Hemp product formats explained: flower, concentrates, vapes, edibles

By Thrive Wellness Team, Leesburg, FL · · 5 min read

The short version: hemp products come in a handful of formats: flower and pre-rolls, concentrates, vapes, edibles, topicals and functional mushroom products. Each format is packaged and labeled differently. This guide covers what each one is and what to look for on the label, not how any product will make you feel.

Why format matters when you shop

The format tells you how a product is packaged, how it's measured (grams, milliliters or milligrams per serving) and which numbers to read on the label. Our team can walk you through any of them in the store, and every category has batch lab reports on our Lab reports page.

Smokable formats: flower, pre-rolls, concentrates and vapes

These formats are measured by weight or volume and usually list THCA alongside delta-9 THC. Heating THCA, for example by smoking or vaping, converts it to delta-9 THC, which is intoxicating and can cause a positive drug test. Don't drive or operate machinery after use.

Edibles, drinks and drink mixes

For anything you eat or drink, look for three numbers: the serving size, the amount per serving and the number of servings in the package. Multiply the last two to get the package total. If the numbers aren't clear, ask us before you buy.

Topicals

Roll-ons and patches are applied to the skin. The label lists the total mg of CBD in the package, the ingredients and directions for use. Follow the directions on the package.

Which hemp formats contain THCA?

THCA shows up in flower, pre-rolls, concentrates and some vapes. Heating THCA, for example by smoking or vaping, converts it to delta-9 THC, which is intoxicating and can cause a positive drug test. Don't drive or operate machinery after use.
