What’s everyone’s THCA online vendor?

[Shit Snacks]

It's not a subjective matter.

Well it actually is because nothing here is precise or universal... There are a whole lot of unknowns and I was responding to this question in particular:
"If I vaped THCA flower from one your preferred vendors would I be able to recognize any differences?. A local dispensary advised me to stay away THCA flower because "it is ineffective compared to THC"
This is extremely subjective...

Just because you haven't found anything as good as your usual sources doesn't mean it's a different substance. It is possible to produce and sell shitty weed. Shitty weed is still weed.

That's actually not even what I said, I never said anything about being as good as any "usual source"... I didn't say anything about it being a different substance either...
Please leave me alone

I never said anything about being as good as any "usual source"

Well you were comparing it to something when you said this:

I don't consider it necessarily as full spectrum

didn't say anything about a difference substance either

These quotes suggest you still don't understand that all flower is THC-A flower:

I don't consider it necessarily as full spectrum

That local dispensary might even have THCA flower themselves

Some people don't seem to notice a difference

There are a whole lot of unknowns

Like what?

I was responding to this question in particular:
"If I vaped THCA flower from one your preferred vendors would I be able to recognize any differences?. A local dispensary advised me to stay away THCA flower because "it is ineffective compared to THC"

Subjectivity only comes into play here because no 2 batches of weed are the same. Nobody can notice a difference just because one is labeled THC-A flower and one isn't.

These quotes suggest you still don't understand that all cannabis flower that gets you high is THC-A flower

Sorry I was suggesting the person at that dispensary who claimed THCA flower was bad probably had some right there without realizing... These replies seem to suggest you don't understand the meaning of please leave me alone (you're not the first to share this point here in this way and I'm over it)

Mod Note: Not Nice. Warning point issued.

"Probably"? You're still not getting it. And only one of those three quotes was pertaining to the dispensary.

These replies seem to suggest you don't understand the meaning of please leave me alone

Why should I leave you alone? You're spreading misinformation on a public forum. As long as you continue doing that I'm going to continue correcting it.

(you're not the first to share this point here in this way and I'm over it)

That's why I'm wondering why it needs to be repeated so many times. You seem to be in every THCA thread saying the same thing, and there are multiple people telling you exactly why you're wrong in every one. This is really very simple and easy to understand stuff, yet you move to the next thread to keep telling people it isn't the same and is "less full spectrum".

I see someone who is expressing opinion and then someone who doesn't know when to stop.

I also think you are incorrect, in that some cannabis/hemp is handled/cultivated differently, in order to keep THC below .3% legal limit.
It may be, technically, biologically "the same" (though that may even be a misnomer) but often harvested earlier and dried/cured differently. That will produce a product with different characteristics, flavor profile, and in some ways, effect. And sometimes a harsh smoke/vape. Theses are all part of the "spectrum" of effects that some experienced users can discern, while a lot of folks just get high.

I have purchased online THC-A flower twice and been unhappy, actually thrown it in the trash because of harshness and taste. Some rosin I bought was kinda nice...

I mainly want to point out that there are some fine-line distinctions.

From a quick google I landed on this, emphasis near the end is mine.
These growers, in the same article, say that there is no difference, then they explain the slight difference;

What Makes THC and THCA Flowers Different?​

There is a slight difference, but this mainly concerns the cultivation process. In order for a cannabis strain to be considered “THCA” aka legal hemp flower, it needs to contain less than 0.3% THC. Traditional growing practices will typically yield strains that contain upwards of 2-3% THC, which is above the federal limit. To clarify, most cannabis strains contain 15-30% THCA and 2-3% THC. So what we look for as cultivators is the THCA percentage. The higher the THCA percentage, the more potent the flower. As long as we keep the THC percentage from exceeding 0.3%, it can be sold as legal hemp flower,, while still providing the classic euphoric experience that all cannabis consumers know and love. At Hemp Generation, we have perfected the art of breeding each variety to maximize their strengths while staying within the legal limits.

Crafting Artisanal THC Flowers​

We carefully nurture each strain for its tailored cannabinoid expression. Using traditional and hydroponic techniques, our farmers provide premium genetics and a nurturing environment for the plants to thrive.

For our THCA flowers, harvest comes early to prevent excess THC accumulation, keeping levels below the legal 0.3% threshold. To craft artisanal THC flowers, we allow more maturation first. Either way, expect exceptional quality.

but often harvested earlier and dried/cured differently

It doesn't need to be harvested earlier or dried or cured differently. It only needs to be tested early enough (before it's been curing for months). Early harvested and/or poorly dried/cured bud is a common problem with commercially produced cannabis in general.

