What is THC-A Flower?
All (THC dominant) Cannabis is naturally high in THC-A. THC-A is the acidic precursor to THC Delta-9 and naturally forms prior to Delta-9 during the lifecycle of the cannabis plant. THC-A also converts to THC Delta-9 through Decarboxylation, or heat.
Does THCA Flower get you "high"?
Yes, through the process of decarboxylation, THCA can convert into THC Delta-9, which is psychoactive. Therefore, after undergoing decarboxylation, THC-A flowers will produce euphoric effects when combusted (smoked).
What is Decarboxylation?
Decarboxylation is a chemical process that occurs when cannabis is heated, either by smoking, vaporizing, or baking. This process converts non-psychoactive cannabinoids, such as THC-A (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), into psychoactive cannabinoids, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

In the case of cannabis, THC-A is the acidic precursor to THC. THC-A does not have psychoactive effects on its own. Still, when exposed to heat through decarboxylation, it loses a carboxyl group (COOH) and becomes THC, the psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana consumption.

Decarboxylation typically occurs when cannabis is heated to a certain temperature, usually around 220°F to 240°F (104°C to 115°C), for a specific amount of time. This process activates the cannabinoids present in the plant material, making them available for absorption by the body when consumed.

In summary, decarboxylation is essential for unlocking the full potential of the cannabis plants psychoactive effects by converting THC-A into THC Delta-9 through the application of heat.
What is the Decarboxylation Rate?
Decarboxylation rate refers to the efficiency at which THC-A (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) converts into THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) Delta-9, a psychoactive compound, under specific conditions such as heat. The formula to calculate the amount of THC Delta-9 produced from THC-A during decarboxylation is:
Total Potential THC = THC Delta-9 + THC-A in percentage (Conversion Rate)
Given that the conversion rate is 0.877, let's use an example where we have a flower containing 30% THC-A:
Total Potential THC = .2 + 30% (0.877)
Total Potential THC = 26.51%
So, when the flower containing 30% THC-A undergoes decarboxylation with a conversion rate of 0.877, it would produce approximately 26.31% THC Delta-9.
What is CBG?
CBG or cannabigerol is often referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids. What is CBG? It is a type of cannabinoid that is obtained from the cannabis plant. Other cannabinoids come from cannabigerolic acid, which is an acidic form of CBG. There are also other more common cannabinoids that are obtained from cannabis plants, which include tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol (CBD).

CBG originates from cannabis plants that are still young as they have higher levels of CBG as compared to plants that have fully developed. Some cannabis strains such as Jack Frost CBG, White CBG, and Super Glue CBG also have greater contents of CBG as compared to other strains. These strains are specially grown to make greater concentrations of CBG.

Just like CBD, CBG is processed by the endocannabinoid system of the body. The system consists of receptors and molecules that keep our bodies in an optimal state regardless of external factors.

CBG is found in lower amounts as compared to other cannabinoids in cannabis plants. In most of the plant’s strains, just 1% of CBD can be found as compared to at least 20 to 25% of CBD or 25 to 30% of THC. This is why consumer products that are derived from the cannabinoid are considered rare and are often expensively priced. CBG is still nonetheless growing in popularity because of its host of potential benefits.

Acquiring CBG can be difficult, which is why some cannabis farmers have been experimenting with genetic manipulation and cross-breeding techniques.
What is CBN?
CBN, or Cannabinol, is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is a product of the degradation of THC and is known for its potential sedative effects, making it popular for sleep aids.
What is CBD?
CBD can be derived from hemp or from non-hemp plants. Hemp is defined as any part of the cannabis sativa plant with no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive substance in marijuana.
How is CBN different from CBD?
CBN and CBD are both cannabinoids, but they have different origins and effects. CBN is formed as THC ages and breaks down, whereas CBD is a primary cannabinoid present in the cannabis plant. CBN is often associated with sleep and relaxation, while CBD is known for its wide range of therapeutic benefits without causing a high.
What is Delta 8?
If you are wondering what Delta 8 is, you’ve come to the right place. People new to Delta-8 often ask, what is Delta 8? The answer is that Delta 8 is a naturally-occurring chemical compound that can be found in cannabis and hemp plants in small traces. Affectionately referred to by some THC-users as “Delta 9 Lite” or “Diet Delta 9”, Delta 8 delivers a milder sense of euphoria that many liken to a less intense Delta 9.

