blowdryer to redissolve the crystals. Allow the device to cool before turning it on to avoid damaging the battery.
