What are the known benefits of using cannabis?

People use cannabis for health and wellness, to boost creativity, relax, inspire, socialize, energize and improve focus. It’s an affordable and natural way to maintain balance between your body’s essential functions like eating, sleeping, and healing.

​

Cannabis for health and wellness

People use cannabis for its health and wellness properties, called cannabinoids, to heal both mind and body. The two most common cannabinoids are THC and CBD, which have differing but complementary effects.

​

Cannabis in many forms

Cannabis comes in many varieties. We encourage you to discover and try all the many assortments and their related effects.

​

Hybrid

Hybrid cannabis strains are plants that have the combined characteristics of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica plants, depending on its genetic lineage. In fact, most cannabis today is a type of hybrid marked as either indica- or sativa-dominant, rather than pure indica or sativa.

• Origin: Hybrids are typically grown on farms or in greenhouses from a combination of sativa and indica strains.

• Plant description: The appearance of hybrid strains depends on the combination of the parent plants.

• Typical CBD to THC ratio: Many hybrid cannabis plants are grown in order to increase the THC percentage, but each type has a unique ratio of the two cannabinoids.

• Commonly associated effects of use: Farmers and producers select hybrids for their unique impacts. They can range from reducing anxiety and stress to easing symptoms of chemotherapy or radiation.

• Daytime or nighttime use: This depends on the predominant effects of the hybrid.

• Popular strains: Hybrids are typically classified as indica-dominant (or indica-dom), sativa-dominant (sativa-dom), or balanced. Popular hybrids include Pineapple Express, Trainwreck, and Blue Dream.

How to consume

Lucky for you, cannabis products have come a long way. Choose the best method for your needs and lifestyle—they’re all good.

​

Vaporizers are convenient pen-shaped devices that are more discreet than traditional options, like a joint. They are odorless, portable, and require virtually no heating time. Vaporizers are often filled with oil cartridges, and vaporize the cannabis instead of combusting it, releasing the active compounds without unhealthy contaminants that you’d find in smoke. Regardless of your experience level, the effects are felt almost immediately, making this the most efficient way for your body to process cannabis.

​

Edibles - There's more than brownies here—edibles are a delicious way to consume cannabis without smoking or gadgets. They’re easy to measure out and dose on your own, and they’re as discreet as your afternoon snack. Unlike smoking, the THC takes a while to reach your bloodstream because it has to be digested by the stomach first. The effects are stronger and longer-lasting—but they also take longer to realize, which means you should start with the lowest dosage possible if it’s your first time.

​

Flower - These are your traditional cannabis flower buds—unprocessed and straight from the plant to your joint, pipe, bong or vaporizer. They are cut, dried, and cured for optimal consistency and consumption.

​

Topicals are balms, lotions, creams, sprays, patches, and bath products used solely for external application—usually on the skin. Topicals are mostly non-psychoactive, meaning they will not get you high. However, some transdermal patches deliver THC through your skin and will get you high. Most topicals have high amounts of CBD for pain relief (great for athletes, people recovering from surgery or suffering from chronic pain, etc).

​

Drops are essentially concentrated cannabis-infused tinctures. Whether you don’t want to smoke or you’re looking for a low-calorie alternative to edibles, drops are a potent and simple way to get started—if you follow directions and build up incrementally. Drop them under your tongue for a fast-acting and long-lasting effect.

​

Concentrates are highly potent cannabis extracts. They come in a variety of forms, including wax, shatter, hash, BHO, crumble and resin. We generally don’t recommend products in this category to beginners, as they are very strong and often require specialized equipment, like a dab rig, to use.
