Does Hemp Flower Get You High?
It depends on what type of hemp flower you’re buying. THCa hemp flower produces psychoactive effects when consumed. CBD hemp flower does not – it contains negligible THC and is bred specifically for non-intoxicating use.
Both are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, but they’re very different products. THCa hemp flower contains 22–28% THCa by dry weight — a compound that produces the same effects as cannabis when consumed. CBD hemp flower is bred for high cannabidiol content with minimal THCa, and won’t produce a noticeable intoxicating effect for most people.
The fastest way to tell which you’re buying: check the COA. A THCa percentage above 15% is a clear signal the product is intoxicating. A product leading with CBD content and showing minimal THCa is non-intoxicating. TribeTokes carries THCa flower – it is an intoxicating product intended for adults 21 and older.
