Understanding Cannabis and Product Types

Cannabis is a plant with many active compounds, and we commonly get asked exactly how and why it works.

Your body has an endocannabinoid system with receptors on every organ. Cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with this system and produce unique results.

What works for you will be personal. Our budtenders are here to help you explore your options.

It’s important to start low and go slow whenever you try a new cannabis product to understand how it affects you. 

 

 

Cannabis Product Types

Flower

Flower is the most traditional way of consuming the plant. It’s ground down and packed into glass bowls, water pipes, or rolled in papers. There are many strain options to choose from.

Prerolls

If you like flower but don’t want the mess of grinding and packing, prerolls are a convenient, ready-to-smoke option. Prerolls usually come in 0.5-gram and 1-gram sizes. Some prerolls contain cannabis concentrates, but we don’t recommend those for beginners.

Edibles

Edibles are foods that contain cannabis concentrates. There are endless options to choose from, including gummies, chocolates, drinks, and beverage enhancers. Edibles are smoke-free, making them a popular choice for new consumers.

Concentrates

Concentrates are a concentrated form of THC extracted from the plant. They come in many forms. Concentrates are potent and fast-acting, which makes them best suited for experienced cannabis consumers.

Vapes

Vapes contain concentrates in a hand-held device that’s convenient, discreet, and easy to use. However, vapes are also very strong.

Tinctures

Tinctures are an ancient form of oral delivery. They contain cannabinoids like THC, CBD, and CBG that have been extracted from the plant. Cannabis tinctures offer precise dosing options, flexible consumption, and are smoke-free, making them a great choice for new consumers.
