Im seeing this crap everywhere. Gas stations with bins of buds. All Fake crap. All of this THCA, Delta 8-9 Crap is everywhere. Fake grow operations all over the state. Selling this crap in head shop and vape stores. The legal scamm is supposedly they harvest this crap when the tricomes are Clear," no THC levels until it is burned then some nonsense about how the flame/ fire decarbonizes it. Making the THC active. Freaking fake weed and vape everywhere.

Thichomes turn amber due to oxidation of THC into CBN. The oxidation continues even after harvest so long as the weed isn’t placed into a vacuum. They may be harvesting early anticipating that some shelf life will allow for further ambering during this shelf life.
This is true of even the weed you grow yourself. The natural form is THC-A. THC-A is converted to it’s psychoactive form (THC) when exposed to heat. As an example - weed used in edibles is decarbed with heat prior to putting it in edibles.
Regarding the delta stuff, people will sell anything they think other people may buy.

The THCa will fail a drug test. Hardly fake. I understand your sentiment though. Legalization has kinda created this dichotomy of two worlds. Those in legal states are free to buy and use as needed. The non legal states are playing this stupid game. The non legal states retailers are trying to navigate the hemp laws while to politicians are too stupid to keep up with potheads. The delta 8-9 and THCa were legal workarounds in non legal states. I’ve burned some THCa that was better than some real stuff. It is definitely complicating things though.

The most important 2 questions are obviously 1. Is the quasi/ fake weed Worth the money??? 2. Will it get me stoned/high??

That is subjective and up to you.
The THC products are no different than any other commercially available weed. There is evidence of the benefit of delta 8 products, though it will be different.
Delta 9 is THC.

Think I will stick to Med. despensary weed, etc. And of course my own homegrown.
Im open to an intellectual, fact and personal experience based discussion.

I’ve never tried a delta-8 product, though I am a fan of CBN edibles.
Be careful. Products sold in convenience stores will not contain THC, as I can’t imagine that they have a cannabis license. Dispensaries are very highly regulated to protect tax revenue.

I have purchased from 2 shops online. One I’ll call HG had a very decent product. The other, BS, was not as good but was still potent enough. I did quite a bit of reading up on it but, of course I’m only trusting what I was told. Its probably not as potent as what we produce. It works though. As far as delta 8 or 9 I’ve no clue. Its my understanding that the delta 9 is what we are taking in typical flower?
Delta-9 is the THC we all know and love.

Some of the dispensary weed till have no thc or so 0 percent thc but 30 percent thca so cannabis is all thca basically so say you grow a plant thats thca when you harvest and dry the heat may break yhe thca into thc its all the same thing alot of those thca flower you see is tested wet before dry so itll be under the .3 loophole but if it was tested dry it wouldnt pass

You know, some people will say I’m a As÷=/le. Im always getting told by my wife that I should try to understand the others.
Ive been smoking weed as a hobby for 47 years. Just by experience alone. I consider myself a weed connoisseur.
No way in hell Im buying or smoking any of the Fake crap. Seems like there is always some Dumba$$ will try to convince me he is not a dumbass. Life is nothing more than makings Decisions continually while conscious. Poor decisions will haunt you the older you get.
