Unlike photoperiod strains, autoflowering strains start to mature and make flowers/buds on their own without any change in light schedule. This keeps plants small and acting more like houseplants. Autoflowering strains are essentially immune to problems from light leaks (light at the wrong time can cause accidental re-vegging or hermies in photoperiod plants). Autoflowers are also known as cannabis ruderalis. Most modern autoflower strains are a blend of ruderalis and photoperiod indica/sativas.

Badder is a cannabis concentrate with a flexible, batter-like consistency. It falls within the category of cannabis extracts, which are sometimes known as "dabs" or "wax." These names are derived from the different textures and consistencies that these products can have, such as hard, glass-like "shatter," crumbly "crumble," sticky "wax," and, of course, soft and flexible "badder."

Badder is created by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant using a solvent such as butane or CO2. Following extraction, the product is purged to eliminate the solvent. The extract is stirred during this process, sometimes by whipping, which aerates the substance and gives badder its creamy, butter-like consistency.

One of the benefits of badder is its simplicity. Because of its soft, spreadable texture, it is simple to manage and load onto a dab rig or vape pen. Badder also has a high terpene concentration, which contributes to the flavor and aroma of the concentrate. When compared to other types of concentrates, this can result in a more tasty and aromatic experience.

However, badder, like all cannabis concentrates, is extremely potent, frequently holding up to 70% THC. This means that a little goes a long way, therefore consumers should dosage carefully, especially if they are new to concentrates.

Blazed is another term used to describe being high or stoned after consuming cannabis. When one is blazed, they may feel euphoric and have an altered perception of time and space. While different strains can produce varying effects, being blazed typically involves a feeling of relaxation, happiness, and a desire to enjoy various sensory experiences like music and food.

A bong is a particular kind of water pipe that is frequently used for cannabis smoking. Since ancient times, bongs have been treasured by many cultures for their propensity to produce smooth, filtered hits of cannabis smoke.

A bong has four main components: a base or reservoir that stores water, a bowl where cannabis is loaded and lit, a stem or downstem connecting the bowl to the base, and a mouthpiece through which the user inhales the smoke. Additionally, some bongs have a tiny hole known as a carb that can be covered or left open to regulate airflow and smoke output.

The water filtering system is the primary characteristic that sets a bong apart from other smoking devices. The smoke is sucked down through the stem of the bong, bubbles up through the water in the base, and then travels up the neck to be consumed when you ignite the cannabis in the bowl and puff through the mouthpiece. The smoke is cooled and purified throughout this procedure, making it easier on the throat and lungs.

Bongs can be created from a variety of materials, such as glass, acrylic, ceramic and even bamboo. They can have simple, straightforward designs or be intricate, artistic, and personalized pieces.

A "bowl" in the cannabis world refers to the small, cup-like chamber found in a pipe, bong, or other smoking device where ground marijuana flower is placed for smoking. The bowl is an important part of these devices because it keeps the cannabis in place while the user lights it and inhales the smoke or vapor through the mouthpiece. Bowls can be made from a variety of materials such as glass, metal, wood, and ceramic, each with its own aesthetics and functionality. To pack a bowl, the cannabis flower must first be ground into a uniform consistency to ensure even burning. The ground cannabis is then carefully placed into the bowl, being careful not to pack it too tightly, as this could restrict airflow and make drawing smoke through the device difficult. After packing the bowl, the user inhales through the mouthpiece, drawing the smoke into their lungs, while holding a flame, typically from a lighter or hemp wick, to the cannabis. Bowls are available in a variety of sizes and designs, allowing users to tailor their smoking experience to their preferences and the type of smoking device they are using. Depending on the size of the bowl and the user's desired level of consumption, a well-packed bowl can provide several hits or inhalations.

The term "broad spectrum" is frequently applied to CBD (cannabidiol) products made from cannabis plants. It refers to a specific kind of CBD extract that contains a variety of naturally occurring substances from the cannabis plant, but THC, the psychoactive ingredient that gives marijuana users their "high," is most notably absent.

More than a hundred different cannabinoids, including CBD and THC as well as terpenes and flavonoids, are responsible for the aroma and flavor of the cannabis plant. The "entourage effect," which occurs when all these substances are present at once, allows them to work synergistically and may increase the plant's health advantages.

While eliminating the THC, broad-range CBD products aim to maintain this entourage effect. This is accomplished by refining the material after the initial extraction. There is no detectable THC in the finished product, but it does include a variety of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other advantageous substances. For people who want to avoid any potential psychoactive effects or who must avoid THC due to legal or professional requirements, broad-spectrum products are a popular choice.

