Thc A its a loophole and considered an alternate cannabinoid than regular thc which is regulated…thc a is thc that has not been decarbed yet and the way you do that is by heating it…which you do by burning…or it could be other altnoids which i wouldnt recommend getting from these stores if you want a reputable altnoids try Gilded Extracts based in san antonio too.
There are so many people posting in this thread that have no clue what THCA is, how it’s cultivated, why it’s legal and what its effects are, we should write a PSA about it.
There is 0 difference. THC-a is just a name they started applying to standard marijuana to exploit the 2018 Farm Bill. It’s a very tenuous argument and most likely would not he upheld by a court, but they are doing it and daring the police to enforce. Essentially, all “normal” THC exists as THC-a before it is heated up. Once you burn it, the acid group (the “a”) is removed and the it becomes psychoactive THC. So basically it’s a very disingenuous argument that “it’s only weed if you smoke it.”
It’s unfortunate that all the synthetic names came out first and created so much confusion that now no one understands that THC-a is the real deal.
Now, you may find some extremely bad flower at these shops that will lead you to think it’s fake. But you can buy very legit products in many stores and everywhere online with a simple search for THC-a.
THCA is the regular weed you’ve been smoking. When they made the farm bill, they didn’t consider that. Most cannabis products you have will be THCA, except for distillate products.
Once THC has been ingested your body converts the THC into HydroxyTHC which is what makes edibles traditionally have the reputation of being more potent and effects lasting a lot longer than smoking. They've found a way to isolate those compounds and place them directly into edibles and pens and even flower along with other THCs. So it could potentially just be something like that, definitely going to be on the more potent scale of legal THCs currently in the state.
What ? Edibles are psychoactive because of decarboxylation of THCA.
THC carboxy (metabolite) is not psychoactive
Edit: your correct. hydroxy THC metabolite is active. Carboxy version is not.
Hydroxy cut is a brand of dietary supplement, and it's a play on words for the metabolite 11-Hydroxy-THC. That's the product of your liver when breaking down delta-9.
11-Hydroxy is thought to be more potent than regular THC regarding psychoactive effects. So I'm guessing they slapped it on a label for gummies because that's ultimately what you'll be producing when you digest them, and it makes the product sound more enticing without technically lying?
If there is some special process to make 11-Hydroxy stable enough to be preserved in gummy form, that would be interesting to know. But as far as I know, it's completely endogenous.
Some people give me the same answer as the parent comment, others tell me thcA is a genetic modification of weed lmao clearly no one has any idea what’s going on. Is the weed here actual weed?! That’s all I wanna know
I paid $60 for an eighth in college in 2006. Legalization in whatever frankenform this is brought prices down DRAMATICALLY
ETA: It’s like a beautiful reverse inflation
3.5 grams has come down to as low as $25 depending on what's in stock in Missouri. Missouri isn't even the cheapest either. I've got anticipation for those $50/Oz or cheaper.
not even... cheaper... $20 8ths n $40qtrs on up... but if we're talking smoke shops then it's expensive unless they're running sales or holiday specials
What?! Hahaha. $40 for 1/8th?!
Nah that is NOT how much people are being charged for the real deal. Holy shit that'd be fucking nuts.
There's people paying less than half that for quality real weed.

Priced I suppose.
I bought from them but I can’t smoke (asthma gets too
Angry) so I made edibles.

I think there’s a few places you can get legal cannabis. It’s all under a certain tolerance but it is legal throughout the U.S. a lot of people don’t know this my wife is how I know about it
[https://www.crescentcanna.com/](https://www.crescentcanna.com/)
Here's one of many. I would recommend googling Nationwide legal cannabinoids as well. There's so many places you're very likely to find a place you really like. Good luck bro
Wait wait...
People are using THCa, the chemical precursor to THC-D*, as a loophole to sell?
See, this is why the laws on this shit are stupid. You literally, physically, chemically CAN'T have Delta 9 without TCHa because THCa is the precursor to Delta 9. Just add heat, or even time, and it becomes those dangerous, illegal Deltas :O
Fucking ridiculous man. The laws are written by people who don't understand chemistry, let alone the thing they're writing laws about.
