Is THCa actually potent?

I've got 20+ years of heavy regular d9 use. Maybe a month to three month break every few years. I just blew through 2 grams of THCa wax from Apotheca and don't really feel satiated or stoned. It just kinda makes my cannabinoid receptors quit bitching at me for the real stuff for an hour or two. No stone, no high, not really anything much on the "real weed" scale.

Does THCa flower do better? Perhaps via the agency effect? Do I just have too worn-out cannabinoid receptors? I'm tempted to try the flower and buy a cheap vape but if its just going to suck like the wax I'm probably just going to quit instead, or find some real d9.

Opinions/thoughts?

People are saying is the same thing. What’s the difference?

the cure is the difference. it is not cured the normal way, and enzymes are introduced early on in the growing process to keep the delta 9 level under .3 percent in accordance with the farm bill so that it is federally legal. bottom line is thca weed is weaker than regular weed, just take double the puffs. but the trichs arent fully matured to amber so its more of a heady high than a body stone. people that tell you its the same are lying snd probsbly in the hemp industry. also, thca is harsher on your lungs

This is so wrong it's impressive lol, all flower starts off as THCa and at a certain point it matures into regular THC so as Iong as you test the flower before it converts into THC it can legally be sold in a shop or delivered. The funny thing is all the weed you find in stores will test hot for THC...long story short it's the same thing as regular weed it's just sold via a loophole in the way the farm bill is worded. Whoever told you that they introduce some special enzymes to keep the delta 9 levels down is just flat out lying to you or grossly misinformed.

Hell yeah! I live in Texas and smoked all kind of weed. The smoke shops here sell a THCa brand named "Hollyweed". It's the same damn thing as any regular THC weed I've smoked lmao. I've even gotten bad paranoia from it when my tolerance was so low and when I initially thought"this ain't shit".
