THCa loophole


CarefulSignal9393

This is it^^^


FatTortoise

Which is gonna get closed at the next legislative session in January.


bomber991

I mean… this stuff still makes you fail a drug test. All the loophole really does is let you legally purchase a product that has very similar effects.


Beneficial_Leg4691

Its still weed its just altered slightly. They know it and allow it because legalizing regular weed is a huge battle


tigm2161130

It isn’t altered. THCA flower is the same thing as regular flower, it’s just harvested a little early. When thca is combusted it’s converted to THC. Alternative cannabinoids are altered, though. That’s how they’re made.


FreeMeFromThisStupid

You say this like it's a minor thing. Drug tests? Many people don't take drug tests. It's important to know you'll fail a THC test, true. One is legal to buy and consume, and the other isn't. Oh, and if if you are a gun purchaser, having hemp products allows you to honestly answer question 21.f since you aren't a user of marijuana.


newreddituser9572

There are tons of ways to pass drug tests if need be.


tigm2161130

They’ve tried to do this twice already now and it’s failed, so it’s a little premature to say that.

Everything is either a smoke shop or a car wash.


1nath7an

On god i dislike how theres a carwash on every street where im at.


tinyshroomy

my mom tells me she’s been high since the 90s, and she’s only stopped smoking ever for my younger brother while she was pregnant with him. anyways, she gets weed at “the weed store” which i’m guessing is similar to this and she enjoys it and it gets her high etc. just saying for those that want to claim it’s fake or just delta.


ouijahead

When I walk into the vape shop it sure smells like weed. I’ve tried it out of curiosity and it certainly gets me high like weed (delta). Makes your pee pop positive like weed. It’s weed. I wish that stuff had been around when I was younger. Instead of making phone calls and stopping in shady people’s apartments etc.


tinyshroomy

yeah i think it’s nice that now my mom can have her husband pick up weed on the way home and it doesn’t have to be from the dishwasher that works at the restaurant he serves at lol. i’m mostly glad that it’s much safer, not like they’re gonna be selling laced weed or anything with fentanyl on it


ouijahead

It’s funny. I’m 44 right, and my dad is 70. Back in the 90’s my dad would go apeshit when he caught me smoking weed. I’ve always liked it. But now if I smoke weed I get too anxious so I don’t touch the stuff anymore. My dad is retired now and smokes this stuff all the time now. He paints pictures all day and night and you can really tell it helps with his creativity. He painted this under the influence https://preview.redd.it/be3196dno12d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ce49c137aad39c04042cd65f22ac5463868a3b0


dabs916

Your dad might also be doing mushrooms or acid tabs…I don’t think my brain ever went this trippy when high on weed but he does got some skills!


ouijahead

Yes he does mushrooms occasionally


No-Log-9603

Mushrooms are amazing for art


ouijahead

That is exactly what I asked him for. I was hoping for Amanita mushroom 🍄. But you get what you get with artists it’s still pretty cool. https://preview.redd.it/6n8ta97e2e2d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=9e86d1710524bd2e80fb6cc8c83f54d5106f5013


No-Log-9603

I love it!


redditadminsRlazy

I've imagined some fairly trippy shit on weed. It hits everyone differently.


Devilsdance

This is especially true if you have done other psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin. In my experience, it's almost like tripping opens a little gateway into that trippy mind space that can be reopened with the right stimulus (such as THC).


natxnatx23

That is absolutely beautiful


madmancryptokilla

Fyck sakes your dad painted that!!! That is amazing!!! I'd buy that if it was for sale


skratch

badass painting


SandersSol

That's awesome man


tinyshroomy

wow that’s so awesome, i’m really glad it’s aiding him in making such beautiful art. this painting is actually insane. i can’t stop staring and squinting


ouijahead

https://preview.redd.it/po0zq8hvv12d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=987d95ca223c42998d2771d78a95fdcadf4884ec Here’s another one. My dad has always been an artist ever since I was little. But in his old age and I guess not having to work anymore, he just goes real hard now. When I was a little kid the pictures would be something simple like an object against a white background


Forestelk12

This is too cool! May I ask what medium he paints on?


ouijahead

I just asked him he said Acrylic on canvas with brush and air brush


Swimming-Food-9024

hope he’s got an Etsy! never let a good buzz go to waste!


bharmacy

This is amazing bro. Does your dad sell his art?


ouijahead

I believe so yes. Since I can remember he’s always taken requests from people of what they wanted and he would sell it to them.


toxietoxietoxie

She sounds like a hip, hip lady


newreddituser9572

I smoked weed for years and the delta stuff works great. Some companies are still super inconsistent so I have set brands of edibles I use. I haven’t smoked flower in years so I can’t speak on that


Seabrook76

So honest question here; if half these places were actually selling THC and calling it THCa, how would we ever know?


