Frequently Asked Questions

What is THCA?

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the precursor to Delta-9 THC. In its raw form, THCA is non-intoxicating, but when heated (smoked, vaped, dabbed, or baked) it decarboxylates into Delta-9 THC — the same psychoactive compound found in traditional cannabis.

That means THCA flower provides the same effects people expect from marijuana, while remaining federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill until heated.

Is THCA Flower Legal?

Yes — at the federal level. Our hemp products comply with the 2018 Farm Bill and contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. However, laws vary by state and are changing rapidly.

It is your responsibility to understand the laws in your jurisdiction. We do not issue refunds for products seized or rejected due to state regulations.

Will THCA Get Me High?

THCA itself does not cause intoxication. When you smoke, vape, or heat THCA, it converts into Delta-9 THC — which can produce psychoactive effects.

If you're expecting the same type of experience as traditional cannabis, you’re in the right place.

Will THCA Show Up on a Drug Test?

Most drug tests look for THC metabolites, not THCA. Heating THCA converts it into Delta-9 THC, which metabolizes the same way.

Therefore:

YES, consuming THCA products may cause you to fail a drug test.
We make no guarantees regarding testing outcomes.

What’s the Difference Between THCA and Delta-8 / Delta-9?

Cannabinoid Psychoactive? How It Works Notes
THCA Only when heated Converts to Delta-9 THC Legal until activated
Delta-9 THC Yes Primary cannabis molecule Federally restricted >0.3%
Delta-8 THC Mildly Converted analog Lab-derived, lighter effects

If you want the real cannabis experience, THCA is the closest federally legal option.

Is Your Hemp Lab Tested?

Yes. Every batch has a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying:

  • Potency

  • Cannabinoid breakdown

  • Delta-9 compliance

  • Safety metrics

COAs are linked or attached to each product page for transparency.

How Should I Store My Flower and Edibles?

For best results:

  • Keep products in a cool, dark place

  • Avoid extreme heat or direct sunlight

  • Reseal airtight packaging to preserve terpenes

Proper storage maintains quality, freshness, and potency.

Do You Ship to My State?

We ship to most U.S. states where hemp cannabinoids are legal. However, certain states restrict THCA or other derivatives. If your order violates local law, it may be canceled or modified.

We do not provide refunds for items confiscated due to local restrictions.

What Payment Methods Do You Accept?

Payment options vary based on processor approvals for hemp. Options may include:

  • Credit/debit cards

  • ACH transfers

  • Gift cards or store credit (optional)

Payment availability may change without notice based on federal banking policies involving hemp-derived cannabinoids.

Do You Accept Returns?

Due to the consumable nature of hemp products, all sales are final.

We only replace products that arrive damaged or incorrect. Once shipped and delivered, we cannot accept returns due to preference, potency, or effects.

Full details are in our Shipping & Returns Policy.

How Are Your Products Different From Gas-Station Hemp?

We don’t cut corners. Unlike convenience-store products that often contain:

  • Unknown growers

  • Untested cannabinoids

  • Harsh manufacturing processes

  • Synthetic additives

Voluntary Exchange uses:

Premium hemp flower, real genetics, transparent testing, and intentional sourcing.
If it’s not something we would use ourselves, we don’t sell it.

Can I Buy Your Products If I’m Under 21?

No. You must be 21 or older to purchase or consume any hemp-derived cannabinoid products on this site.
