If you've been anywhere near a smoke shop lately, you’ve probably noticed something weird creeping into the shelves: jars of THCA. No, it’s not some obscure herb for your salad.

Colorado Flo Review
This round… I reached out into the cannabis universe with hopes of a brain booster. I was looking for a real “pick me up”. The menu at my local dispensary had Colorado Flo on the menu.
