THCA Potency Cap

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 216

A regulatory limit imposed by certain jurisdictions on the maximum allowable THC or THCA concentration in cannabis products. Vermont caps flower at 30% activated THC and concentrates at 60% (with 10% variance to 66%).

Trainer from Weeping Willow in Vermont explained that these caps mean excellent batches that test slightly above the limit cannot be sold as flower or concentrate and must instead be processed into vapes or edibles, which he called 'a shame.' The discussion paralleled Quebec's similar 30% cap, highlighting how potency regulations can inadvertently penalize quality producers while doing little to address consumer education.
