What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) stands as a primary phytocannabinoid present in medicinal marijuana plants. Cannabinoids play a role in regulating various functions and processes within the human body. CBD does not induce the cognitive effects that THC might produce.
How does CBD work?
CBD interacts with a diverse array of receptors within the body to elicit varied effects. Additionally, CBD enhances the efficiency of the body's own endocannabinoids, enabling them to function more effectively.
How is CBD from a dispensary different from CBD purchased elsewhere?
CBD sourced outside of dispensaries originates from hemp. Hemp-derived CBD products lack federal regulation presently, posing a risk of potential inclusion of harsh chemicals or additives. CBD derived from cannabis in our dispensary undergoes extensive third-party testing to verify its potency and safety. Hemp, categorized as a fiber-centric variety of cannabis sativa, yields higher CBD concentrations than THC. In contrast, medicinal marijuana, another variation of cannabis sativa, typically boasts higher THC concentrations than CBD.
Aromatic cannabis compounds enhancing effects.
What do terpenes entail?
Terpenes stand as organic compounds present in various plant types, with particular significance in the realm of medicinal cannabis. They provide distinct flavors to everything from rosemary to lemon and contribute to the diverse effects and aromas of different cannabis strains.
How do terpenes operate?
While not cannabinoids themselves, terpenes originate from the same part of the cannabis plant and interact with the endocannabinoid system. When terpenes and cannabinoids are combined or consumed together, they can enhance the advantages of one another, resulting in what's termed the "entourage effect."
What variations of terpenes exist?
The plant kingdom boasts more than 20,000 terpenes, with over a hundred being found in cannabis alone. Among these, several key terpenes offer specific medicinal benefits.
Primary psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis.
What is THC?
THC is an acronym for Tetrahydrocannabinol (TET•ra•HY•dro•CAN•nab•i•NOL), a cannabinoid that collaborates with your body's inherent endocannabinoid system.
How does THC function?
THC engages with a specific endocannabinoid receptor in your body known as CB1. These receptors are predominantly concentrated in the nervous system, particularly within regions associated with cognitive processes, pleasure, memory, and time perception.
What is the source of THC?
Fresh cannabis flowers contain Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THC-A), which transforms into THC through heating or exposure to light. While THC-A does not produce the same effects as THC, it might possess its own medicinal benefits.
Do various forms of THC exist?
Certainly. Diverse forms of THC exist, each offering distinct advantages. Here are several notable variations:.9-THC: The complete scientific name of the THC present in prepared cannabis.8-THC: A less potent version of THC that can be derived from hempTHCV: An invigorating but shorter-lasting cannabinoid that could have appetite-suppressing properties.
What sensations can I expect from THC?
The effects of THC are contingent on the dosage and the therapy method employed. Certain CBD products contain minimal amounts of THC that are unlikely to trigger cognitive effects, and some THC-containing topicals may also not induce noticeable effects. For products that do generate cognitive effects, the experience hinges on your mental state and surroundings. It can be particularly enjoyable when you're at ease in a comfortable environment.
How much THC should I take?
The optimal dosage varies from person to person, so we recommend initiating with a low dose and gradually increasing until you perceive a beneficial effect. For inhalation-based therapies, wait 15–30 minutes* after dosing to experience the full effects before considering additional intake. For edible therapies, wait 2–3 hours* after dosing before contemplating further consumption. Our suggestion is to identify the lowest effective dose for symptom relief.
Can I use THC without experiencing a "high" sensation?
Absolutely. Some THC products, such as topicals, do not evoke cognitive effects. Additionally, balancing THC with CBD in other treatments can help mitigate the "high" sensation. Consult your patient care specialist to find the most suitable product for your preferences.*Individual outcomes may differ.
Cannabis in pill form.
General Information
All capsule bottles are designed to be child-resistant, requiring you to press down on the lid while twisting to open. Your packaging will include a label detailing the cannabinoid content of the product, such as CBD and THC. Capsules offer a gradual onset of effects, spanning from 30 to 180 minutes. Effects from orally ingested products tend to last longer compared to other cannabis forms, so it's advisable to exercise caution.
What dosage should I take?
You have the flexibility to repeat doses as necessary and as you can tolerate. Just like with any medicinal cannabis product, the objective is to consume the minimal amount needed to alleviate symptoms. Should you find yourself requiring larger doses over time, we recommend consulting a dispensary healthcare professional.
Where potency meets precision.
Essential Tools
Select the appropriate vape device for your purpose. It's crucial to verify that your device features a suitable chamber for concentrates! Decide on your preferred concentrate, which can include shatters, waxes, resins, and more. Each option offers distinct consistencies of cannabis oil for consumption.
