You are mostly correct. But there are definitely common instances where hemp that is strain specific to be low in THC is sprayed with outside sourced thca. I have found this to be the case for most brands I see in texas, unfortunately. That and added synthetic terpenes imo bastardize the legal hemp industry as it is.

It's this exactly that turned me off, especially after a sales person misinformed me that their products where definitely not sprayed with anything, when the flower brand website itself told me otherwise.

Good point! The “THCa hemp flower” that is hemp flower sprayed with THCa distillate isomerized from CBDa distillate processed from hemp flowers is a distinct product from drug type cannabis flower being sold under the label of THCa hemp flower which is generally just the same old black market stuff with a new outlook on life and a note from a lawyer in the USPS box. Add in the botanically or synthetically derived terpenes and you have a recipe for a headache in my experience.

The thing is, those fake terps are being added to both types of THCa flower and regular products on actual legal markets.