Delta 8 has a chemical structure that is similar to Delta 9 THC, which is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that gets users high. Delta 8 and Delta 9 are types of THC, but whereas THC is concerned, it is often the Delta 9 compound that is found in high concentrations within cannabis. Both Delta 8 and Delta 9 are said to yield feelings of a euphoric “high” but with Delta 8 being significantly milder than Delta 9.

Delta 8 has become increasingly popular because it is not as heavily regulated as Delta 9, which makes it legal in most states. The compound is extracted mostly from CBD, which is derived from hemp. The legal status of hemp stems from the 2018 Farm Bill, which eliminated hemp and its byproducts from its list of controlled substances. It did so because of the low THC levels in hemp, which must be under 0.3% to stay within the legal limit. Delta 8 is not mentioned anywhere in the bill, which causes the legality of the substance to be up for interpretation in many regards.
Should I buy THC-a Flower by 28g or 3.5g?
If you're a frequent user, buying by the Ounce (28g) can be more cost-effective. For casual users or first-timers, buying by the eighth (3.5g) is a better option. Compare prices and consider your usage before deciding.
Are Stoned Teddy Products Legal?
Stoned Teddy products are in compliance with federal law and therefore legal according to the following:

2018 Farm Bill & USDA Final Rule
In December of 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law. It removed hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis Sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)(no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis), from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The 2018 Farm Bill defines hemp as “any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers with no more than a .03% concentration of delta-9”. [1]

Additionally, Stoned Teddy complies with the USDA Final Rule [2], which indicates that a hemp crop is considered to be compliant if it is tested no more than thirty (30) days prior to harvest using a postdecarboxylation method and the results show that the delta-9 THC value does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis: [3]

“Postdecarboxylation. In the context of testing methodologies for THC concentration levels in hemp, means a value determined after the process of decarboxylation that determines the total potential delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol content derived from the sum of the THC and THC-A content and reported on a dry weight basis. The postdecarboxylation value of THC can be calculated by using a chromatograph technique using heat, gas chromatography, through which THC-A is converted from its acid form to its neutral form, THC. Thus, this test calculates the total potential THC in a given sample. The postdecarboxylation value of THC can also be calculated by using a high-performance liquid chromatograph technique, which keeps the THC-A intact, and requires a conversion calculation of that THC-A to calculate total potential THC in a given sample.” [4]

The postdecarboxylation value for THC, as described above, is synonymous with the Total THC in a hemp sample. For this reason, it is clear that a pre-harvested hemp crop is not compliant unless its Total THC concentrations do not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis. [5]

Total THC Is Not Applicable to Harvested Hemp
The USDA Final Rule [6] only governs hemp production and not the regulation of hemp distribution or hemp products which are governed by the Food and Drug Administration Farm Bill. Therefore, after post-harvest, the USDA has no further jurisdiction over the hemp crop leaving the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the only other agency with the authority to regulate the hemp crop. The sole authority on post-harvested hemp is the Farm Bill and its definition specifically defines hemp in terms of its delta-9 THC concentration, not its Total THC content. [7]

One of the key aspects that allows for a higher concentration of THC-A is that during the thirty (30) day harvest window in which a hemp crop must be tested for THC concentrations, the plant’s cannabinoid concentrations, including THC, continue to increase. [8] For this reason, pre-harvest hemp which has been tested and determined to be compliant may have total THC concentrations that exceed 0.3% when harvested. With that being said, the hemp crop will remain compliant with FDA’s 2018 Farm Bill regulations as long as its delta-9 THC concentration does not surpass 0.3%

DEA Regulation of Hemp and Hemp Products
On August 21, 2020, the DEA published its Interim Final Rule (IFR) to further clarify that hemp and hemp products are not controlled substances.

In order to meet the definition of “hemp”, and thus qualify for the exemption from Schedule I, the derivative must not exceed the 0.3% delta-9 THC limit. The definition of “marijuana” continues to state that “all parts of the plant Cannabis Sativa L.” and “every compound manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such plant,” are Schedule I controlled substances unless they meet the definition of “hemp” by falling below the 0.3% delta-9 THC limit on a dry weight basis. [9]

This ruling confirms that products distributed by Stoned Teddy are not controlled substances as long as their delta-9 THC concentrations do not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.
What is HEMP?
Hemp or cannabis sativa is the same species of plant as cannabis. Unlike cannabis, hemp contains low concentrations of THC, under 0.3%.

