Go low and slow! We recommend starting with a small amount the first time, to understand your personal preferences and how it makes you feel. Edibles can take a few hours to fully metabolize, which means the effects are delayed. Start with 1 – 5 mgs (or one serving) first, wait 2 hours and see how you feel. Smoking flower is quite similar, however the effects are felt more immediately.

THC: When people think of cannabis, they generally are referring to THC which is the cannabinoid that makes you feel euphoric or ‘high’. The THC percentage shown on a cannabis testing label is the percentage of THC compared to other terpenes and cannabinoids, and not the total THC amount in that strain.

THCA is a naturally occurring acid that has no intoxicating effects until it’s heated (and then it turns until THC). The percentage value of THCA on a label represents the amount of THCA present. THCA has many potential healing benefits for arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and other ailments. While raw cannabis won’t leave you intoxicated, many people juice raw cannabis leaves for the many benefits found in THCA.

CBD is yet another cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, and is the second most abundant after THC. CBD is non-intoxicating and has many potential therapeutic benefits such as anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, analgesic, and pain management. You will also find a CBD percentage on cannabis labels. If you want a CBD dominant product, look for products with low THC or ask one of our Bbudtenders for help!

No, it is illegal to travel with cannabis across state lines, even if both states have legalized cannabis. It is also prohibited to carry cannabis on flights or other forms of interstate transportation.

Delta-8 and Delta-9 are both forms of THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. Delta-9 is the most common and is known for its potent effects. Delta-8 is a milder form of THC, providing similar but less intense effects, and is often considered to have fewer side effects.
