Why Smoke Shops Should Stock THCA in 2025
THCA is the fastest-growing category in smoke shops. Here's why you can't afford to miss it.
The Rise of THCA
THCA has gone from a niche product to a flagship category in less than two years. Here's what's driving the surge.
Market Growth
The hemp-derived THCA market grew over 300% in 2024. Consumer awareness is at an all-time high, and demand continues to climb. Shops that stock quality THCA are seeing it become their #1 revenue driver.Legal Landscape
THCA flower remains federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill as long as delta-9 THC stays under 0.3%. This makes it accessible in states where traditional cannabis isn't legal — a massive untapped market.Consumer Demand
Your customers are asking for it. Social media, word of mouth, and growing mainstream acceptance mean that THCA flower is no longer just for cannabis enthusiasts — it's going mainstream.Quality Differentiation
Not all THCA is equal. Shops that carry lab-tested, premium indoor flower see higher margins and more repeat customers. Quality is the key differentiator.How to Get Started
