Cannabis 101
Understanding some basics
To help simplify your experience and ensure you feel confident when selecting the right products, we have gathered some foundational information regarding the basics of cannabis. Understanding these key terms can help reduce uncertainty and guide you toward the best choice for your needs.
Cannabis Strains and Origins
Cannabis strains are varieties modified to enhance specific characteristics of the plant. While thousands of new strains are created as cultivation technology advances, they all descend from “Landrace” strains. These are original, unmodified varieties often named after their region of origin, such as Acapulco Gold, Hindu Kush, and Colombian Gold.
Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis and Hybrids
Traditionally, strains are categorized by their general effects:
-Cannabis Sativa:Often associated with increased energy and uplifting cerebral effects, making it suitable for social gatherings and creative projects. Sativa strains tend to be higher in THC content
– Cannabis Indica: Typically provides more sedative effects, often used for relaxation and physical comfort, ideal for unwinding. Usually lower in THC and higher in CBD.
– Cannabis Ruderalis:Is very short and produces only trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and thus is not commonly grown for industrial, recreational or medicinal use. However, because Cannabis ruderalis flowers independently of the photoperiod and according to age, it has been used to breed autoflowering strains.[6]
– Hybrid:A combination of both Sativa and Indica, offering a balance of effects depending on the specific plant’s cultivation, hybrids are today most easily available than pure Sativa or Pure Indica strains.
Modern Science: Terpenes and Cannabinoids
As research evolves, we are moving toward a more precise, science-based understanding centered on chemical composition:
– Terpenes: These are aromatic compounds that provide unique scents and contribute to various pharmacological effects and aromatherapy benefits.
– Cannabinoids: Elements such as THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN interact with the body’s receptors in different ways. While THC and CBD are the most well-known, ongoing research continues to uncover the wide scope of benefits these compounds offer.
The study of cannabis is expanding every day, and we invite you to stay tuned to our blog for further updates and detailed insight.
Some Do’s
Store cannabis out of reach of children and animals
Make sure you store your cannabis in a place that is inaccessible to children and pets. Find a case to store accessories and products with a lock and a smell proof carbon filter. This will help you avoid unwanted consequences. Cannabis is not meant for those that are underage.
Consult with dispensary employees (Budtenders or Hosts) on different options and products for your needs
Start slowly, and at low dosages
Cannabis products vary in potency, so pay attention to total THC percentages in flower and THC mg in edibles. You can always consume more, you can’t consume less. Consuming too much cannabis at a time could result in anxiety, confusion, and other unpleasant sensations. Give your body time to process the effects of cannabis products, especially when consuming edibles.
Choose a comfortable, familiar setting for consumption
When experimenting with cannabis, make sure that you are in a place where you feel comfortable and safe in case you don’t like the effects of the particular cultivar, or take too much. This applies to trying new products as well; even if you’ve become accustomed to cannabis, new products can affect your body differently.
Finish tasks and obligations before consumption
Until you become accustomed to the effects of cannabis, it’s best to avoid responsibilities when enjoying and experimenting with cannabis products.
Some Dont’s
Don’t drive or operate heavy machinery after consuming cannabis: Cannabis products can have a delayed onset (especially for edible products) and effects may take up to two hours to be noticeable. Driving with cannabis in your system is impaired driving, and remains a crime in the United States
Don’t refer to cannabis as “marijuana”: Though the term “marijuana” is fairly common in mainstream culture, the word has roots in the prohibition of cannabis. To truly let go of stigma, it’s important to use vocabulary that doesn’t put cannabis in a derogatory light.
