The Problem With Cheap THCA Flower No One Talks About

You see it everywhere: “$40 ounces,” “bargain THCA,” “gas on a budget.” Sounds like a steal, right?

Here’s the problem: cheap THCA flower comes with costs you don’t see on the label—and by the time you feel it (or don’t), it’s too late.

If you care about what you’re inhaling—and want your money’s worth—this is what you need to know.

🚨 Most Cheap THCA Flower Is Sprayed Garbage

Let’s keep it real. When you see rock-bottom prices, there’s a high chance the “THCA” flower was:

• Sprayed with Delta-8 or Delta-9 isolate

• Grown outdoors with poor cure

• Covered in sugar leaf to bulk up weight

• Lacking in terpenes, freshness, or actual potency

You’re not buying premium cannabis. You’re buying industrial hemp dressed up in mylar.

🧪 No COA? No Confidence.

One dead giveaway? No lab results. Or worse—just a one-line “total cannabinoids” number with no terpene data, no safety panel, no transparency.

At ThisThatCBD, we:

• Require full-panel COAs for every strain

• Cross-check THCA, total cannabinoids, and dominant terpenes

• Only sell flower we’d actually smoke ourselves

🤢 What You Can’t See Can Hurt You

Cheap flower often means:

• Pesticides or heavy metals

• Improperly flushed nugs with chemical aftertaste

• Mold or moisture issues from poor storage

• Zero terpene presence, which affects effects and enjoyment

That “deal” cart or $40 ounce could be doing more harm than good.

💨 Looks Good, Smokes Terrible

Not all pretty bud is quality. And not all THCA is created equal.

We’ve tested “budget” flower that:

• Falls apart into dust when ground

• Smells faint or sour (a sign of improper cure)

• Hits like hay, not hash — harsh, dry, and forgettable

Compare that to true indoor THCA flower: dense, terp-rich, sticky, flavorful, and smooth.

🧠 Why We Vet Every Strain

At ThisThatCBD, we don’t sell whatever’s trending. We:

• Curate small-batch indoor flower

• Work directly with trusted cultivators and extractors

• Pull strains that don’t meet our standards—even if they sell

Because it’s not just about THC %. It’s about:

• Terpenes (how it feels)

• Freshness (how it tastes)

• Trust (what you aren’t being told)

🌟 Real Fire. No Filler.

Yes, our prices may be higher than the “bargain bin” guys. But that’s because we’re selling:

• Real indoor-grown THCA

• Verified lab-tested bud

• Properly cured and terpene-rich strains

This is cannabis done right—not sprayed hemp in a shiny bag.