Traditional growing practices will typically yield strains that contain upwards of 2-3% THC

That's not true at all. 2-3% is WAY too high and I would never buy flower with that amount of delta-9 in it.

For our THCA flowers, harvest comes early to prevent excess THC

They're saying this so they can sell off their early harvested garbage to people who don't know that isn't actually necessary.

I have purchased online THC-A flower twice and been unhappy, actually thrown it in the trash because of harshness and taste. Some rosin I bought was kinda nice...

So you have very little experience. How do you think they created "nice" rosin out of harsh, bad tasting flower? That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense does it?

To clarify, 3 of the 4 quotes above, that now appear, among other things, to be you calling me a liar ("that's not true at all") are misrepresentations. You are arguing with the information from hempgeneration.com.
Yes, I cut and pasted it, guilty of that, but thanks to your post for making it appear otherwise.

To answer the last part would just be more arguing, no thanks!

What are you talking about? I never called you a liar. I never implied that the information was your own. You made it very clear that you copied and pasted that from hempgeneration. Stop being ridiculous.

"Probably"? You're still not getting it. And only one of those three quotes was pertaining to the dispensary.

You're not getting it either, you can't possibly know that it is certainly and not probably, you're not there, you're not testing everything, you're making assumptions based on the info you have and your own knowledge/beliefs... My entire post was pertaining to that and my opinion broadly, I'm not responding to everything you say

Why should I leave you alone? You're spreading misinformation on a public forum. As long as you continue doing that I'm going to continue correcting it.

Basic human decency? Arguably so are you... I'm sharing an opinion, and is portrayed clearly as such... You're not going to change my mind, especially this way, You're just being redundant and imo disrespectful, not corrective or constructive.

That's why I'm wondering why it needs to be repeated so many times.

It doesn't, you need to learn when to quit.

there are multiple people telling you exactly why you're wrong in every one. This is really very simple and easy to understand stuff, yet you move to the next thread to keep telling people it isn't the same and is "less full spectrum".

There's also multiple people with the opposite opinion, for example another person who was rudely telling me the same thing as you, and others sharing their experience elsewhere too, helped me see that perspective a little more, but I still have my own opinions based on my own experience and knowledge, and yes several others' opinions and experience as well...

(like I don't agree with that bud tender at the dispensary saying THCA is garbage and only what they have is good, I suggested what they have probably also includes THCA etc, so I'm supporting that argument, but I don't know for sure, I couldn't, is the point too)

Agreed very simple and easy to understand stuff, yet you keep demanding your views be accepted by everyone else, when you couldn't possibly actually know for sure everything exactly everywhere

 

[hotmeals]

you can't possibly know that it is certainly and not probably

Yes I can, because that's what weed is. The only weed that is "THC weed" is weed that has been fully decarbed. Or I could understand >50% decarbed being considered "THC weed" also. Either way not something that would be pleasant to vape.

Arguably so are you...

Make the argument then. What did I say that was wrong and why was it wrong?

I still have my own opinions based on my own experience

Your experience is similar to "I drank a Bud Light and a Busch Light once and didn't like them, so Czech Pilsners can't be good, because light beer isn't good, according to the Bud and Busch Light that I drank". You're allowed to have that opinion, but people with real experience are going to strongly and adamantly disagree with you. Even this analogy is not that amazing because it makes it sound like THCA weed is some sort of "weed light" or something, when it's really just normal weed.

your views

They're not "views", they're facts.

Continuing to argue and insult after being warned has now earned you a three day vacation from FC. Please take this time to read the rules and consider them.

OK, back to the topic at hand.

Has anyone ordered THCa hemp online that they thought was equivalent or better in quality than good dispensary marijuana in both flavor and effects?

Really just curious because I've never seen any T2 pricing that compared to legal marijuana here.

I've ordered both Type 2 and Type 3 a couple of times, but only T2 with modest THCa. The T3 (high CBD, insignificant THCa) from Horn Creek has been excellent, I still have fairly old Pineapple Kush that smells delicious and it is highly (but no high!) recommended. The T2 from a different vendor was decidedly meh in flavor, appearance & effects.

I have ordered a bunch from lucky elk. Might be worth a shot. Great rosin.
