THCA Diamonds: What are they?
The by-products of cannabis can come in many forms; with THC-A crystalline being a bit newer to the market of concentrates, very few people know much about this type of crystal and its makeup.
Generally, THC-A diamonds or diamond extracts are formed when exposed to heat, TCH-A being the purest form of THC, and will remain dormant until heated into its intoxicating state, producing the classic high from cannabis.
Diamonds are just another term for the translucent structures that can be found in sauce, a cannabis extract with high levels of terpenes and provides a runny texture.
These extracts have been said not to be purchased by newbie customers but instead enthusiasts who desire to experience new levels of potency.
How are they made?
Once a highly guarded trade secret, the production of THCA is more openly available for customers in this day and age.
These Canadian diamond extracts are said to be “mined” from live resin and gathered from fresh marijuana plants; after being flash-frozen (induced in low heat and high pressure), new terpenes can be harvested and placed into a pressure oven to create the diamonds.
Only to come out of this pressurized cooker to be packaged or to be sold as-is.
Can THCA diamonds get you high?
THC-A diamonds produced from dormant cannabis cannot get you high. If smoked in that state, it will not produce psychoactive effects or give that happy feeling when inhaling THC.
Instead, heating it will create the high feeling you are looking for once transformed into its purest form.
How do I smoke THCA crystals:
THCA diamonds can be treated as any other cannabis concentrate you come across, while the process itself for smoking some isn’t very different from the way wax, hash oil, or shatter is prepared.
Smoking:
A pinch of THCA is excellent for making a significant addition to a bowl of weed or even a joint, packing that punch to turn your quick buzz into a severe high.
The best way to smoke crystals is to mash them up if the diamonds are in their pure state of turpentine sauce; if they are not in this state and comes as both diamonds and sauce, it would be best to mash it up as finely as possible and to roll it into your ground-up cannabis flower.
It’s also good to remember once pulverizing the diamonds in any form; they will be ready to smoke.
Dabbing:
Dabbing diamonds can be done the same as any other marijuana concentrates you utilize in your dab rig daily.
Though you’ll likely want terpenes sauce to already be on top of your diamonds as doing it yourself is a bit messy, it will always be in a state that is good and ready to dab away.
Vaporizing:
If you are an avid smoker and own a vaporizing machine that can handle solid concentrates, THCA diamonds can also be used inside.
Vaporizing can be considered the most effective method of inhaling cannabis and is regarded as one of the healthiest.
If the diamond is covered in sauce, make sure your vaporizer can handle semi-solid and liquid concentrates.
So, what’s the hype?
THCA diamonds are a unique cannabis concentrate that offers a different experience for those who choose to use it for the first time.
Due to its rare form and high potency many sought out these gems in search of a one-of-a-kind high, something that should not be missed for cannabis enthusiasts.
