The Best Way To Take THCA Snowballs

THCA flower snowballs offer something that goes above and beyond your standard flower product.  They’re THCA flower buds coated in THCA diamond dust, to seriously boost the THCA potency for maximum delta 9 satisfaction. 

At the same time, they can be used just like standard cannabis flower buds, which means that you can smoke them, vape them, or use them to make edibles.  So, we will be comparing these methods, while providing some safety tips that can be useful – no matter which method you end up choosing.

THCA Flower Snowballs 101

THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in fresh, undried cannabis.  As the cannabis plant dries and ages, THCA slowly converts to THC, the compound known for its psychoactive effects.

THCA flower snowballs or snow caps are THCA flower buds that have been rolled in ground THCA diamonds, so that the entire exterior of each bud is covered in a layer of pure THCA.  Naturally, this increases the potency of the product by a whole lot, since tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, as we all know, becomes delta 9 THC once it’s heated.

THCA flower snowballs smell and taste just like “regular” buds, since cannabinoids have no flavor or aroma qualities to influence the product.  However, as you probably guessed by now, they get their name from the fact that they look like they’re covered in snow, since THCA diamonds are naturally crystalline, and then grinding them up gives them a snow-like appearance.

Understanding the Main Ways to Enjoy THCA Flower Snowballs

THCA flower snowballs or snow caps are pretty versatile, and at the end of the day, everyone has their preferences when it comes to how they use it.  Keep in mind, each of these methods we will be discussing does involve a full level or some level of heating.  When heating THCA snowballs, control the temperature to avoid overheating.  Why?  Well, because overheating can destroy the terpenes and cannabinoids, affecting the flavor and potency.

Method #1: Smoking

Smoking is the most common and traditional method for using THCA snowballs or any flower product, and the method that predates all of the others by far.  Smoking has been the default method for consuming cannabis for literally thousands of years, long before vaping technology developed, or before it was popular to infuse flower into a fat to make tasty recipes for homemade edibles.

Smoking is executed through a few different methods.  It’s popular to place the buds in a pipe of some kind, whether it be a small one-hitter or a large bong that uses water filtration.  Another option is to grind up the snowballs and roll them in papers, or even buy pre-rolls, which have done the grinding and rolling parts for you.

Pros of Smoking THCA Snowballs:

• The most potent method of all (smoking is the most bioavailable method as the lungs absorb the compounds efficiently, and the smoke carries a denser concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes than vapor).
• Fast-acting compared to other delivery methods (onset within minutes, like with vaping).
• Versatile (various methods to smoke, with a wide variety of pipes and papers available).
• The “old-school” method that many people favor is out of tradition.

Cons of Smoking THCA Snowballs:

• Can cause respiratory effects (coughing, irritation, etc.).
• Not very travel-friendly (usually requires a grinder, papers/a pipe, and the snowbals, stored separately, and requires that you have a space to roll your joint or pack your pipe).
• Can’t precisely control the temp that the THCA snowballs reach, like you can with vapes.

Method #2: Vaping

Vaping is a newer concept than smoking, and it requires that you have a dry herb vaporizer – in other words, a vaporizer made specifically for flower, as vaporizers made for vape oils will not work with flower. 

Snowball buds must be ground, just like if you were going to smoke them, but you can place them inside of a vaporizer chamber that gets heat through the battery (conduction or convection), with a variety of presets (output levels) that alter how potent the vapor is, how much vapor is produced, how harsh the inhale is, how strong the flavor is, and more.  Vaporizers range in size and features, and you can buy anything from a very simple, pocket-friendly device to a desktop vaporizer that comes with loads of features and adjustable settings.

Pros of Vaping THCA Snowballs:

• Fast-acting and potent, as inhaling the compounds offers the highest level of bioavailability.
• Easy to customize in terms of output, airflow, etc.
• Plenty of devices to choose from to accommodate different needs.
• More portable and travel-friendly than smoking.
• Fewer respiratory effects than smoking.

Cons of Vaping THCA Snowballs:

• Not as potent as smoking.
• Requires maintenance as devices need to be cared for.
• Can malfunction on occasion.

Method #3: Baking/Cooking

Finally, we have the option of making edibles with THCA snowballs, which is the same process as making edibles with any cannabis flower.  It starts by infusing the snowballs in butter, and then using that butter in place of the fat in a recipe.  This offers an entirely different delivery method from smoking or vaping, as you’re ingesting the cannabinoid rather than inhaling it, which means you’re experiencing the effects in a more unique sorta manner.

Pros of Baking/Cooking with THCA Snowballs:

• Longest-lasting effects (6-8 hours).
• A stronger body high.
• A fun new, creative hobby.
• No respiratory effects.
• No Vape or Smoke Hardware Needed

Cons of Baking/Cooking with THCA Snowballs:

• Longer onset time (up to 2 hours).
• Can cause more drowsiness than other methods.
• Requires basic culinary skills.
• Requires making an infused butter, which can take a couple of hours.

Safety Tips When Using THCA Snowballs

Finally, we want to cover some safety tips so that you can get the best experience out of your snowballs, besides only buying THCA snowballs from reputable dispensaries or online companies to ensure they are pure, accurately labeled, and free from contaminants. You see, while snowballs aren’t dangerous, or even come with any more risks than any other kind of flower, the fact that this product is psychoactive does mean that you need to be mindful of certain things that could go wrong.  Essentially, given their potency, it’s important to start with a small amount to see how you react, especially if you’re new to cannabis concentrates.

Safety Tip #1: Don’t Drive After Taking Snowballs

First off, whenever you’re high on THCA snowballs, avoid driving.  In fact, it’s illegal to drive while under the influence of an intoxicant, including a federally legal one like THCA/delta 9 THC.

Safety Tip #2: Make Sure You’re Using Safe Equipment

If you’re going to be vaping or smoking THCA snowballs, make sure that you’re using the proper type of vaporizer or pipe, and that it’s maintained well so that it doesn’t malfunction or damage the snowballs.  For example, modern dry herb vaporizers are unlikely to cause any major harm, but using cheaply made or broken devices can put you at risk.

Safety Tip #3: Practice Kitchen Safety

If you’re going to be making edibles at home, please practice standard kitchen safety practices, like when you’re using a stove or oven, or when you’re going to be handling certain raw ingredients, such as eggs.  Of course, if you’re using a knife, be careful as well, especially if you’re already high on THCA snowballs, as delta 9 THC can cause impairment that can make ordinary tasks riskier than usual.

Safety Tip #4: Storage and Handling

Yes, you need to store THCA snowballs in a cool, dark place to prevent them from melting or degrading.  An airtight container is ideal to keep them fresh and to avoid contamination.  When it comes to handling them, make sure to use clean tools, so as to prevent introducing contaminants.  Avoid touching them with your hands to maintain their purity and prevent melting, too.

Smoking, Vaping, or Baking/Cooking with THCA Snowballs: Which Method is the Right One for You?

THCA snowballs are just as versatile as “plain” flower buds, meaning that you can enjoy them in all kinds of tempting ways.  While no method is better than the other, what we can say is that each person typically has their own preferences, which is why we ultimately recommend trying all three methods.  Plus, at Bloomz, you can grab the highest-quality indoor-grown THCA Flower Snowballs or Snow Caps to go ahead and experiment with all of the methods we touched upon today.
