What’s it like smoking THC-O dominant bud?
THC acetate ester, popularly called THC-O or THC-O-acetate, is one of the most common synthetic forms of cannabinoids.
Over the years, chemists around the world have tried to create a perfect synthetic product with the precise effects of cannabis plants. To this end, cannabis compounds have been converted into various chemical structures, some of which are not naturally produced in the plant. There are currently dozens of cannabis variants, each with their own unique properties and side effects. Some of these cannabinoids have been extensively modified for specific purposes, while the rest can be extracted from hemp and cannabis plants.
What is THC-O?
THC-O is a synthetic cannabinoid with higher potency than most synthetic products. The compound was designed to give users a more intense high, although like natural cannabis, the level of reception varies among users. But mostly, the product offers users a magical and enchanting experience.
Bay Smokes, a well-known cannabis brand that makes pre-rolled joints, revealed that some of their products are packed with premium THC-O flower and concentrates. The company grows hybrid THC-O buds indoors, working hand-in-hand with licensed laboratories to test the potency and general properties of the cannabinoid before infusing it into regular cannabis products and releasing it to the public. The company has most of these test results on its website so consumers can confirm that the products are safe for consumption.
Cannabis lovers who have tried THC-O and other forms of THC claim that the former is stronger than the latter. They indicated that THC acetate ester induces a more relaxing effect accompanied by a trippy high. The Fed has yet to acknowledge the existence of this form of THC as it was created in a lab. Some scientists have also clarified that the drug has yet to undergo standard drug identification procedures.
How THC-O is made
This new cannabinoid is a synthetic analogue of natural THC. It was first created in a lab by chemists, but is now being mass-produced through unusual cannabis technology.
In order to create THC-O, a series of extractions must be performed. Cannabidiol (CBD) is first extracted from hemp plants (most prefer to use hemp plants because they are federally legal). Delta-8 THC is then extracted from the CBD. Once that is done, the extract is combined with the organic solvent, acetic anhydride, to give the THC acetate ester. This new extract is tasteless and odorless, but has an extremely high level of potency. Further action to metabolize or activate THC-O results in a bioavailable form of delta-9-THC. This means that when this acetate ester enters the body, it converts into a highly potent delta-9-THC with no effects other than its nighttime potency.
Companies like Bay Smokes grow their cannabis plants in isolated indoor spaces because the conditions are much easier to control. Most of these plants are grown without lights to ensure they are ideal for THC-O infusions. The result is strains with high CBD and THC-O levels and a potency of around 22%.
How safe is THC-O?
In the early 2000s, when Spice and K2 (both synthetic forms of THC) became mainstream, tests showed that they produced no effects similar to natural cannabinoids. They have been labeled as unsafe and non-classic variants of THC. This raises questions about the safety of THC-O, mainly because there is limited information on the substance.
THC acetate ester has been observed to possess a chemical profile identical to delta-9 and delta-8 THC variants. Unlike the unhealthy smoking products created in the 2000s, THC-O can be traced back to natural cannabis plants.
There is currently no data to suggest that THC acetate ester is dangerous or unfit for consumption. Instead, the available (anecdotal) data suggests that THC-O offers users greater therapeutic benefits, especially when used as an alternative to edible tinctures. It is best suited for patients who have an increasingly higher tolerance to THC. With THC-O, patients suffering from chronic pain management will do better with THC-O than with traditional cannabis products. It’s important to note that users claim it’s best not to smoke THC. They suggest that the “prodrug” nature of THC-O makes it essential that the drug be activated prior to consumption.
Methods of consumption and effects of THC-O
THC-O can be infused into any product. It can be made in oil or concentrate form. It’s capable too. After taking THC-O, the effects are not immediate. The user begins to feel the results of the cannabinoid around five minutes after consumption. This delayed effect is more pronounced in products without cutting agents and gives them a distinctive look. The taste is similar to that of neutral CO2 oil.
The THC-O products keep users feeling calm and mellow, but they also give them enough energy and motivation to engage in other activities. Lovers of THC-O products mention that each dose comes with a unique experience. If a person consumes a standard edible dose for a week or more at a time, the effects of each day will be different than the last. In addition, users usually report different feelings. Some use it as a sleep or relaxation aid, while others use it to boost their creative juices.
Can everyone use THC-O?
THC-O is best used by patients with a high tolerance to natural THC. The product serves as a panacea for patients who depend on high doses of THC. Inexperienced or inexperienced cannabis users will have the least benefit from these products as they lack the imaginative feel, taste and aromas normally associated with natural cannabinoids.
last words
According to studies by the Honest Marijuana Company, THC-O has exciting potential. Its ability to trick the system while delivering THC ingredients is something to watch out for. This drug can be modified to produce other psychedelic effects. Finally, as long as the origin of THC-O can be traced back to federally legal hemp, you can consider it legal. The length of its legality is still uncertain as federal authorities have yet to clear the gray area in which it exists.