Example Devices
Pax 3 & Puffco Peak
How to enjoy?
Ensure your battery is charged. Load the chamber by placing a small quantity of concentrate in the heating chamber of your device. Keep in mind that a little concentrate goes a long way! Attach the mouthpiece to the device to facilitate proper inhalation. Activate the coil in the chamber by pressing the button on your device as you inhale. Initiate with a cautious approach – start with a small inhalation, wait a few minutes, and assess your response before considering another dose. Regularly clean the chamber of your device to prevent damage. *Individual outcomes may vary.
Cannabis-infused food.
General Information
When engaging with cannabis through vaping, compounds referred to as "cannabinoids" and "terpenes" enter your bloodstream via your lungs. These compounds collaborate to generate the effects that you experience. Terpenes, responsible for the aroma and flavor of cannabis, work alongside cannabinoids, which unlock a range of effects in your body and mind. On the other hand, when consuming an edible, cannabinoids are metabolized by the liver instead of being processed by the lungs. This leads to a delayed yet more potent effect.
What dosage should I take?
You have the flexibility to repeat doses as necessary and as you can tolerate. Just like with any medicinal cannabis product, the objective is to consume the minimal amount needed to alleviate symptoms. Should you find yourself requiring larger doses over time, we recommend consulting a dispensary healthcare professional.
Cannabis plant types.
Essential Tools
Many edibles are crafted using "distillate," a form of pure THC oil that typically lacks distinct taste and aroma. During the distillation process, cannabis plants lose terpenes and other cannabinoids, leaving predominantly THC.
Example Devices
This raises an important question: How can an edible be categorized as "Sativa" or "Indica" when it relies on terpene-absent oil, which is usually associated with these strains? While some might reintroduce synthetic or cannabis-derived terpenes to reinforce these classifications, no research validates our bodies' full absorption of terpenes when ingested. What truly matters is recognizing that effects can differ across consumption methods – inhalation or ingestion – even if they fall within the same category.
Cannabis compounds.
General Information
THC and CBD yield distinct effects, so it's essential to inspect the content of your chosen edible. THC is renowned for its psychoactive outcomes, whereas CBD is recognized for inducing a calming effect without the psychoactive high. Remember that not all edibles contain both compounds, so examine the packaging to understand what you're selecting.
Does my flower encompass THC?
Well, there might be a smidge... BUT the type of THC generated by the plant's flower is THC-A. However, you'll probably spot THC-A on your product label or in testing results. When subjected to heat (smoking/vaporization) in a process called decarboxylation, THC-A transforms into THC. Additionally, the flower harbors a variety of other cannabinoids (CBD, CBN, CBG, etc.) and terpenes.
There's multiple ways to participate in the consumption of Cannabis.
Essential Tools
Is smoking the only option? Absolutely not! You can also opt to vaporize your flower or incorporate it into your cooking to craft your own edible creations. Smoking entails igniting the plant material, resulting in smoke for inhalation. Conversely, vaporizing involves loading the flower into an accessory device that elevates the plant's temperature sufficiently to transform cannabis oil into vapor, which is then inhaled into the lungs. Inhaling cannabis into the lungs triggers rapid effects. Many users report sensing the effects within 1-5 minutes, which may endure for 2-3 hours. It's not mandatory to fill your lungs entirely with smoke or vapor; even a brief 1-2 second inhalation can be effective. Afterward, complete your lung capacity with regular air in the same breath and exhale naturally. Monitor your mental and physical state for 5-10 minutes before considering a subsequent dose.
Ways To Inhale
Pre-rolls - Cannabis is meticulously rolled in paper and enjoyed much like a cigarette.
Pipe - Cannabis is ignited and smoked through a glass pipe.
Waterpipe - Combusted cannabis is filtered through water, and the ensuing smoke is inhaled.
Rechargeable Concentrate Pen - Cannabis is concentrated into wax, oil, or hash and transformed into vapor via an e-cigarette.
Concentrate Vaporizer - Cannabis undergoes concentration to form hash, rosin, wax, or shatter. This concentrate is then heated to temperatures spanning from 330-600°, and the resulting vapors are inhaled.
Vape Pen - Cannabis oil is accommodated within a cartridge or "pod" connected to a battery. The oil is heated using a ceramic or metal coil, generating vapors that are subsequently inhaled.
Rick Simpson's remedy.
Exploring Rick Simpson Oil
R.S.O., short for Rick Simpson Oil, is an all-encompassing cannabis oil extract that can be consumed orally or applied topically. This full-spectrum extract retains the complete profile of the cannabis plant, including cannabinoids and terpenes.
