CANNABIS 101

One of the main cannabinoids found in cannabis. CBD is known for its medicinal purposes. Unlike THC, it delivers no psychoactive effects.

The chemical compounds found in cannabis flowers. The two main cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

A flowering plant made up of three common subspecies: cannabis indica, cannabis sativa, and cannabis ruderalis.

Extracts created through the use of a solvent to dissolve the resinous cannabinoids. They have a greater proportion of cannabinoids and terpenes than cannabis flowers. Cannabis concentrates can be found in many forms.

The smokable, trichome-covered bud of a female cannabis plant. It is often sold as loose flower (“nugs”) or as pre-rolled joints.

A food infused with cannabinoids. Because they are ingested rather than inhaled, cannabinoids take longer to enter the bloodstream, resulting in a delayed onset of effects. Their effects can also last longer, upwards of 4-6 hours.

The most well-known cannabinoid, THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis (the “high”).

Organic compounds found in the trichomes that provide the aroma and flavor of the cannabis plant.

A crystal-like resin gland found on cannabis flowers that holds all the cannabinoids and terpenes. Plants with more trichomes (“crystals”) are more potent.

A genetic variant of cannabis, typically a hybrid of the most common cannabis varieties, Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica.