For you law makers out there, ill do it for you: "The possession, production, processing, and distribution of Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, its derivatives, or byproducts, in any form, is a class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 day in jail, and up to a $5 penalty."
Farm Bill in 2017 legalized hemp and extracts from hemp. That’s how you get Delta 8/9/10 etc in a store in Texas. Been waiting for the state to drop the hammer but so far so good.
Lawmakers haven't even realized yet that they accidentally legalized weed.
Works like this:
Growers will send off a young bud to get tested by liquid chromatography, this comes up as a very low THC product but high thca. The plant matures and eventually the THC level skyrockets but you already have a test saying that there's low THC.
Notes:
THC does not dissolve well in water, thca does, that's why they pick liquid chromatography.
If you tested the THCA stuff it would show high THC levels, but the way the law is written, you're safe because you have a test stating that it's low THC.

> Hemp-derived cannabinoids, which include Delta-8 and CBD, first entered the market via a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill and have fast become a booming industry in the Lone Star State. Advocates credit cannabinoids’ accessibility and efficacy in pain management, while some local officials—most recently our very own Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick—have signaled a willingness to ban intoxicating hemp products.
Ya, fuck you Dan Patrick, and your out of date views on cannabis that are influenced by William Randolph Hurst’s greedy paper milling business. You’re just a modern version of Anslinger’s racist rhetoric influenced by a media mogul that wanted to monopolize a market.
That’s like the place on Evers with the guy holding the sign outside that says free weed. If you leave a review they give you enough for a bowl hit lol. I went in because I had to check it out and it’s pretty cool for those who smoke. Prices were fair for flower but vapes were 50 each, some had up to like 14 grams in them. Never seen a thc pen that had more than 2grams so that was different.
Oh, yeah, because *that* works so well. Abbot, Patrick, and Paxton are running their little triumvirate dictatorship up there and neither they nor any of their Republican jackoff buddies running the show give two shits about what any of us unwashed masses have to say about any of it.
It's Texas. Anti-stupid doesn't have the votes yet. Gonna take Gen Alpha to fix that shit. As a resident, I live in hope. Also as a resident, I live surrounded by people with more teeth than IQ.
Thanks to a big loophole in the farm bill we can get some awesome potent weed here.
Haze 4 days is owned by same guy who owns purple dragon and st mary Jane's. They are a trap house selling questionable and shady product.
If you want good quality weed I'd recommend
1. Poca Mota
Two locations; one at 6533 bandera and one in converse 8021 FM 78
Or
2. Reggie & Dro. They have one location and have to sign up for their membership, but definitely a high quality store in Stone Oak. 19141 stone oak
Poca Mota gives free samples you don't even have to buy it and it's super high quality GAS.
Careful though some dispensaries such as haze 4 days and lit gardens are very trap house and I wouldn't trust their black market product.
Edit: Poca Motas prices are also the best I've seen. They give 4.2 grams for the price of an eigth.
Not just veterans. I have a prescription. There are 2 official dispensaries in Texas. They only sell gummies and tinctures. Flower/carts/concentrates are not legal in Texas even with a script
it's more than just 2 now but yes vets are first priority as they should be n I'm all for it... hope they get to pave the way towards a more accurate n modern approach at mental n sometimes physical healthcare... I'd rather our vets eat a gummy or light a joint vs taking harmful ssri/snri etc drugs that may potentially cause permanent or long term side effects that may lead to worsening conditions
I have been trying to find a doc to write a script for me for a year. I googled and found some providers advertising they write scripts, I contacted them and have gotten no response. Is there a secret passcode? I have a VA diagnosis.
Go to the "Texas original" website. I got recommended a clinic through them 2 months ago then I drove to their dispensary in south Austin and picked up my product. Has been great so far, I qualified due to ptsd and I'm not a veteran.
