Know Your Cannabinoids: THC VS CBD

THC

CBD

CBN

THC

When introduced to your body's natural endocannabinoid system, THC can produce the psychoactive 'high' cannabis is best known for, working with terpenes to then create strain specific effects!

THCV

WHILE SIMILAR TO THC IN MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND PSYCHOACTIVE PROPERTY, THCV DIFFERS IN ITS ABILITY TO BOTH SUPPRESS APPETITE AND BOOST ENERGY LEVELS. THIS COMPOUND IS FOUND PRIMARILY IN SATIVA STRAINS.

CBD

Known to reduce inflammation and elicit soothing effects, CBD can work ALONGSIDE your BODY'S endocannabinoid system to provide stress and pain relief without the PSYCHOACTIVE EFFECTS!

CBG

Like CBN, CBG is only mildly psychoactive, but is responsible for various restorative and rejuvenation effects, and its therefore suggested to promote good mood and appetite stimulation.

CBC

​DERIVED FROM CBG AND KNOWN FOR WORKING ALONGSIDE THC TO PRODUCE A BLISSFUL SMOKING EXPERIENCE, CBC IS THE MINOR CANNABINOID RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EUPHORIC AND UPLIFTING PROPERTIES OF CERTAIN STRAINS!

CBN

While being only mildly psychoactive, CBN is primarily sedative and best used at nighttime as an aid in both in falling and staying asleep! It also possesses antibacterial and pro-digestive traits.

The Entourage Effect

Introduced in 1998 by scientists Shimon Ben-Shabat and Raphael Mechoulam, tHE ENTOURAGE EFFECT THEORY suggests that CANNABINOIDS work better together than in isolation. Consuming more than one at a time, for example in a CBD/THC 1:1, can elicit various unique effects as they interact with your body's natural ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM.

The Types: Indica, hybrid, & Sativa

SATIVA

INDICATED BY A TALLER AND ARIER PLANT WITH NARROW, LIGHT LEAVES THAT FLOWER OVER 10-16 WEEKS, MAKING SATIVAS A MORE INTENSIVE GROW. KNOWN FOR A SOCIAL, MOTIVATED & EUPHORIC HIGH.

HYBRID

OFFERING A VARYING BLEND OF BOTH APPEARANCES AND EFFECTS, HYBRID STRAINS ARE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS WITH A HIGH THAT CAN INDUCE A COMBINATION OF CALMING AND ENERGIZING RESPONSES.

INDICA

COMMONLY MORE SHORT AND DENSE THAN ITS SATIVA COUNTERPART, WITH WIDE DARK LEAVES THAT FLOWER OVER 6-8 WEEKS. FEATURING A HIGH THAT IS OFTEN MELLOW, RELAXING & APPETITE-STIMULATING.

Landrace Strains

LANDRACE STRAINS are cannabis VARIANTS that are indigenous to A PARTICULAR area, reaching the US through selective growing in the 1970's.

Hawaii and California both hosted ideal circumstances for growth, being optimal growing climates and generally secluded. Such isolation preserves the unique qualities of the individual strain, including their wider variety of TERPENES and CANNANBINOIDS. as a result these particular strains are typically 100% Indica or Sativa and are named after their origins.

EXAMPLES: Acapulco Gold, Lamb's Breath, Afghani Hash, Durban Poison, Columbian Gold, Hindu Kush, Purple Haze, Panama Red, Moroccan Kif, Malawi Gold, Thai Sativa, and Swazi Gold.

Terpene Crash Course: THC Percentages

While THC and other CANNABINOIDS are important, it is only half of the unique high produced by your favorite strains!​

Industry pros know that TERPENES are vital to the PSYCHOACTIVE EFFECT and AROMA of cannabis! They each contain special properties and effects, that, when combined
with THC or CBD, regardless of PERCENTAGE, create an ENTOURAGE EFFECT!
​
Due to CROSS-BREEDING and HYBRIDIZATION, specific terps can no longer be found in only INDICA or SATIVA strains, as a result these labels can sometimes misrepresent the effects of a product, so always ask your Budtender and be sure to keep track of your favorite terpenes!