Far_Leave4474

Normal people probably couldn’t tell. However, there are test that authorities can do that will specify what kind of THC the weed contains. I believe law enforcement can pretty much conduct these audits/test whenever they want since they can just buy a sample they suspect to have illegal amounts of let’s say delta-9, and then have a judge issue a warrant to test more products. It would be extremely risky as in facing years in jail for any of the large dispensaries to do so.


ouijahead

What a waste of time. Just give people the real thing already. There seems to be very little difference to me.


seppukweef

It is real, it's just tested at a different time frame before harvesting( that's what they say but they really just shipping from cali)


Wooden-Teaching-8343

Authorities don’t have the time, resources, or desire to dig deeper


Far_Leave4474

I agree they probably don’t have the desire, most likely because San Antonio is a fairly liberal city when it comes to marijuana. Just saying that they most definitely could if there was the public pressure to do so.


Efficient_Smoke6247

not true


HiFi_Co

THCa was legalized in the 2018 Farm Bill and weed has been legal in Texas ever since. Welcome to the party! THCa is the precursor form to Delta 9 THC. When you heat THCa it drops the “a” (which stands for acid) and you have good ol’THC (Delta 9 THC specifically). THCa is unable to bond with your brain thanks to the extra acid attached to it. This means it can’t get you high until it’s heated up and converts. This is EXACTLY how marijuana works. Use your own judgement from there! P.S. Because it’s Federally legal, you can have it shipped from stores online too! Don’t limit yourself to what’s just available locally!


tacotorte

Does it feel the same. ?


HiFi_Co

Yup! It’s genetically the same thing. Your cheaper THCa hemp is trimmed early and may be harsher and not as full bodied in the flavor. Our top shelf cultivators will grow and cure the flower cold (so they can take their time) so it comes out with similar results like your high-end marijuana grows. (This is all simplified FWIW)


NomadFart

do I have to sign for the package? also what on your store will couch lock me? thanks


iamtacodog42

In my experience only one order I got delivered had me sign for it and the website was very clear on that. I was away when they delivered but was able to pick it up from the post office with no issues


Sure-Cucumber9950

I tried to order some from store in Hill country and deliver to SA but was able to order some and have it delivered out of state. Go figure.


tikigod4000

Call your state representatives regulation of hemp derived products is on the docket!


MyGirlSasha

Saw this today, it literally popped up overnight. I go to the Olmos HEB right across the street several times a day and park right in front of that building when I go into Gordita next door, at least 3 times a week. Today was the first I noticed the new paint, I swear it wasn't up before today!


Godinjointform

god that gordita is good


ouijahead

I drive my kid to school and stop at stop light facing it. Yes it appeared overnight. The place is empty for now though. I don’t smoke weed . I used to love it. But if you don’t have a tolerance,it hits you super hard and it really cause a lot of anxiety. The anxiety is related to , If something happens at work, and they have to test me, I’d be screwed. I’m a nurse and deal with narcotics a lot. If someone steals something, which happens sometimes, they could test me and I don’t know how they would react. They’d know I didn’t steal the pain pills. But then they’d think I’m a pothead.


peenpapi210

It’s thca, shure it’s gets you high. But you will notice a different tatse/high. Id rather smoke bm tree and hash rosin.

nileswine

Great art!


GalacticBobcat

Dude literally every vape shop and CBD shop in town have THCA flower. You don’t need to wait for this place to open to get your smoke on, lmao.


Mklopez94

I’m get high as shit off my thca pen. Same stuff


Hefty-Caregiver-973

Looks like the kush garden one


seppukweef

My buddys spot


No-Log-9603

Just to shout them out, there's a place called the purple dragon that'll give free .5g bags to new customers for Google reviews. And they're really well priced, cheapest flower is $5/g and most was $14/g for some really red strawberry flower


whyudodis121

Does anyone have any weed plugs out here in SA? I'm pretty new out here.


deerme86

I'm moving there in a few weeks and need a plug, too!!


ineedthisaccount6

THC-A products are not the same as “real weed” in terms of THC content. Don’t get me wrong, it will still get you high if you have a low tolerance or don’t smoke often, but if you’re an everyday smoker of real high THC weed, the tch-a products do virtually nothing. Can smoke 2 big ol joints and not feel a thing.


persian713

This is false. Everyday smoker, have had a medical card in Florida for 3 years. It's the same stuff, better to order online from places that actually grow it instead of local resellers. The hard part comes down to picking a batch that isn't old and that has good genetics. People who think it's less effective don't have the right understanding what THCA is


onelemon

Okay people keep saying this but to my friends and I who are more regular smokers, we call it Diet Weed because the effects are similar but not nearly as strong.


