Here are some popular methods!
SMOKING cannabis is the most traditional and common method of consumption. It involves inhaling the smoke from burning cannabis flowers. Smoking can be done using a pipe, bong, or rolled joint.
EDIBLES are food products that are infused with cannabis. They can include brownies, gummies, chocolates, and more. Edibles take longer to take effect than smoking, but the effects can last longer.
TINCTURES are liquid cannabis extracts that are taken orally. They are usually placed under the tongue and absorbed through the bloodstream. Tinctures are a discreet and convenient way to consume cannabis.
TOPICALS are cannabis-infused lotions, balms, and oils that are applied directly to the skin. They are often used for localized pain relief and can be a good option for those who don’t want to consume cannabis orally.
We think these are the most important words/definitions to learn about on your journey!
CANNABINOIDS
Cannabinoids are a group of chemical compounds found in cannabis that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS helps regulate various bodily functions, including appetite, mood, pain, and sleep. Some of the most well-known cannabinoids found in cannabis include:
CBD: This is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects.
THC: This is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis and is responsible for the plant’s euphoric effects.
CBG: This cannabinoid is believed to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
TERPENES
Terpenes are a group of organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They contribute to the plant’s aroma and flavor and may also have therapeutic effects. Some of the most common terpenes found in cannabis include:
Limonene: This terpene has a citrusy aroma and may have anti-inflammatory and mood-boosting effects.
Pinene: This terpene has a piney aroma and may have anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory effects.
Myrcene: This terpene has an earthy aroma and may have sedative and analgesic effects. Combining
Terpenes and Cannabinoids: Terpenes and cannabinoids work together to produce the unique effects and benefits of different strains of cannabis. This is known as the “entourage effect.” By understanding the different terpenes and cannabinoids found in cannabis, patients can choose strains that are best suited for their needs. In addition to their potential therapeutic benefits, terpenes and cannabinoids can also contribute to the overall experience of consuming cannabis. Patients may find that certain strains with specific combinations of terpenes and cannabinoids are more enjoyable to use than others. Overall, terpenes and cannabinoids are two important compounds found in cannabis that contribute to the plant’s effects and benefits. By understanding these compounds, patients can make informed decisions about which strains to use for their specific needs.
There has been so much debate over the years, we really do recommend you try both kinds to see how it affects you.
They are two very different kinds of plants, Sativa fan leaves are longer and thinner, while the Indica is fatter or more full. An Indica strain will typically produce more flower, and in the North East grows better than a Sativa because of where we are on the hemisphere. The Sativa generally requires more grow time as well. We think different strains may react differently in some people than others, so we suggest you give them both a go. To be safe some people just go with a hybrid, and there are many hybrid options out there with either Sativa or Indica dominant.
Enjoy and consume responsibly!