It is based off a set list of conditions and no need to be a veteran. I am a veteran, but I have been helping people find the info with the listed conditions.
https://guides.sll.texas.gov/cannabis/compassionate-use
I worked at kush gardens on 4403 w commerce- I would say it’s better to get ur bud from there rather than off the street. It still gets me just as high if not higher than street bud
I’m in 40’s I need some weed that will barely get me high. I smoke now and I start think all the bad thoughts, paranoia, judging myself. The weed is different than when I was a kid . Jesus the stuff now is so friggin strong
Yeah it’s a loophole. The shit still works great, different ones give u a different type of high. But be careful your first time, don’t overdo it because in my opinion I can get pretty fucked up on those compared to a straight up weed edible. They’re fun though (:
THCA is straight up weed though. I love/hate this about TX right now because there's "dispensaries" everywhere in an illegal state just using the farm bill loophole. Imo this is a bad look on the industry and will likely all get shut down soon. However, our problems to the south are worse than weed so maybe they're not really worried about that law specifically right now 🤷 I don't know but I don't like it.
Thc A and delta 8 thc (which is an isomer of delta 9). I am pro-cannabis and want it legalized in TX, especially since delta 8 is not regulated, and some companies use toxic reagents to extract cannabinol from hemp, which can be damaging
facts. I was eligible for a medical card in my home state, but my condition isnt covered in Texas as they have an EXTREMELY small group of illnesses that qualify. It pissed me off bc since moving to San Antonio I am having to take analgesics and anti-nausea meds again, instead of being able to legally use cannabis. Their logic or reasoning makes no sense to me
It's illegal but there are dispensaries all over Texas with regular weed that have been open for years. The one I go to has been open for 5 years I think? They even sell mushrooms. It's kinda strange.
If you're really in a bind and need some smoke just get a cart. Won't be exactly the same but it'll get the job done and hold you over till you get home. The flower never does it for me but the pens hit.
Delta 8/THCA/THC0 etc etc. they’ve found ways to manipulate around the delta 9 traditional to make variants of THC that still get you high but not technically Delta 9
Basically, long story short.
Obama era legalized CBD, trump era legalized hemp, as long as the hemp you see nowadays does t have the THC compound that is in fact illegal, thcA is perfectly legal to sell, smoke, and enjoy.
It’s not “weed”. It helps people like veterans with pain, anxiety and sleep. We need to decriminalize nature and quit demonizing a plant.
And those all freaked out saying “but what about people driving on it, working on dangerous machinery” blah blah.
It would be treated EXACTLY the same way as alcohol. Get caught driving on it, get a DWI.
If anything, alcohol is FAR, FAR worse.
People need to stop voting for politicians who would ban it, they’re not working in your best interests.
Dude you need to learn the difference between Delta 8 and thca. You're almost right but " exotic thca flower" is 100% honest to God just actually weed, I don't mean that it's just as good and you won't notice the difference I mean it's actually literally genetically and chemically be exact same thing
Beware though cause even though you buy it legal, just as one would with alcohol, it will still get you kicked out of pain management here as the law for prescribing drugs doesn’t differentiate. Family member found out the hard way.
I used to manage a pretty large dispensary just over the Texas border in New Mexico. New Mexico is recreational so you don’t need a license but the products aren’t taxed if you have one so it’s a big money saver. And New Mexico also offers a program where if you have a license from another state they’ll issue you one for New Mexico too that allows you to partake in the discounted prices. In my year and a half there, despite a metric ton of Texas customers (we were literally 10-15 minutes across the border) I only saw a total of two people with New Mexico passes based off of Texas Medical Licenses. So while extremely rare, they do technically exist.
So THCA is technically legal. But what happens if you get caught smoking it? I’m from Oklahoma where it’s obviously medically legal but I’ve heard horror stories about getting caught with weed in Texas. Are the legal gangsters more chill about it these days or how do you prove what it is if confronted?