The person who is working with you at the register or point of sale; usually someone incredibly knowledgeable about terpenes, genetics, and different dosage types.

Butane Hash Oil (BHO) is a form of cannabis concentrate made by extracting useful components from the marijuana plant using butane as a solvent. Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, as well as terpenes, are responsible for the distinct smells and odors of the different cannabis strains. Butane is passed through cannabis material to extract these chemicals, resulting in a strong and tasty concentrate. Depending on the precise post-extraction processing processes utilized, the resultant product can take numerous forms. These can include, but are not limited to, shatter, wax, crumble, or budder. These BHO concentrates are notorious for their high THC content, which can reach 80% or higher, making them far more potent than regular cannabis flower.

BHO concentrations are typically consumed through a process known as "dabbing." This is accomplished by heating a small quantity of the concentration on a hot surface, commonly a nail or banger, and then inhaling the vapor through a bong or rig. Because of the high THC content, the effects are usually noticed relatively quickly. While BHO provides a distinct and strong cannabis experience, it's crucial to know that, due to the flammability of butane, manufacturing BHO at home can be exceedingly dangerous. As a result, it is usually best to leave the extraction procedure to professionals and to buy concentrates from a trustworthy supplier such as Fine Fettle.

BA is a marijuana concentrate with a soft, batter-like texture.

BD is a marijuana concentrate with a soft, buttery texture.

BH is a solventless, live concentrate composed of trichomes from fresh, flash-frozen flowers. Using ice water, agitation, and a sieve, the product is cold-filtered to create a pure powder that is pressed into a hash concentrate.

Cannabinoid receptors are specialized protein molecules found on the surface of human cells. They are essential components of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex cell-signaling system that aids in the regulation of various physiological processes such as mood, appetite, pain sensation, and immune function. The ECS is made up of three major components: endocannabinoids, which are naturally occurring compounds with structures similar to cannabinoids found in cannabis; enzymes that help synthesize and degrade endocannabinoids; and cannabinoid receptors themselves. Cannabinoid receptors are classified into two types: CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are found primarily in the brain and central nervous system, whereas CB2 receptors are found in the peripheral nervous system, immune cells, and various organs throughout the body. When cannabis is consumed, active compounds in the plant, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), interact with cannabinoid receptors to produce a variety of effects. THC, for example, strongly binds to CB1 receptors, which are abundant in brain regions involved in mood, memory, and pain perception. The psychoactive effects commonly associated with marijuana use are the result of this interaction. CBD, on the other hand, interacts with cannabinoid receptors in a more complicated way. It does not bind to CB1 or CB2 receptors directly, but it can influence their activity indirectly. CBD's distinct mechanism of action is thought to contribute to its potential therapeutic benefits, such as pain relief, anxiety reduction, and seizure reduction.

A primary compound found in the cannabis plant. It binds with receptors in our endocannabinoid system to produce the medicinal effects associated with cannabis.

A flowering genus of plants in the Cannabaceae family most often used to describe cannabis strains that contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). There are three species: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Cannabis is native to Asia, but grows almost everywhere in the world and has long been cultivated for the production of hemp as well as various other uses.

Cart sauce is used to describe a specific form of cannabis concentrate that is often consumed using a vape cartridge. It is the thick, sought after liquid contained inside the cartridge.

A vape cartridge is a small, pre-filled container that contains a concentrated cannabis extract, usually in the form of oil. The cart sauce is a viscous, sticky material that contains a high concentration of cannabinoids like THC and CBD, as well as terpenes.

The term "cart sauce" emphasizes the significance of the flavorful experience that these vape cartridges offer. The sauce is responsible for creating the particular flavor and scent associated with different cannabis strains. Cart sauce is prepared by modern extraction procedures that carefully isolate the necessary cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant. These methods produce a concentrated and powerful extract that can be consumed with a vape pen or battery-powered vaporizer.

The user inhales the vapor produced by heating the liquid in the cartridge when consuming cart sauce. This provides a discreet and handy way to enjoy the effects of cannabis without the need for combustion.

A pre-filled container of cannabis oil or concentrate known as a cartridge, or "cart," is intended for use with a vaporizer or vape pen. Because of their versatility, mobility, and simplicity of use, these cartridges are becoming vastly more popular.

