THC & CBD
WHAT ARE CANNABINOIDS?
Cannabinoids are a diverse group of chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. The two most well-known cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, creating the “high” sensation, while CBD is non-psychoactive and has potential therapeutic properties.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
TERPENES
Terpenes are aromatic organic compounds found in various plants, including cannabis and many fruits and herbs. They are responsible for the distinct flavors and scents of these plants. Terpenes have gained attention for their potential therapeutic properties and are often used in essential oils and aromatherapy. In cannabis, terpenes are believed to contribute to the different effects and flavors of different strains, making them a key factor in the diversity of cannabis products available in the market.

CANNABIS 101
Indica is one of the three main types of cannabis strains, known for its calming and relaxing effects. Indica strains are often associated with soothing both the body and mind, making them a popular choice for nighttime use or for individuals seeking relief from stress, anxiety, or insomnia. They typically have a higher CBD (cannabidiol) content compared to sativa strains and are characterized by their shorter, bushier plant structure. The soothing and sedating qualities of indica strains have earned them the reputation of being “in-da-couch” strains, as they can induce a sense of relaxation and physical comfort.
Sativa is one of the three primary types of cannabis strains, known for its invigorating and uplifting effects. Sativa strains are typically associated with increased energy, creativity, and a cerebral high, making them a popular choice for daytime use or for individuals seeking a more active and social experience. These strains often have a higher THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content compared to indica strains and are characterized by their taller and more slender plant structure. Sativa strains are prized for their ability to stimulate mental focus and creativity, making them a go-to option for those looking to enhance their productivity or engage in social activities.
Hybrid cannabis strains are a blend of indica and sativa genetics, offering a balanced combination of both types’ characteristics. These strains are designed to provide a more customized and versatile cannabis experience. The specific effects of hybrid strains can vary widely, depending on the precise indica-to-sativa ratio and the dominant terpenes present. Hybrids are popular among users who want a balanced experience that can range from relaxation and stress relief to increased energy and creativity. They allow individuals to tailor their cannabis consumption to suit their preferences and needs, making them a flexible choice in the world of cannabis.
Why Shopping Legal is Legit
Shopping at legal dispensaries is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of cannabis products. These dispensaries are subject to rigorous state and local regulations, which include testing for potency and contaminants. This ensures that consumers are informed about what they are purchasing and can trust that the products are free from harmful substances, such as pesticides or heavy metals.
Furthermore, legal dispensaries contribute to the local and state economy through taxes and job creation, and they help to undermine the illegal cannabis market. By choosing to shop at legal dispensaries, consumers are not only prioritizing their own health and safety but also supporting regulated businesses that adhere to high standards of quality and safety.
