THC powder, or powdered cannabis, is a crystalline powder that contains the cannabinoid THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. This form of THC allows for precise dosing and versatile consumption methods thanks to its flavorless, water-soluble properties. THC powder represents a novel approach to cannabis consumption.

THC powder consists of pure tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, and possibly other non-cannabis additions, such as tapioca starch or coconut oil. There is also THC powder that contains CBD, allowing you to customize your experience to your preferences. The cannabis powder form offers a potent and concentrated experience compared to traditional methods of cannabis consumption.

The production of powdered cannabinoids involves extracting THC from cannabis plants and purifying it. This process typically includes the use of solvents and advanced extraction techniques to isolate THC and then turn it into a powder. This is doubly difficult because cannabinoids are hydrophobic, which means they hate water. This is why we make cannabutter and canna-oil—the cannabinoids stick to fat. 

To make water-soluble THC, a THC distillate is emulsified, breaking it down into tiny pieces that coat the surfactants used in the emulsification process. Once the THC is coating the surfactants, water has to be removed from the final product. This process can take several days and requires the use of specialized ovens. But when it’s finished, we are left with THC powder that can be added to anything—even a regular glass of water.

One of the reasons THC powder is storming the market is because it can be consumed just about any way you like, offering flexibility to consumers. Some common ways to consume THC powder include:

• Infused Beverages: THC powder can be added to just about any beverage, creating infused drinks that have no hint of cannabis flavor. You can add THC powder to coffee, lemonade, soda, sports drinks, and just about anything else you can think of. This allows for a discreet and enjoyable way to consume cannabis. 
  
  

• DIY Edibles: If you make your own edibles, you’re going to want to try THC powder. With THC powder, you don’t have the hassle of decarboxylating flower and infusing it into oil or butter. Eating a bowl of popcorn and wanting to make it into an edible? Pour some cannabis powder over it. Want to turn your favorite plate of spaghetti into an intoxicating experience? Add THC powder. Because it’s flavorless, it won’t change the taste of any recipe.
  
  

• Pill Capsules: THC powder can be encapsulated for precise and convenient dosing. Simply purchase empty capsules - online, local pharmacy, vitamin store, etc. - and fill them with the powder. It’s important to find the right THC amount for your endocannabinoid system, so we always recommend starting low and going slow. And if you’re unsure, you can consult with your medical professional.

It’s no surprise that we get a lot of questions about powdered THC. It’s new to the market, and cannabis enthusiasts want to know what to do with it. Here are a few answers to questions you may want to ask:

Can you snort THC powder?
No. Do not snort THC powder. Our bodies are not designed to process THC in this manner, and it can lead to some significant health problems, including damaging your mucous membranes and even damaging your septum.

How long does it take THC powder to work?
If you’re used to consuming edibles, you might think THC powder has the same wait time as traditional edibles. The truth is, THC powder works much faster within the system, and you could feel its effects as soon as 20 minutes after taking it.

How much cannabis powder should I use?
Like all cannabis products, the right dosage depends on your tolerance levels and experience. We always recommend starting low. That way, you can avoid any unpleasant, long-lasting experiences because you consumed too much.

Sold on THC powder? You’re not alone. We suggest checking out your local dispensary’s online menu to see if they carry THC powder. Of course, if they don’t, just talk to your budtender and let them know you’re interested. They may be more inclined to get some in stock if they know their customers are interested.
