THCA Is Not “Fake Weed” — Here’s the Proof

There’s a lot of noise out there. We’ve heard it all: “Pacific Green sells fake weed,” “It’s just sprayed hemp,” “You can only trust the dispensaries.” But here’s the truth: the majority of what our local competitors sell isn’t even high-THC flower — it’s THCA flower, the exact same type of cannabis we offer at Pacific Green.

What Is THCA, and Why Does It Matter?

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the natural, raw form of THC found in cannabis before it’s heated. When you light it, vape it, or bake it, THCA converts into Delta-9 THC — the psychoactive compound responsible for the “high.”

This means: THCA is real cannabis. It’s not fake. It’s not synthetic. It’s not “sprayed” anything. It’s the same compound, just in its raw legal form.

So Why the Confusion?

Our competitor, a state-licensed dispensary, sells THCA flower — exactly like we do — but at significantly higher prices. Because they’re licensed, people assume their products are better, stronger, or more legitimate.

Meanwhile, some of their staff and supporters have gone around spreading lies about us: that we sell fake weed, that our flower is hemp sprayed with oil, that it’s not “real” because it’s not sold in a dispensary.

Let’s put those lies to rest right now.

Proof: Same Strain, Side-by-Side

We recently visited that same local dispensary and bought an 1/8th of Bruce Banner flower — a strain they currently offer.

Then, we bought the same strain from our own Pacific Green inventory – the exact same strain, backed by third-party lab results.

We Sell the Same Products — For Less

Let’s be clear: Pacific Green doesn’t sell fake weed. We sell the same flower found in dispensaries — sometimes even from the same supplier — but we pass the savings on to you. Why? Because we don’t have inflated markup, licensing bloat, or unnecessary layers of overhead.

Our Promise

• ✅ All flower is third-party lab tested
• ✅ No “sprayed” hemp or synthetic cannabinoids
• ✅ Transparent sourcing — just ask to see the COA
• ✅ Fair pricing on real, premium cannabis

Don’t Let Misinformation Win

Before you spend $40+ on the same flower in different packaging, ask yourself:

• 🌿 Is it THCA flower? (Yes — in both places)
• 🧪 Is it lab-tested? (Yes — both, but we have every COA on our website)
• 💵 Is it worth paying $10+ more for the same product?
