Is THCa Federally Legal?

I recently came across an article about THCA carts and their legal status, and I wanted to get your thoughts on it. According to this post, THCA carts are considered federally illegal, but I’ve noticed them being sold at some stores near me, which left me quite puzzled.

I was wondering if any of you could shed some light on this topic. Is this information accurate? How are these stores able to sell THCA carts if they’re federally illegal? Are there any loopholes or state-specific regulations that allow them to do so?

I’d appreciate any input you might have on this subject, as I’m trying to stay informed and make responsible choices when it comes to cannabis consumption.

No its not federally legal yet. Im waiting for it to be descheduled. Texas is still a felony so dont play around with it. Until its legal.

Thca will also slowly convert to THC over time so you would be risking getting a positive result for THC. Also some of the tests they do for THC heat the sample which would also cause THC positive. Even if it was legal to sell the loophole there’s a high chance it would test positive or contain some thc

Over here in Europe :eu: HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) is making its way up. I have friends in the Czech Republic :czech_republic: with a CBD grow op using their own HHC on their bud as an alternative to THC bud. Sold in Belgium :belgium: too. Legal. While THC remains illegal for the time being.

This may provide some background on why some believe it is legal…

However, don’t believe the hype. You can’t legally grow it as hemp (trust me on that one). What people are selling as legal under the hemp guidelines would simply test as weed/thc to law enforcement. It’s basically a scenario like one where we could sell salsa but not grow the tomatoes to make it. Awesome times.

People is playing after the Farm Bill in 2018 with compounds but THCA is in that red line region that it would put some alarms on. But as already mentioned, there are other options like HHC or Delta 8 that are legal.
