THC-O My Goodness: Strawberry Cough and Blue Zkittles

ATLRx THCO Vape Cart Bundle Pack

ATLRx is overjoyed to share our latest and most rebellious cannabinoid yet. Introducing THC-O (Tetrahydrocannabinol-O-Acetate or ATHC), one of the most dynamic cannabinoids on the market, causing a buzz in the industry. ATLRx has brought on board Strawberry Cough and Blue Zkittles THC-O cartridges. THC-O or THC-O acetate is a cannabinoid derived from hemp that has created quite the buzz across the industry and states that have yet to legalize.

The History of THC-O

THCO has been on the radar for quite some time, a little over seventy years. 

But the cannabinoid was often swept under the rug, presumably because of its potency, 

and that it isn’t the safest thing to make. THC-O scenario is like the opening scene of Pineapple Express, where Bill Hader is having the time of his life. 

Now, replace Bill Hader with German Shepherds. Like many fun chemical compounds, THC-O first appeared in front of military researchers seeking agents to immobilize the opposition—it is no wonder why Tom Clancy has endless material for his ghostwriters. In 1978, the 

DEA came across THC-O in Florida, shrugged their shoulders, and ended up saying, “we will worry about it later.”

Fast-forward to later, it has found a comfortable seat in the legal grey area, teetering the fine line of the Federal Analogue Act of 1986. But don’t sweat that; delta-8 THC is amongst that grey area. THC-O comes about when acetic anhydride is added to delta-8 THC, but to get to that point, you’re looking at several stages of extraction from the 

hemp plant. 
It’s essential to understand that bringing THCO acetate to life is dangerous because the integral additive acetic 

anhydride is highly flammable, explosive if you’re looking for an even more descriptive word.

You need a doctorate, sophisticated training, and the same lab as Dexter. I think it’s essential to comprehend that Breaking Bad was just a show. Receiving a C in Chemistry doesn’t mean that you’re whippin’ it together like Walter or the Migos. An RV is not a laboratory; it’s a setting for bad vacation movies like We’re the Millers and From Dusk till Dawn. It took me 30 years to understand this.

Strawberry Cough is more along the lines of sativa. The fruit forward strain is a cross between two undisclosed mystery flowers that provides a sweet aroma balanced well with the earthiness from the hemp. Blue Zkittles is a distinct sweet aroma with more indica traits.

3THC-O is similar to the latest cannabinoids like THC-V and Delta 10. But you have to remember that THC-O isn’t only more potent than delta-8 THC and delta-10 THC. It can be up to THREE times as potent as delta-9 THC. Listen, I am not here to doubt your THC abilities. You can keep up with Wiz Khalifa. 

I get that you had a smoke session with Nickelback behind a Taco Bell in Canada. 

But this is a serious product that needs your undivided attention.
