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. 🤷