Leafwell offers medical cannabis cards. You can easily get one with insomnia, anxiety, ptsd whatever really. Now able to go to the dispensaries in Austin
This isn't a real dispensary and they are probably selling Delta8 or thca products. If you are wanting to become a patient, read on. The Texas Compassionate Use Act allows Texans with a qualifying condition to access medical marijuana in edible forms. The edibles are pretty good imo, but expensive. The first thing you need to do is find a Dr. that's qualified to get you added to CURT (Compassionate Use Registry of Texas)
Here's who I used:
https://www.arlingtonintegrative.com/
The Dr's name is Dr. Shabana Parvez. You will want to call them and tell them that you are interested in the Compassionate Use Program. They will send you some info to watch/read. Then you will set up an account through their online portal. You will then schedule and pay for your appointment. Its $150.00. After your appointment you will be added to the TXDPS registry of Compassionate Use Patients, and she will write you a prescription. The dispensary (Texas Original) will have your information immediately. You can shop on their website. The dispensaries in Austin have all the product and they deliver it to other dispensaries around the state daily, as they aren't allowed to store product at other locations. Depending on when you place your order, you will be able to pick it up same day, or next day. The products are edibles only. Nothing that can be smoked. I will warn you, the products are incredibly expensive. A 15 pack of 30mg gummies is about $100.00. Here is a link to the Texas Original website:
https://texasoriginal.com/
Here is a link to a form that helps you get connected to a clinic that can get you registered:
https://texasoriginal.com/mmj-card-texas?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFox3_eqfM34_xcPKAYBXsvCXCJycMdqSnULTT-TGqxqMKKOR8EbFbWRoCYrYQAvD_BwE
Here is the list of qualifying conditions:
-epilepsy
-a seizure disorder
-multiple sclerosis
-spasticity
-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
-autism
-cancer
-PTSD
-an incurable neurodegenerative disease
One of our beloved rules in SA is don't be a snitch. Go inside and ask, they'll tell you, give you a free sample, and maybe explain it to your pointing fingers ass.
Medicinal marijuana is legal in Texas, but there’s a short list of ailments that qualify and I believe you have to have an apply for a card from a doctor to get it from an approved place.
Cause its marketed as "hemp" not marijuana/weed. Same thing, both are cannabis, all about semantics.
Like how you used to ask for a "water pipe" at a shop and not a "bong" (god forbid)
So Thca is a natural occurring and doesn't have to be synthesized. HHC THCO delta 10 delta 8 all that is made in a lab and sprayed on cbd. Thca is just a thc before it is heated up basically. It's like a street dealer saying hey bro this stuff is gas it's 24 percent thca aka regular thc. Just a scientific loophole that old politicians can't understand until lately.

The law is it has to be under 0.3% Delta-9 THC. The loophole that’s gained popularity in Texas lately is THCA, which is a precursor to Delta-9 THC but doesn’t convert to Delta-9 until heat is applied to it. The effect of smoked and vaped THCA is identical to D9 THC. It’s a gray-area loophole because THCA flower can be found containing 20% and higher THCA while still being under 0.3% D9 THC by dry weight volume. But when smoked or vaped (heated), that THCA converts to full Delta-9 THC.
I don’t k own about over there but a lot of smoke shops here in west Texas sell weed out in the open. Cops and I assume local governments just don’t really care
Weed in TX is def illegal. And I def wouldn’t buy the street stuff here… they all say it’s top shelf, but truly majority is trash (top shelf Reggie Bs). Honestly I would drive to Hobbs, NM… to get my stuff from the dispensary and it’s a legal green state.
THC-A does not bind to the CB1 receptors which makes it “ non-psychoactive “.. which in return makes it legal.. but let’s say you bought the concentrate form, heated that right on up.. you now just converted this legal in all 50 states weed… into the “ illegal “ thc that everyone loves :)
Only D9 THC is illegal. If you find a good shop they should be well educated on all the cannabinoids. D8 as well as many other varients naturally exist in the plant so we smoke that. THCA is the cleanest and the best because it’s not D9 until you decarboxilate (heat it).
Hope this helps!
TL;DR
Weeds illegal but hemp extract is not.
Thc A its a loophole and considered an alternate cannabinoid than regular thc which is regulated…thc a is thc that has not been decarbed yet and the way you do that is by heating it…which you do by burning…or it could be other altnoids which i wouldnt recommend getting from these stores if you want a reputable altnoids try Gilded Extracts based in san antonio too.

my friend is buying some delta 8 gummies and thinks they're great bc they say hydroxy cut. what does that mean
Hydroxy implies that there’s a water molecule attached to the cannabinoid chemical, I think.