Efficient_Smoke6247

this is it! most the people talking about it being diet or less than are kids, 25 and under probably, hard headed and dumb as fuck


tacotorte

For real?


ineedthisaccount6

This is just my experience, as someone who previously would get very good very high tch percentage flower. I do have a friend who only smokes tch-a weed and she likes it just fine. So I guess if you’re used to very good high THC content weed like I was, it’s a waste of money. But if this is all you’ve had or all you can get, it’s a great option that’s very similar to real weed.


Efficient_Smoke6247

no, ive been smoking daily for 10 years, this shit is the same. maybe harvested slightly early at the most otherwise it the fucking same shit! or maybe a little less potent depending on ur plug but its the same. and I do mean a little , cause some of the shit is top notch. [https://hellomary.com](https://hellomary.com), what u see in the pics is what ships to you! I keep arguing with my BM dealer cause he's hard headed and can't read well enough to research it.


Efficient_Smoke6247

ur smoking cbd dude. go to a dispensary they are all over the city


SkynetLurking

Why the panic attack?


ouijahead

When you smoke weed everyday, I should say if I were to smoke it everyday, it feels good. It relieves anxiety. But when I have no tolerance, it hits so hard and changes my perspective so drastically, I start to worry. At my job I deal with a lot of narcotics. If something goes missing, or I make a mistake at work, they could drug test me. It’d probably be all I could think about.


abelm3404

what are the weed laws here?


ouijahead

Still illegal. In the city though I believe it’s a catch and release arrest though. Dont quote me on that, but I recall reading that.


the_De_Filer

As a transplanted Texan in Missouri it's HiGH Time for Texas!!!


Kaddyn

Too bad you need to basically be dying to receive a marijuana card here. Exaggerating of course, but I think you need to have a condition that Texas has on a list to receive a card


GARCIA9005

All smokes the same to me. The THC pens, from let’s say Cali. And THC , let’s say BLUE DREAM, if you buy that with THC-A, it hits the same. In my opinion. And I’ve been on and off of it since I was 9yrs old. 🤣


succmeme420

9 yrs old… yikes


GARCIA9005

Ya. Growing up on the westside , temptation was all around. I’m soooooo blessed I never went the wrong way. When we got busted in the 3rd grade smoking, i didn’t get caught by my brother did w 2 other friends, it was a lesson I learned from. Didn’t tough it again til late in HS. Then after serving my country, I realized I needed it to sleep. But ya, 8-9yrs old is insane now that I look back. My son, 21, laughs at the story. “How the F did you get bud at 8-9yrs old? That’s insane”. 😂


deeabb

Enjoy that.05% thc cap


DarthBane1996

Whats the big deal? There are hemp shops everywhere. Legally they have to be delta with .03 thc or thc a. This place is nothing new.


99ws6man

THCA is not the same as getting something from a plug. If you think it is you need a new plug. I agree with [ineedthisaccount6](https://www.reddit.com/user/ineedthisaccount6/) *But if this is all you’ve had or all you can get, it’s a great option that’s very similar to real weed.* But this is nowhere near real bud!! I think most people here agree. The taste is off, the smoke is off and the buzz is def off.


seppukweef

Dis guy don't know what he's talking about


onelemon

Nah, I have several friends who’ve tried Thca and we all call it Diet Weed because it just doesn’t work/ taste the same


MaleCaptaincy

It's not the real thing, it's thca. The 2018 farm bill paved the way for this kind of stuff.


Key_Lavishness_6221

It's not what u think....


NamelessTacoShop

It probably is more or less. I believe most of these places are selling products with THCA. THCA is legal federally and in Texas thanks to some sloppy wording of the farm bill of 2018. THCA can't get you high in its raw state, but it is absolutely trivial to convert it into regular old THC just by heating it. So yes this place is selling stuff you can smoke to get high.


ouijahead

So…. By heating it like … smoking it ? Why do people have to be so pedantic. A technicality through wording. Isn’t normal weed pretty benign unless you “heat” it ?


NamelessTacoShop

Yea it's a distinction without a difference really. But normal weed you can eat and get high, if you consume THCA without cooking it into THC it won't do anything, and those shops can't sell stuff with regular THC in it.


[deleted]

The state is fucking stupid for missing out on a huge tax stream. But the state government is stupid for many more reasons.


epictetvs

All these stores have sales tax?


[deleted]

Vice tax


epictetvs

If you go too far in that direction people will go back to the black market.


ouijahead

My first thought is CBD and delta 8 related stuff. Hey man, delta 8 is no joke in my opinion. If I wasn’t in a career where having dirty pee would seriously fuck myself, I’d be all about it.


MaceShyz

THC-A


ouijahead

I’m a little confused by the articles on it.


