FAQ

THCa, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a naturally occurring compound found in raw hemp flower.

At Peaceful Pines Hemp Farm, we produce premium THCa hemp flower known for its rich cannabinoid profile, smooth aroma, and exceptional quality. Our products are low in Delta-9 THC and fully Farm Bill compliant.

Yes! Our THCa flower is 100% federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. This legislation allows for the cultivation and sale of hemp products with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Since THCa is not Delta-9 THC, our flower remains within legal limits.
We’re proud to offer compliant, lab-tested hemp flower with high THCa content that meets federal regulations. Please note that some states have local restrictions, so we recommend checking your state’s hemp laws. You can also visit our Shipping page to see where we currently ship Peaceful Pines hemp flower.

CBG (cannabigerol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are non-psychoactive cannabinoids that naturally occur in hemp. While they won’t get you high, they’re known for supporting mental clarity, relaxation, and overall body balance.
CBG is often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid” because other cannabinoids are derived from it. CBD, on the other hand, is celebrated for its calming, anti-inflammatory effects. When combined with THCa, these cannabinoids work synergistically in what’s known as the “entourage effect,” enhancing both the therapeutic benefits and overall experience of hemp flower.
Our Peaceful Pines strains are thoughtfully bred to deliver optimal levels of THCa, CBG, and CBD—providing a well-rounded, full-spectrum product designed to support your wellness goals.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in hemp and many other plants. They’re responsible for the unique scent and flavor profiles of each hemp flower strain and also contribute to the overall effects.
At Peaceful Pines Hemp Farm, our THCa flower is packed with naturally occurring terpenes that enhance not only the aroma and taste but also the therapeutic experience. Here are some of the most common terpenes in our strains:

CARYOPHYLLENE  – Pepper, Woody, Spicy

MYRCENE – Earthy, Herbal

LIMONENE – Citrus, Lemon, Orange

TERPINENE – Pine, Spicy

LINALOOL – Lavender, Floral, Spicy

BISABOLOL – Fruity, Nutty, Earthy

HUMULENE -Earthy, hoppy

PINENE – Pine, Woody