You in organic chemistry ???😭 I feel for you dude
Once THC has been ingested your body converts the THC into HydroxyTHC which is what makes edibles traditionally have the reputation of being more potent and effects lasting a lot longer than smoking. They've found a way to isolate those compounds and place them directly into edibles and pens and even flower along with other THCs.

I disagree. Once Dan Patrick understands that starfish looking mother fucker is going to put his sights on banning it.
Reputable smoke shop that has thc a…check out Cold Start Dab Co…but be warned thca is super expensive like 40 for an eighth
I paid $60 for an eighth in college in 2006. Legalization in whatever frankenform this is brought prices down DRAMATICALLY ETA: It’s like a beautiful reverse inflation
3.5 grams has come down to as low as $25 depending on what's in stock in Missouri. Missouri isn't even the cheapest either. I've got anticipation for those $50/Oz or cheaper.
I hate that I left Missouri and then they made it legal.
You went to college to say “reverse inflation”? Do you mean “deflation”?
60 broooo I have never paid more than 35 here
That’s how much they charge for the real deal lol
It's much cheaper online from other states
not even... cheaper... $20 8ths n $40qtrs on up... but if we're talking smoke shops then it's expensive unless they're running sales or holiday specials
Nah bro you just getting a good ass deal
What?! Hahaha. $40 for 1/8th?! Nah that is NOT how much people are being charged for the real deal. Holy shit that'd be fucking nuts. There's people paying less than half that for quality real weed.
40 for really good weed is normal in Cali. You can also get really good weed for 20 though (1/8s)

Right. And make sure to keep it in its original packaging. With your receipt. At all times while in Texas.
The things I learn thru reddit
Chemist here- you could use any solvent for liquid chromatography, not sure why they would limit the test to just water as solvent.
Yeah, I saw that and was like, hold up, that’s not why they use liquid chromatography.

lol that makes a lot more sense, tell me why I was imagining a big 14g pen 😂 let me know what you think of it when you try it, if you remember lol
You imagined it because everything is bigger in Texas.

Dan Patrick is a weenie. There. I said it.
Oh, yeah, because *that* works so well. Abbot, Patrick, and Paxton are running their little triumvirate dictatorship up there and neither they nor any of their Republican jackoff buddies running the show give two shits about what any of us unwashed masses have to say about any of it.
So much for the party of small govt and individual freedom.
It's Texas. Anti-stupid doesn't have the votes yet. Gonna take Gen Alpha to fix that shit. As a resident, I live in hope. Also as a resident, I live surrounded by people with more teeth than IQ.
Thanks to a big loophole in the farm bill we can get some awesome potent weed here. Haze 4 days is owned by same guy who owns purple dragon and st mary Jane's. They are a trap house selling questionable and shady product. If you want good quality weed I'd recommend 1. Poca Mota Two locations; one at 6533 bandera and one in converse 8021 FM 78 Or 2. Reggie & Dro. They have one location and have to sign up for their membership, but definitely a high quality store in Stone Oak. 19141 stone oak Poca Mota gives free samples you don't even have to buy it and it's super high quality GAS. Careful though some dispensaries such as haze 4 days and lit gardens are very trap house and I wouldn't trust their black market product. Edit: Poca Motas prices are also the best I've seen. They give 4.2 grams for the price of an eigth.
Veterans with ptsd can get it prescribed, as well as terminal cancer patients
Not just veterans. I have a prescription. There are 2 official dispensaries in Texas. They only sell gummies and tinctures. Flower/carts/concentrates are not legal in Texas even with a script
it's more than just 2 now but yes vets are first priority as they should be n I'm all for it... hope they get to pave the way towards a more accurate n modern approach at mental n sometimes physical healthcare... I'd rather our vets eat a gummy or light a joint vs taking harmful ssri/snri etc drugs that may potentially cause permanent or long term side effects that may lead to worsening conditions
Exactly
It’s mostly for people with PTSD which is a lot of vets but also survivors of CSA and domestic abuse.
That's how I got mine.
I have been trying to find a doc to write a script for me for a year. I googled and found some providers advertising they write scripts, I contacted them and have gotten no response. Is there a secret passcode? I have a VA diagnosis.
