As the cannabis industry continues to grow, savvy innovators are discovering different approaches to consuming flower. Since smoking can be a turnoff, companies are finding new ways to maintain the natural purity and potency of the raw cannabis plant. Among those companies is RA’ Flower Brands.
Launching in February 2019, RA’ has developed a proprietary “micro-dehydration” process that activates the cannabis flower in its natural form without using an extraction method. This process allows them to preserve the healing terpenes and cannabinoids that make cannabis strains so unique.
If you are new to the science of cannabinoids, cannabis must first be "activated" to change from its acid form into its nonacid form which allows us to feel psychoactive and therapeutic side effects (i.e. converting non-psychoactive THCA into psychoactive THC). One of the best ways to do this is by decarboxylating flower, which is achieved by exposing dry cannabis to heat.
RA’s patent-pending decarboxylation method is what sets them apart, delivering the most powerful and effective results. Sourcing only 100% sun-grown cannabis from small family farms, the company’s new take on flower can be consumed in a powder or capsule form. Founder, Alan Hoskins, is the man behind RA’s inventive formula and openly shares his thoughts on creating the brand.
“The best way to describe our product would be smokeless cannabis,” he explains. “We only use sun-grown full flower to make our products when most companies use trim or shake. All of our offerings are strain specific with a multi-use option meaning you can swallow it as a capsule, sprinkle it on food, mix it into a drink, or if you prefer, you can smoke it.”

Available in a variety of THC and CBD powders, RA’ can accommodate every type of consumer. Whether you are looking to incorporate cannabis into your wellness routine or use it for medical purposes, the company’s precise dosing will help you find the right balance for your personal needs. Because RA’ is so easy to cook with, below are three of my favorite ways to experience RA’ Flower in food. Since I am a lover of low-dose cuisine, each recipe contains 2.5mg of THC per serving.
IMPORTANT: If you are allergic to raw cannabis flower or have a sensitivity to certain terpenes, please consult with your healthcare professional before consuming this product to avoid serious allergic reactions.