Both cannabis and hemp also contain cannabinoids like CBDV (cannabidivarin), CBD, CBG, cannabigerol, and others. The 2018 Farm Bill established the specific definition of hemp versus cannabis by restricting the content of THC in hemp to no more than 0.3%. Additionally, hemp seeds contain protein, fats, and other nutrients.

The legality of hemp is a hotly contested topic within the US given the different forms of hemp that exist and state restrictions. The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 legalized industrial hemp with no restrictions on sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products so long as they contain no more than 0.3% THC, as per section 10113 of the Farm Bill.
What is a CBD Tincture?
A tincture is a concentrated liquid form of one or more herbs, such as cannabis, which is produced by soaking the plant in a solvent, such as alcohol or vegetable glycerine, for several weeks. In the case of CBD oil tincture, a high-resin hemp flower strain of cannabis could be soaked in alcohol for several weeks until it is formed into a liquid state.

Depending on the desired effects of the tincture, the liquid can be refined to contain certain compounds from the plant. Broad-spectrum products contain no THC, while full-spectrum contain THC below the legal limit of .3%
How long does THC stay in your system?
How long THC stays in the system depends on several factors. Like many substances, the duration that THC can stay in a person’s system varies based on frequency of use, how hydrated the individual is, the person’s height and weight, their metabolism, the dose of THC, and more.

In general, THC can be detected for up to 90 days in hair and anywhere between 3 days to a month or even longer through a urine test. How long THC stays in your system (based on whether it shows up on a drug test) also depends on the frequency of substance use. In a saliva test, THC can be detected for up to 48 hours; in a blood test, THC may be detectable for up to 36 hours.

Using marijuana regularly will typically increase the risk of THC showing up as positive on a drug test.
THC in low concentrations is typically no longer detectable after 30 days. Low concentrations of THC are referred to as 0.3% THC or less, which is the legal amount within CBD products. Primary factors that affect how long THC may stay in your system include body fat percentage, the frequency of THC consumption, the dose of THC consumption, sex (as it relates to body fat percentage), hydration, and individuals metabolic rates. Sources say that the most important factor for determining whether THC will show up as positive on a drug test is the time between exposure to the substance and the time of testing.
Lawful Transportation of Hemp Products in Interstate Commerce?
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp at the federal level and included a provision that makes it illegal for states to prohibit the interstate transportation of hemp and hemp products as follows:

No State or Indian Tribe shall prohibit the transportation or shipment of hemp or hemp products produced in accordance with subtitle G or the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA (as added by section 10113) through the State or the territory of the Indian Tribe, as applicable. [10]

This ruling makes it clear that Stoned Teddy is allowed to transport and ship hemp or hemp products as long as the products are produced in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill by not exceeding a delta-9 THC concentration of 0.3% on a dry weight basis. Additionally, Stoned Teddy products will not shipped to states with regulations that have enacted a “Total THC” testing requirement imposing limitations on the requirements set out in the 2018 Farm Bill.
What is Federal Product Compliance for Stoned Teddy?
Based on the 2018 Farm Bill, USDA Final Rule, and DEA regulations, Stoned Teddy products which contain delta-9 THC concentrations do not exceed 0.3% and are not controlled substances under Federal law. The above rules and regulations specifically define hemp in terms of its delta-9 THC concentrations, not its Total THC content meaning Stoned Teddy products are in full compliance for retail sales and distribution.
What does Full Spectrum mean?
Full spectrum (or “whole plant”) products contain CBD as well as terpenes and other cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN and trace amounts of THC. Usually these will be in ratios that were naturally-occurring and extracted from the plant and specific strain. Terpenes and cannabinoids are occasionally added back into products as an isolated form to raise the potency of the product.

Full spectrum products are by far the most popular choice among users. With full spectrum CBD oil products, you have the advantage of something called the “entourage effect.” This is where all the cannabinoids and terpenes are working together in synergy, something that broad spectrum and isolate products will lack.

Those subject to drug testing should be cautious when it comes to full spectrum products. The THC found in full spectrum CBD oil products is minimal (less than 0.3%) but can still trigger a positive drug test.
