  • What is CBD? Cannabinoids?
    CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the cannabis plant. It is known for its potential therapeutic benefits. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. While there are over 100 different cannabinoids, the most well-known ones are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These cannabinoids are primarily responsible for the effects of cannabis on the human body. Different strains of cannabis can contain varying levels of cannabinoids, leading to distinct effects. Here are some of the well-known cannabinoid strains and their differences: 1. THC-dominant strains: These strains have higher levels of THC and lower levels of CBD. They often produce psychoactive effects, including euphoria, relaxation, increased appetite, and altered perception. 2. CBD-dominant strains: These strains contain higher levels of CBD and lower levels of THC. CBD does not produce psychoactive effects like THC but may have potential therapeutic benefits, such as pain relief, anti-anxiety effects, and anti-inflammatory properties. 3. Balanced THC/CBD strains: These strains have relatively equal amounts of THC and CBD. They provide a more balanced experience with a milder psychoactive effect, along with potential therapeutic benefits. 4. High-THC strains: These strains are bred to have exceptionally high levels of THC. They are popular among recreational users seeking intense psychoactive effects. 5. CBG-dominant strains: Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in minimal amounts in most cannabis strains. However, some strains have been specifically bred to produce higher levels of CBG. CBG is believed to have potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. It's important to note that the effects of cannabis can vary depending on the individual, dosage, method of consumption, and other factors. Additionally, the availability of specific strains may vary depending on your location and local regulations. Always consult with a healthcare professional or qualified budtender for advice on selecting cannabis strains based on your specific needs and preferences.
  • Indica vs. Sativa vs. Hybrid?
    Cannabis plants are commonly categorized into three main types: Cannabis indica, Cannabis sativa, and hybrid strains. These classifications are based on the plant's physical characteristics, growth patterns, and chemical profiles. Here's a description of the differences between these types: 1. Cannabis Indica: Cannabis indica plants are generally shorter and bushier compared to sativa plants. They have wider leaves and dense, compact buds. Indica strains are known for their relaxing and sedating effects on the body. They are often associated with a "body high" that can promote relaxation, pain relief, and sleep. Indica strains are commonly used in the evening or nighttime due to their calming effects. 2. Cannabis Sativa: Cannabis sativa plants are typically taller and have narrower leaves compared to indica plants. They have longer flowering cycles and can grow quite tall. Sativa strains are known for their energizing and uplifting effects on the mind and body. They often produce a "head high" that can enhance creativity, focus, and sociability. Sativa strains are commonly used during the day or in social settings. 3. Hybrid Strains: Hybrid strains are a crossbreed between indica and sativa plants. These strains are created by selectively breeding different cannabis varieties to combine desired traits. The goal is to create hybrids that exhibit a combination of the effects and characteristics of both parent strains. Hybrid strains can vary widely in their cannabinoid profiles and effects, depending on the specific genetics involved. For example, some hybrids may lean more towards indica, while others may lean more towards sativa. Hybrid strains offer a range of options that cater to individual preferences. Some hybrids are designed to provide a balanced experience with a mix of relaxing and uplifting effects. Others may be bred for specific purposes, such as pain relief, enhanced creativity, or focus. The effects of hybrid strains can vary significantly depending on the specific combination of indica and sativa genetics. It's important to note that these classifications are not absolute, and there can be significant variation within each category. Furthermore, the effects of cannabis can be influenced by numerous factors, including the individual's tolerance, dosage, method of consumption, and overall chemistry. It's always advisable to start with low doses when trying new strains and to seek guidance from knowledgeable professionals in dispensaries or healthcare providers.
  • What's the difference between Delta 8 and Delta 9 products?
    CBD (cannabidiol), delta-8-THC (delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol), and delta-9-THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) are all different cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Here's a description of the differences between CBD, delta-8, and delta-9: 1. CBD (Cannabidiol): CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that has gained significant popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits. It is typically derived from industrial hemp plants, which contain high levels of CBD and low levels of THC. CBD does not produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC. It is believed to have various potential health benefits, including pain relief, anti-anxiety effects, anti-inflammatory properties, and potential seizure management. CBD is available in various forms, including oils, tinctures, edibles, topicals, and more. 2. Delta-8 (Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol): Delta-8 is a minor cannabinoid that occurs naturally in cannabis plants but in much lower concentrations compared to delta-9. Delta-8 is chemically similar to delta-9, but it has a slightly different molecular structure. It is mildly psychoactive, but its intoxicating effects are generally considered to be milder than those of delta-9. Some users describe delta-8 as producing a more clear-headed and less anxiety-inducing experience compared to delta-9. Delta-8 is typically derived from hemp and is available in various forms, including vape cartridges, edibles, and tinctures. 3. Delta-9(Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol): Delta-9 is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is responsible for the intoxicating effects commonly associated with cannabis use. Delta-9 binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and nervous system, resulting in a range of effects, including euphoria, relaxation, altered perception of time and space, increased appetite, and potential therapeutic benefits such as pain relief and nausea reduction. The levels of delta-9 in cannabis plants can vary widely, with cannabis strains bred for recreational use often containing higher levels of delta-9. It's important to note that the legal status of these cannabinoids can vary depending on your jurisdiction. While CBD derived from hemp is legal in many places, delta-8-THC and delta-9-THC may be subject to different regulations and restrictions. Always ensure that you understand and comply with the laws and regulations of your specific location when it comes to the use and purchase of these cannabinoids.
  • Will CBD get me high? Possible side effects?
    No, CBD does not produce a euphoric or intoxicating effect. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), another compound found in cannabis, CBD is non-psychoactive. While CBD is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience side effects such as dry mouth, diarrhea, fatigue, changes in appetite, or drowsiness. It's important to start with a low dose and monitor your body's response. * We encourage you to seek the advice of your doctor if you have underlying medical conditions or concerns prior to using these and any supplemental dietary products.
