THCa, a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, is the precursor to Delta-9 THC, which is known for its psychoactive effects. However, THCa itself does not produce these effects unless it is heated or smoked, at which point it converts to Delta-9 THC and becomes intoxicating. Notably, THCa in its natural form is fully legal at the federal level.

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, often referred to as the Farm Bill, legalized hemp production and removed hemp and its seeds from the DEA's Controlled Substances list. Consequently, hemp-derived THCa with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight is legal. All products available on itsverde.com adhere to these regulations.