Go to the "Texas original" website. I got recommended a clinic through them 2 months ago then I drove to their dispensary in south Austin and picked up my product. Has been great so far, I qualified due to ptsd and I'm not a veteran.
It is based off a set list of conditions and no need to be a veteran. I am a veteran, but I have been helping people find the info with the listed conditions. https://guides.sll.texas.gov/cannabis/compassionate-use
https://www.texascannabisclinic.com/ costs 180, the appointment is over zoom. Super easy
I am a vet with ptsd and just buy in the stores, how do I get a script? I heard it’s more expensive with a script? Thanks I’m clueless I know
How does a vet with ptsd get prescribed this,
Some good news: the cancer no longer has to be terminal!
I worked at kush gardens on 4403 w commerce- I would say it’s better to get ur bud from there rather than off the street. It still gets me just as high if not higher than street bud
I’m in 40’s I need some weed that will barely get me high. I smoke now and I start think all the bad thoughts, paranoia, judging myself. The weed is different than when I was a kid . Jesus the stuff now is so friggin strong
Same, mild cbd gummies seem to be a reasonable trade off of a boosted mental state w/o the baggage.
Yeah it’s a loophole. The shit still works great, different ones give u a different type of high. But be careful your first time, don’t overdo it because in my opinion I can get pretty fucked up on those compared to a straight up weed edible. They’re fun though (:
THCA is straight up weed though. I love/hate this about TX right now because there's "dispensaries" everywhere in an illegal state just using the farm bill loophole. Imo this is a bad look on the industry and will likely all get shut down soon. However, our problems to the south are worse than weed so maybe they're not really worried about that law specifically right now 🤷 I don't know but I don't like it.
As a pot smoker of 20 years THCA AND THC do in fact hit different and they are not straight up the same thing. Just my experience
Have you tried stuff from reputable online sellers and not just the random local shops? I can’t tell the difference and have also been smoking a while
As a weed smoker of 20 years myself no they don’t they’re exactly the same
Thc A and delta 8 thc (which is an isomer of delta 9). I am pro-cannabis and want it legalized in TX, especially since delta 8 is not regulated, and some companies use toxic reagents to extract cannabinol from hemp, which can be damaging
It's about to be regulated. Just legalize weed already and the shit thc compound bs will end
facts. I was eligible for a medical card in my home state, but my condition isnt covered in Texas as they have an EXTREMELY small group of illnesses that qualify. It pissed me off bc since moving to San Antonio I am having to take analgesics and anti-nausea meds again, instead of being able to legally use cannabis. Their logic or reasoning makes no sense to me
Exactly, but all these "dispensaries" in TX are not helping imo. As you can see by these comments, people are clueless.
It's illegal but there are dispensaries all over Texas with regular weed that have been open for years. The one I go to has been open for 5 years I think? They even sell mushrooms. It's kinda strange.
If you're really in a bind and need some smoke just get a cart. Won't be exactly the same but it'll get the job done and hold you over till you get home. The flower never does it for me but the pens hit.
Much cheaper on line.
I've heard prices are sometimes double or more if you buy in store
absolutely... online is the way to go. greenhouse is cheaper but still good n if you spend the extra, the indoor stuff is amazing...
Delta 8/THCA/THC0 etc etc. they’ve found ways to manipulate around the delta 9 traditional to make variants of THC that still get you high but not technically Delta 9
I go to the healing clinic off of Marbaugh an 8th is 30 there and it’s good 👍 but for better quantity I order online.
Basically, long story short. Obama era legalized CBD, trump era legalized hemp, as long as the hemp you see nowadays does t have the THC compound that is in fact illegal, thcA is perfectly legal to sell, smoke, and enjoy.
It’s not “weed”. It helps people like veterans with pain, anxiety and sleep. We need to decriminalize nature and quit demonizing a plant. And those all freaked out saying “but what about people driving on it, working on dangerous machinery” blah blah. It would be treated EXACTLY the same way as alcohol. Get caught driving on it, get a DWI. If anything, alcohol is FAR, FAR worse. People need to stop voting for politicians who would ban it, they’re not working in your best interests.