To guarantee that it can be effectively vaporized, the cannabis oil in a cartridge is often made with a blend of cannabinoids, including THC and/or CBD, terpenes, and occasionally thinning agents. Users have a wide range of options to fit their interests and needs because cartridges are available in a wide number of strains, flavors, and potencies.

Cartridges' and vape pens' discretion is one of their main benefits. People who want to use cannabis more covertly frequently choose cartridges because the vapor they produce has a significantly less overt aroma than traditional cannabis smoke.

A cannabis terpene, best known for its spicy and peppery note. Caryophyllene is found in black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and spices like oregano, basil, and rosemary. Beta-caryophyllene binds to CB2 receptors, which makes it a component in anti-inflammatory topicals and creams. Caryophyllene is the only terpene that binds directly to cannabinoid receptors. Besides its potential analgesic and anti-anxiety properties, some studies have found that caryophyllene may have very promising properties when it comes to alcoholism rehabilitation. A group of scientists performed research on mice and found that this terpene reduces voluntary intake of alcohol. They even recommended caryophyllene for treating alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Short for Cannabidiol. CBD is one of the better-known cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It’s a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, unlike its popular counterpart, THC. It is currently being studied for its therapeutic benefits in providing relief for anxiety, pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, and inflammation.

Cannabis clones are clippings from a mother plant and that share identical genetics with the mother plant, hence the name “clones.” When planted and carefully tended, a clone can be grown into a fully mature marijuana plant that is genetically identical to its mother plant.

A "concentrate" is a highly potent product derived from the marijuana plant through various extraction processes in the cannabis world. These methods are intended to separate and concentrate the most desirable compounds, such as cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD) and terpenes, while leaving plant matter and impurities behind. As a result, the product has significantly higher potency and purity than traditional cannabis flowers. Concentrates vary in form, texture, and potency depending on the extraction method and the specific compounds targeted. Among the most common types of concentrates are: Shatter is a glassy, brittle concentrate with a clear appearance and a high THC content. Wax: A soft, opaque concentrate with a similar texture to candle wax. Budder: A buttery, creamy concentrate known for its smooth consistency and high terpene content. Crumble: A dry, crumbly concentrate that is easy to handle and high in THC and terpenes. Distillate: A highly refined, near-pure concentrate that, due to its potency and lack of flavor or aroma, is frequently used in vape cartridges and edibles. Concentrates can be consumed in a variety of ways, including by dabbing, vaporizing, and mixing them into edibles.

CH is a marijuana concentrate consisting of dry-sift trichomes heated and pressed into a brick-like form.

CS/SH is a marijuana concentrate with a glass-like form.

CK is a marijuana concentrate made of dry-sift trichomes.

CR is a marijuana concentrate with a soft, crumbly texture.

Cross (genetics) plays a critical role in the cannabis industry, as it involves the process of breeding two or more distinct strains to produce a new and unique variety. This technique is commonly used by breeders to combine desirable traits from various strains, such as potency, growth characteristics, aroma, and flavor. The creation of hybrids through cross (genetics) has led to an extensive range of options for both recreational users and medical marijuana patients. By experimenting with different combinations of parent strains like Kush or Landrace varieties, breeders can develop plants tailored to specific needs – from pain relief to anxiety reduction.

Dabs, also known as cannabis concentrates, are potent cannabis extracts containing high levels of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD (cannabidiol). These concentrates are inhaled through a dab rig after being heated on a nail or banger. Dabs are available in shatter, wax, crumble, and budder. They are made using BHO, CO2, and solventless procedures such as rosin pressing. While removing contaminants, these methods isolate and retain terpenes and cannabinoids. Dabbing is popular among cannabis enthusiasts due to its potency, quick effects, and efficient use of cannabis material. Dabs contain more cannabinoids than flower, so they produce stronger and longer-lasting effects. Because of their potency, dabs are preferred by medical marijuana patients seeking immediate relief from pain, inflammation, and anxiety. A water pipe, a nail or banger (the heating element), a dabber, and a carb cap (a lid that helps retain heat and direct airflow) are required for dabbing . A butane torch is used to heat the nail or banger to the proper temperature. The dabber applies the concentrate to the hot surface, which vaporizes quickly. The vapor is inhaled by the user via the water pipe. Dabbing is not recommended for new cannabis users due to its potency and risk of overconsumption. Butane torches and hot surfaces are also required for dabbing. Please always cannabis responsibly and safely in accordance with local laws.

