THCA Carts

Do THCA vapes get you high?

Yes, absolutely! While THCA itself is non-psychoactive in raw form, the moment you vape it, the heat converts THCA into active THC. This means you’ll experience the same uplifting, relaxing, or balanced effects you’d expect from traditional cannabis vapes. The strength is comparable to regular Delta-9 THC products, so start with small puffs if you’re new to vaping.

Are THCA cartridges legal?

THCA cartridges exist in a unique legal space. Because THCA is non-psychoactive until heated, products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. This allows us to ship THCA carts nationwide from Asheville Dispensary. However, state laws vary, so we recommend checking your local regulations before purchasing.

All our THCA products undergo rigorous third-party lab testing to ensure compliance and safety.

How long do THCA cartridges last?

The lifespan of your THCA cart depends on several factors:

• Usage frequency: Light users might make a 1-gram cart last several weeks, while daily users may finish it in a few days
• Puff size and duration: Longer, deeper draws use more oil
• Cart size: Our THCA carts come in various sizes, with 1-gram being the most popular

For storage, keep your THCA carts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain potency and prevent premature decarboxylation.

How do I use a THCA vape cartridge?

Using THCA carts is simple:

• Attach the cart to a compatible 510-thread battery
• Check compatibility – most standard vape batteries work perfectly
• Start small – take 1-2 small puffs and wait 10-15 minutes to gauge effects
• Adjust as needed – THCA is potent, so less is often more

Many of our customers prefer button-activated batteries for better control, though draw-activated options work well too.

What’s the difference between THCA carts and regular THC carts?

The main differences are legal and practical:

• Legal status: THCA carts are federally legal and can be shipped nationwide, while traditional THC carts are only legal in specific states
• Testing requirements: THCA carts must contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC in their raw form
• Effects: Once heated, both provide virtually identical experiences
• Availability: You can order THCA carts online from Asheville Dispensary regardless of your location

Do THCA cartridges show up on drug tests?

Yes, THCA cartridges can cause positive drug tests. Since THCA converts to THC when vaped, your body processes it the same way as traditional THC. Drug tests typically look for THC metabolites, which will be present after using THCA products. If you’re subject to drug testing, avoid THCA products just as you would any THC products.

What strains are available in THCA cartridges?

At Asheville Dispensary, we offer THCA carts in various strain profiles:

• Sativa strains for energizing, uplifting effects perfect for daytime use
• Indica strains for relaxation and evening wind-down
• Hybrid strains for balanced experiences throughout the day

Each strain maintains its unique terpene profile, delivering authentic flavors and effects you’d expect from premium cannabis flower. Learn more about how terpenes affect your experience in our Understanding Cannabis Terpenes guide and explore Cannabis Species vs Cannabis Strains.

How should I store my THCA cartridges?

Proper storage keeps your THCA carts fresh and potent:

• Temperature: Store in cool, room temperature environments (avoid heat sources)
• Light: Keep away from direct sunlight which can degrade cannabinoids
• Position: Store upright to prevent leaking
• Humidity: Dry environments prevent condensation issues

Excessive heat can trigger unwanted decarboxylation, converting THCA to THC before you’re ready to use it.

Are THCA carts safe to use?

When purchased from reputable sources like Asheville Dispensary, THCA carts are safe for adult use. We ensure safety through:

• Third-party lab testing for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents
• High-quality extraction methods using clean, organic cannabis
• Proper manufacturing standards in certified facilities
