Hemp Education Guide
Welcome to Harvey’s Hemp Co. 🌾
At Harvey’s Hemp Co., we believe good hemp sells itself—but smart customers still deserve the facts. This page is your quick-read guide to hemp, THCA, and how to get the best out of every bud we carry.
1. Hemp 101 🌿
Same plant, different label. Hemp is simply cannabis that tests below 0.3% Δ‑9 THC by dry weight. Keep it under that number, and Uncle Sam calls it hemp—not marijuana.
-
Eco-Friendly: Grows fast, sips water, shrugs off pests
-
Versatile: From textiles to tinctures, hemp does a little of everything
-
Non-Intoxicating (until heated): Raw hemp won’t get you high—fire changes that (see THCA below)
2. THCA Explained 💎
THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the natural, non-psychoactive form of THC found in raw hemp flower.
-
Heat = Magic: Spark, bake, or vape it and THCA becomes Δ‑9 THC—the cannabinoid that gets you lifted
-
Why We Love It: Pure, potent, and federally compliant until you decarb it
-
Harvey’s Promise: Every strain is third-party lab tested; COAs live on each product page
3. From Field to Jar 🌱
We work with a select network of trusted hemp farms across the U.S.—each one chosen for quality, freshness, and sustainable practices.
-
Farm-Direct Sourcing: Always curated, never corporate
-
Cold-Cure Process: Slow-curing locks in terpenes and potency
-
Vac-Seal Packaging: Scent-blocking bags inside plain boxes. Discreet + fresh
Storage Tip: Keep flower cool, dark, and dry—airtight jars work best
4. How to Enjoy THCA Flower 🔥
Method | Onset | Why Choose It |
---|---|---|
Smoke (pipe/joint) | 1–3 min | Fast, flavorful, classic ritual |
Dry-Herb Vape | 2–5 min | Cleaner taste, less odor |
Edibles | 30–90 min | Longest-lasting effects |
Tinctures/Oils | 15–30 min | Precise dosing, no combustion |
Topicals | Local only | No high—just targeted relief |
🧠 Start low, go slow. You can always take another puff—can’t un-take one.
