Hi all, just curious to know a little about your experiences with these alternative cannabinoids.

I've read some interesting things (I think HHC is supposed to be insanely strong), and also some worrying things about lung pain. This worries me as my lungs are quite important as I need them to breathe most days.

Grateful for any info you can provide.

I don’t know about the others but THCA is just the undecarboxylated form of THC. It turns into THC when you smoke or dab it. If you look at a typical concentrate, it’s 90+ THCA. THCA is not psychoactive without being decarboxylated.That’s also why vape pens have THC and not THCA - they don’t get hot enough to transform it.

    Different than what? Almost all dabs are THCA . Only vape cartridges are THC. Like I said go look at the breakdown of cannabinoids in ANY concentrate for sale in Colorado and it’s mainly THCA. Not because theyre trying to have some alternative cannabinoids, but because they’re made from fresh, not dried, cannabis and that’s how it comes in the plant.

    Strange, maybe I am simply doing the dabs wrong. The stuff I get in texas is significantly weaker than just smoking a joint. I have to use a lot of it to get an equivalent high and it still feels off. 🤷

    Edit: i fucked up the original comment and made incomprehensible because I didn't delete a word

    Yeah I like that sometimes. I don't get high every day, mainly just at the weekends when I want to totally unwind. That "stoneover" feeling can be lovely (if what you're talking about is similar to the after-effects you sometimes get the day after smoking a lot or taking an edible).

    For me personally, HHC is a little less strong than regular Δ9, but I get none of the anxiety with it. THC-A just turns into regular Δ9 when heated. The phorols (THCP and HHCP) are the incredibly strong ones, and I’ve had 2mg of HHCP make me high for a solid 24 hours before.

    I’d highly recommend checking out Turkey’s site and info sheets for all things alt noids

    I dry herb vaporize legal thca flower. Gotta get it from a reputable lab testing supplier and look at percentages and terp profiles. High wise its the same thing.