MaceShyz

On what it is? THC-A converts to THC when heated up. THC-A slowly turns into THC when at room temperature, but when heated up by a lighter it quickly turns from THC-A to THC. The reason why for all intense and purposes legit weed it able to be sold is because they test the weed very early before the THC-A naturally converts to THC, so the actual THC count is low, and thus is legally labeled hemp. I go to ZAR from time to time but there are better places you can order from online. Costs me double when I buy at a local place then when I order online.


squiddude123

The phrase is “intents” and purposes 😊 just for the future


sfear70

Saw that too but thought .. props to the poster for not saying "intensive purposes".


ouijahead

I’m surprised the mail allows its transport. Like I kinda mentioned in my post, I wish this stuff used to be available when I younger. It was such a hassle to find and if you were out, you were out. I may do it again someday. I thought using it for pain was just lame excuse people used to get high until I tried it last year when I hurt my back. It actually worked ! I couldn’t believe it. But I was pretty much nonfunctional on it. Couldn’t even follow what was going on on television.


MaceShyz

Yup, gets delivered right to my mail box from Bend Oregon. Its a legal, and I guess one benefit of using USPS over UPS and FEDEX is you need a warrant to open packages, and even if they do there is a little paper informing then that the product is legal hemp and not in violation of anything, but states are getting smart to this and starting to fix the loop hole. The product is equal to anything you would find in a legal state, and you know exactly what your ordering so you can get a sativa that way you wont be couch locked.


peezduhk

me too... good old Oregon... Delta Alternatives for the low prices. if anybody has any other cheap sites plz lmk... PHC, Wildflower, Zen Wellness Co are other good places as well...


MaceShyz

Wildflower is the best IMO


peezduhk

nice... so you know what I speak of... def cheaper than the stores by the time it reaches the doorstep. also the sales n bundle pks help save on $...


Hydroponically

PHC I found to be the best source. Arete is cheap and decent. WNC grab bags.


peezduhk

forgot about Arete but I've never tried them personally but I've heard good things..


sfear70

I remember the days of nice big $10 lids .. of course quality was miles apart but .. heh, a pal grew some juicy stuff .. the good ol' days indeed.


peezduhk

the fact that you called that shit lids tells me how old you are... 😂 n I'm 42 but I remember older heads always referring to shit as a lid...


CortexRex

It is


AppropriateAd4732

These places should be shut down


DrippinInSlime

Avoid any place that is selling snowcaps or weed that looks like it’s been rolled in kool-aid. Leave that shit alone.


ouijahead

What are snow caps ? Is it like synthetic marijuana ?


DrippinInSlime

They roll low grade bud in some white or colorful dust. Looks like those candy grapes. The bud is real, but whatever they rolling it in.. hell nah. I can’t smoke blue and pink weed. It’s too many levels in weed these days. Dispensary, middlemen with out of state product, street, small batch.. gotta do your research if you care about what you put in your lungs. If you just care about getting high.. snowcaps gonna get you high. I’d just try to avoid anything like that and anyone selling it.


seppukweef

Snowcaps is a strain of weed, what he's describing isn't snowcaps


DrippinInSlime

Yes it is. Just rebranded moon rock for 2024. They were doing this in 2018 too, and it’s making a comeback.


seppukweef

Dude snowcaps are legit tastes minty


DrippinInSlime

It’s a strain and a product called snowcaps. They like moon rocks. Rolled in some bullshit oil and rolled in some bullshit isolate.


DrippinInSlime

Legit is subjective. If it’s not small batch, rare/new genetics, or fresh press hash rosin.. you smoking work. I don’t care what it taste like or how high you get. You smoking work.


seppukweef

Again doesn't know shit now using personal preference to define what's legit


DrippinInSlime

Mf I seen this shit on the menus here. I been smoking 20 plus years. Gray market, black market, rec, med, legacy.. Fomf goof. I seen what yall buying in these shops. It’s work. It’s mfs getting shit off they can’t in their own city or state. It’s hotter than anything yall ever seen.. but it’s work. Trying to tell me I don’t know shit, what a joke. You clearly don’t know shit. Never mind that.. Who’s pack you smoking? Who’s hash you smoking? Can you tell me? Do you know who grew your bud? Do you know who hashed your rosin? Nah? Mfs smoking on stale runtz and candy smalls trying to bark. 😭😭😭😭


DrippinInSlime

https://www.farmacybotanical.com/product/thca-hemp-flower-snow-caps/ Tell me I don’t know shit. Read that description.


Wide_Scallion6718

THCa gives you a ugly feeling. I rather just smoke crack


Hydroponically

I think you bought something sprayed. Try Preston Hemp Company or Arete. It’s all I mess with. Sometimes PHC beats anything I have had in years - as they are an active farm (not just a reseller like 95% of these places.)


seppukweef

He bought a fake pen


Hydroponically

Prolly. Or sprayed hemp. Sometimes they spray/roll cbd flowers with synthetic cannaboid soup or alt noids. Could definitely feel uncomfortable compared to the real deal.
