THCa flower has changed the legal cannabis game and brought a phenomenal alternative form of THC to restrictive states like ours. Perfect Plant offers a wide selection of THCa strains online and in our shops.

While THCa is non-intoxicating, heat  —  like the heat from, say, a lighter  —  rapidly converts the molecule into good old delta-9 THC. As a result, the product has a lot of similarities with other illegal options and many are switching to the legal alternative.

Whatever you look for in a strain, we’ve likely got a great option for you somewhere on our shelves. If you, like me, find it hard to choose with so many options, we’re here to help make the decision easier.

Here’s where I rank the top 10 strains sold by Perfect Plant:
