THCA afaik is grouped with THC in the UK - So it would be illegal. I'd personally not mess with flowers that aren't prescribed.

This is what I've just been reading .

What is THCA? Is THCA Legal in the UK?

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. THCA is the non-psychoactive precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary compound responsible for the high feeling associated with cannabis use. Most of us associate cannabis with its...

19. The acid precursors [footnote 4] to THC include 2-carboxyl ∆9-THC (also referred to as ∆9-THCA-A) and 4-carboxyl ∆9-THC (also referred to as ∆9-THCA-B), and will be jointly referred to here as “THC-A”. As an isolated substance, in its pure form, THC-A would not be controlled under the MDA 1971.

It's the delta 9 (∆9) THC that's the controlled psychoactive substance for the Misuse of Drugs Act, from memory....

In its pure form isolated it says ok but the flower contains it ,which is where any illegality would be as all flower contains it, so to me suggests isolates ok that contain thca but not flower.

The problem is it converts to THC very easily and something that tested fine on the COA months later could be illegal.

Right so it could leave USA being fine ,then fail on arrival in UK just by ambient heat effect decarbing it.

Yeah, many headshops here found that out the hard way.

Well, let them try to prosecute me...

Based on current CPS guidance regarding context of a THC user (they specifically account for medical need to determine if prosecution is in the public interest) and R v Margiotta (CBD only cannabis not to be prosecuted), they'd look daft.

Plus, add all the accommodations I'd need and the trial would cost a fortune for nought. Again influencing what would be determined as the public interest to decide whether to prosecute.

Late reply, but it seems unlikely such a case would ever reach the stage of prosecution.