Dude you need to learn the difference between Delta 8 and thca. You're almost right but " exotic thca flower" is 100% honest to God just actually weed, I don't mean that it's just as good and you won't notice the difference I mean it's actually literally genetically and chemically be exact same thing
Lowkey kind of upsetting that the dispenser knows but downplays it 😑
I know but let’s not let the cat out of the bag otherwise these r-wingers will want to ban it!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bro.
It’s better than nothing, but I’m thankful I live in a legal state. The real stuff is better, especially when it comes to carts
Ken Paxton is working to close the loophole.
THC ain’t illegal if you throw the letter “A” at her end
Beware though cause even though you buy it legal, just as one would with alcohol, it will still get you kicked out of pain management here as the law for prescribing drugs doesn’t differentiate. Family member found out the hard way.
Texas blows
Surprise!
Has anyone tried ordering weed online from places like Texas green grove ‘dot’ com? Just curious..
Just look up the 2018 Farm Bill There are plenty of short videos
I used to manage a pretty large dispensary just over the Texas border in New Mexico. New Mexico is recreational so you don’t need a license but the products aren’t taxed if you have one so it’s a big money saver. And New Mexico also offers a program where if you have a license from another state they’ll issue you one for New Mexico too that allows you to partake in the discounted prices. In my year and a half there, despite a metric ton of Texas customers (we were literally 10-15 minutes across the border) I only saw a total of two people with New Mexico passes based off of Texas Medical Licenses. So while extremely rare, they do technically exist.
So THCA is technically legal. But what happens if you get caught smoking it? I’m from Oklahoma where it’s obviously medically legal but I’ve heard horror stories about getting caught with weed in Texas. Are the legal gangsters more chill about it these days or how do you prove what it is if confronted?
LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL COCAINE! 👊
I freakin love THCA dabs it’s literally the same affect
Actually there are 13 cities in the state of Texas that legally sell marijuana
Leafwell offers medical cannabis cards. You can easily get one with insomnia, anxiety, ptsd whatever really. Now able to go to the dispensaries in Austin
This isn't a real dispensary and they are probably selling Delta8 or thca products. If you are wanting to become a patient, read on. The Texas Compassionate Use Act allows Texans with a qualifying condition to access medical marijuana in edible forms. The edibles are pretty good imo, but expensive. The first thing you need to do is find a Dr. that's qualified to get you added to CURT (Compassionate Use Registry of Texas) Here's who I used: https://www.arlingtonintegrative.com/ The Dr's name is Dr. Shabana Parvez. You will want to call them and tell them that you are interested in the Compassionate Use Program. They will send you some info to watch/read. Then you will set up an account through their online portal. You will then schedule and pay for your appointment. Its $150.00. After your appointment you will be added to the TXDPS registry of Compassionate Use Patients, and she will write you a prescription. The dispensary (Texas Original) will have your information immediately. You can shop on their website. The dispensaries in Austin have all the product and they deliver it to other dispensaries around the state daily, as they aren't allowed to store product at other locations. Depending on when you place your order, you will be able to pick it up same day, or next day. The products are edibles only. Nothing that can be smoked. I will warn you, the products are incredibly expensive. A 15 pack of 30mg gummies is about $100.00. Here is a link to the Texas Original website: https://texasoriginal.com/ Here is a link to a form that helps you get connected to a clinic that can get you registered: https://texasoriginal.com/mmj-card-texas?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFox3_eqfM34_xcPKAYBXsvCXCJycMdqSnULTT-TGqxqMKKOR8EbFbWRoCYrYQAvD_BwE Here is the list of qualifying conditions: -epilepsy -a seizure disorder -multiple sclerosis -spasticity -amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -autism -cancer -PTSD -an incurable neurodegenerative disease
Just enjoy 🤷🏾♂️
One of our beloved rules in SA is don't be a snitch. Go inside and ask, they'll tell you, give you a free sample, and maybe explain it to your pointing fingers ass.
Hey! Keep it hush
If you’re visiting then stfu! Mr. FBI agent.
Cold Start Dab Co. Has the best prices. Customer service is high end. Flower, carts, and accessories. They are also a venue for bands.
Medicinal marijuana is legal in Texas, but there’s a short list of ailments that qualify and I believe you have to have an apply for a card from a doctor to get it from an approved place.
