If the joint tastes good, with a defined flavor profile, that's a good sign. It should taste similar once burned. But the most important thing you need to know to have a euphoric effect is that the healing process of plants affects the cannabinoid and terpene counts equally. In other words, the way in which the harvested flower dries and cures will ultimately determine the potency, flavor and even the hardness of your successes.
Most of us take for granted that exposing cured cannabis to sunlight is not a good idea. Sunlight contains UV light, which has well-known destructive properties. Anecdotal reports suggest that the acid form of THC, THCA, would degrade into Δ9THC (the active form) and then into CBN. That sounds reasonable, considering that this is usually how the degradation of cannabis is explained.
Rather than accepting anecdotal evidence, we decided to test some cannabis products. Isolated THCA is created by removing all impurities through a special refining process, leaving an impeccable THCA powder in its purest and most potent form.
