Understanding Cannabis Products

Cannabis comes in many forms, and each delivers a slightly different experience. Here’s a quick breakdown of common product types:

Flower (bud): The traditional way to consume cannabis—smoked in a joint, pipe, or bong. Effects are fast and customizable.
Pre-rolls: Pre-made joints, perfect for convenience and consistency.
Vapes: Portable and discreet, vaporizers offer quick onset without combustion.
Edibles: Gummies, chocolates, and drinks provide a long-lasting body high—ideal for pain, sleep, or stress relief.
Tinctures and oils: Taken under the tongue or added to food, they allow for precise dosing and steady effects.
Topicals: Lotions and balms for localized relief without a high.

Choosing the right product depends on your goals—whether you’re seeking relaxation, energy, creativity, or pain relief.

Cannabis Strains and Effects

There are three main types of cannabis strains, each with unique characteristics:

Indica: Known for calming, body-heavy effects. Great for sleep, pain relief, and stress.
Sativa: Energizing and uplifting, often used for daytime focus and creativity.
Hybrid: A blend of both, tailored for a more balanced experience.

Different strains also contain various terpenes—natural compounds that affect aroma and effect—further customizing the experience.