Using RSO
Your R.S.O. product will be supplied in a glass or plastic measuring syringe. Gently remove the stopper from the syringe before administering the product, and promptly reseal the cap after use. It's crucial to exercise extreme caution when orally dosing with R.S.O., as the oil often contains high concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol (T.H.C.), which could lead to feelings of paranoia or anxiety if consumed excessively. Begin with a minuscule amount of oil; we suggest using the tip of a toothpick to extract a dot of oil that's equivalent in size to an uncooked rice grain from the end of your syringe. Keep in mind that this product is remarkably concentrated, meaning even a small quantity goes a long way.
Cannabis through digestion.
Oral Dosage
You can incorporate the oil into your food, mix it into a beverage, or add it to an empty capsule for swallowing. Expect a slight delay in the onset of effects, so allow a 3-hour interval before considering a repeat dose.
Sublingual Administration
For a faster initiation of effects, apply the oil directly to your gums. Alternatively, place the oil on a hard candy and hold it in your mouth if you want to mask the taste.
Topical Application
For a faster initiation of effects, apply the oil directly to your gums. Alternatively, place the oil on a hard candy and hold it in your mouth if you want to mask the taste.
Topical items encompass a range of products such as lotions, balms, creams, and patches. These choices can deliver either a localized effect (targeted to the applied area) or a systemic effect (affecting the entire body). It's crucial to inquire with your patient care specialist for detailed information about the particular product that piques your interest. It's worth noting that systemic THC products may lead to potential psychoactive effects.
Tinctures
Included with your product is a pre-marked dropper, similar to the one depicted above. All solution bottles are designed to be child-resistant, requiring you to press down on the cap while twisting to open. The solution product's lid will have an attached dropper. Employing the provided dropper ensures accurate measurement of the appropriate dosage. For a quicker onset of effects, hold the solution under your tongue for 2–3 minutes before swallowing. If you prefer a delayed onset, simply swallow the solution instead of holding it under your tongue.
You can administer additional doses as necessary and as your tolerance permits. As is the case with any medicinal cannabis product, the objective is to consume the minimum amount required to alleviate symptoms. Should you discover that your dosage needs increase over time, it's advisable to consult a dispensary healthcare professional.*Individual outcomes may differ.
Vaporized method of cannabis use.
Vape Oil Cartridges
A vape oil cartridge is a glass cartridge pre-filled with medical cannabis oil. This oil contains various combinations of cannabinoids and terpenes extracted from cannabis. Vape oil cartridges come in various forms, including 510-threaded cartridges (the most common), as well as proprietary forms like Pax Era Pods and Airo Pro oil cartridges.
How do vape pens operate?
Vape oil cartridges operate in conjunction with vape pen batteries. The vape battery powers an atomizer in the cartridge that heats up the oil, activating its diverse chemical components. As you inhale, you draw in the vapor, which triggers the effects of medical cannabis. Certain vape batteries offer multiple functions for temperature customization and dose control, while others are draw-activated, eliminating the need to press buttons to activate.
Why opt for a vape oil cartridge?
Consider the following advantages:
Ease of use: Vape oil cartridges eliminate guesswork. Unlike other methods of consuming oil, these cartridges require minimal effort—simply press a button and inhale.
Portability: Vape oil cartridges are the most convenient way to consume medical cannabis while on the move. Their sleek design ensures discreet vaping, free from the conspicuous characteristics of larger setups. They produce minimal vapor and odor. Unlike concentrates, pre-loaded vape pens provide precise dosing with each inhalation, granting you better control over consumption.
Using a vape pen
It's straightforward: Attach your cartridge to the battery and begin! If there's an On/Off button, use it.
A few quick tips:For devices with an On/Off button, clicking it five times typically turns it on. The same number turns it off.Ensure your cartridge is securely attached to the battery to prevent oil leakage.Keep your vape pen upright to avoid oil leakage. Start with a gentle dosing approach. Begin with 1-2 inhalations, monitor your mental and physical state for a few minutes, then decide whether to repeat.Monitor temperature to prevent excessive heating that might alter the oil's chemical components—usually, three clicks adjust temperature on button-activated batteries.What is a 510 cartridge?A 510-thread cartridge is the most prevalent type of vape oil cartridge. "510" describes the threading used to connect the cartridge's bottom to the appropriate vape battery. Consult a patient care specialist to determine the suitable battery for your cartridge!
How long does a vape oil cartridge last?
The longevity of a vape oil cartridge depends on an individual's consumption rate and the volume of vapor inhaled with each dose.
Why isn't my cartridge full?
Air pressure in the cartridge can reduce oil levels.
The cartridge reservoir might intentionally be designed larger.
Extracted oil could be absorbed by the ceramic heating element.