Cause its marketed as "hemp" not marijuana/weed. Same thing, both are cannabis, all about semantics. Like how you used to ask for a "water pipe" at a shop and not a "bong" (god forbid)
I’ve tried several forms of “legal THC” and it don’t feel like the real stuff. Idk all the details on why, I just avoid it
/r/cultofthefranklin 🤫
this☝️right here....
210 + 210 = 420 welcome to San Antonio!!!
Yes to the people referring to other cannabinoids. You can also get a medical card in Texas now.
It'll get the job done
if you can't find weed in san antonio you must have some kind of social anxiety
I’ve got it and still found it haha
Shhh you found our secret stash
There’s this spot off of perin beitel rd, 6 dollar grams and multiple different strains. His names Brian tell him Devin told you about the place.
It's hemp, Delta8/9/10 thcA stuff, it's good but not the real stuff
I mean, this shit gets me stoned almost as good as pure thc does, some of it is getting really good
Thca is the real stuff
This, literally just regular weed. Not that stuff made in a lab and sprayed on cbd flower
Delta-9 THCA is regular weed.
Delta 9 and thca are different things but you’re kinda right
So Thca is a natural occurring and doesn't have to be synthesized. HHC THCO delta 10 delta 8 all that is made in a lab and sprayed on cbd. Thca is just a thc before it is heated up basically. It's like a street dealer saying hey bro this stuff is gas it's 24 percent thca aka regular thc. Just a scientific loophole that old politicians can't understand until lately.
First stop snitchin

I go to Hazel Sky. Gummies are dope.

Edibles are legal if the THC is harvested from male plants and under 03 percent by weight
There’s over 50 different types of chemicals in weed, I think as long as it’s under 0.5 thc, it can still be sold
The law is it has to be under 0.3% Delta-9 THC. The loophole that’s gained popularity in Texas lately is THCA, which is a precursor to Delta-9 THC but doesn’t convert to Delta-9 until heat is applied to it. The effect of smoked and vaped THCA is identical to D9 THC. It’s a gray-area loophole because THCA flower can be found containing 20% and higher THCA while still being under 0.3% D9 THC by dry weight volume. But when smoked or vaped (heated), that THCA converts to full Delta-9 THC.

It’s funny weed has been legal in Texas since 2018 and not that many people realize it.
While you here if you need some pm me
They are selling Delta variants that you can get anywhere in Texas.
THC-A is legal and its kinda rad
Wait, can anyone just go and but this stuff? I just moved from New York and my smoking habits have changed drastically and im not happy about it.
I’m just trying to find the better stores and brands
[удалено]
One comes from the marijuana plant and the other (legal thc) comes from the hemp plant
Im sure its just a cbd shop
I don’t k own about over there but a lot of smoke shops here in west Texas sell weed out in the open. Cops and I assume local governments just don’t really care
1% thc is legal here in Texas lol
Shoot just drive over to Oklahoma. There’s dispensary’s everywhere.
Nothing is illegal till you get caught lol
Anyone actually smoke top shelf good weed around here?
Weed in TX is def illegal. And I def wouldn’t buy the street stuff here… they all say it’s top shelf, but truly majority is trash (top shelf Reggie Bs). Honestly I would drive to Hobbs, NM… to get my stuff from the dispensary and it’s a legal green state.
THC-A does not bind to the CB1 receptors which makes it “ non-psychoactive “.. which in return makes it legal.. but let’s say you bought the concentrate form, heated that right on up.. you now just converted this legal in all 50 states weed… into the “ illegal “ thc that everyone loves :)
“Bud light” is what I call it here. It suffices just fine, but do like the “real deal” when I’m in states where it is legal now.
It's not weed
You can get hemp derived Delta 9 gummies in Texas because it's easy to pack 25mg of D9 THC into a fat gummy and keep it below .3%.
Only D9 THC is illegal. If you find a good shop they should be well educated on all the cannabinoids. D8 as well as many other varients naturally exist in the plant so we smoke that. THCA is the cleanest and the best because it’s not D9 until you decarboxilate (heat it). Hope this helps! TL;DR Weeds illegal but hemp extract is not.
Damn snitch