Dank is a term that describes high-quality cannabis. When someone says their buds are dank, they mean the flower has an overpowering smell and potent effects when consumed. It's important to note that not all strains of cannabis are created equal, some will have stronger scents and more intense psychoactive properties than others. For those who want the best

possible experience when consuming marijuana, seeking out strains described as "dank" is always a good idea. Dank buds usually contain high levels of terpenes and cannabinoids, which contribute to the unique aroma and flavor profiles of different cannabis strains.

The process that uses heat to convert THC-A into THC. This process “activates” the cannabinoids by making them recognizable to your body. Without decarboxylation, the effects of THC cannot be experienced.

Diamonds/sauce/HTE is a commonly used moniker for a specific form of cannabis concentrate. It refers to an extremely potent and flavorful extract produced using modern extraction procedures. The crystalline forms known as "diamonds" occur in certain cannabis extracts. These crystals are made up of pure cannabinoids, primarily THC or CBD, and are well-known for their strength. They are named because of their resemblance to small, dazzling diamonds.

The term "sauce" refers to the liquid that surrounds the diamonds. It is high in terpenes, fragrant chemicals that give cannabis strains their distinct aromas and fragrances. The sauce enhances the overall flavor of the concentrate. The abbreviation "HTE" stands for "High Terpene Extract," and it highlights the concentrate's high terpene content. Cannabis fans who appreciate the taste and aromatic elements of the plant are often fond of HTE.

Diamonds/sauce/HTE are created by carefully purging the concentrate of solvents while maintaining specific temperature and pressure conditions. This causes the cannabis to crystallize into diamonds, while the terpenes in the surrounding sauce are preserved.

Diamonds/sauce/HTE provide a strong and tasty experience when eaten. The high concentration of cannabinoids has a strong effect, while the abundance of terpenes contributes to a varied and delightful flavor.

In CT, all Dispensary Pharmacists are licensed pharmacists. To be a licensed pharmacist, you must have graduated from an accredited university with a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, or a Bachelors of Pharmacy (BS Pharm) degree, and have passed licensing exams

In CT, all Dispensary Technicians are state-registered pharmacy technicians. This means that they previously worked in a traditional pharmacy setting (i.e., retail, hospital, long-term care) under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist.

A legal cannabis store. Depending on state, location, or law, a dispensary can be medical-only, adult-use, or hybrid (allowing both types of sales).

A distillate is a specific type of concentrate. Distillates go through an extra round of refinement to produce the purest of pure cannabis THC oil in its activated form. Distillate may contain the purest form of THC oil, but the process strips all other compounds from the plant, such as terpenes. Distillate must be re-infused with terpenes in order to contain a flavor.

A "doobie" is slang for a marijuana cigarette, also known as a joint. It is made by rolling ground cannabis flowers into a thin paper made from plant-based materials like hemp, rice, or wood pulp. Once rolled, the doobie can be lit at one end and used to inhale smoke through the other. Doobies are a popular and traditional method of marijuana consumption because they are portable, shareable, and relatively simple to prepare. To make a doobie, begin by grinding the cannabis flowers until they are uniform in consistency and will burn evenly. After carefully spreading the ground cannabis along the crease of a rolling paper, the paper is gently rolled around the cannabis to form a cylinder. Finally, the paper's edge is licked to seal the doobie, and a filter or "crutch" may be added to one end to improve grip and prevent plant material inhalation. Depending on the user's preferences and skill level, doobies can be rolled in a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. Some users prefer thin, cigarette-style joints, while others prefer thicker, cone-shaped joints. Pre-rolled cones are also available for those who find rolling a doobie difficult.

Individualized amount of cannabinoids within products. Dosing depends on titration, which is the process of increasing medication amounts until the desired effect is achieved.

Edibles are cannabis-infused foods or beverages. Edibles can have either small (2.5-5mg) or large (sometimes upwards of 200mg) dosages of THC or other cannabinoids. Depending on what you have eaten, your metabolism, and other factors, edibles can “kick in” at different times and strengths for different users. Edibles tend to “last longer” than smoking or vaping. Start low and go slow!

The endocannabinoid system is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous, lipid-based, retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the vertebrate central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

When we smoke or vaporize cannabis, our bodies take in hundreds of botanical compounds. Each one arrives with unique effects and benefits, and their behavior may change in the presence of other compounds. This is the entourage effect. The entourage effect is mainly in reference to a full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes working naturally together.

A fan leaf (also sometimes called a “water leaf”) is a leaf in the standard “cannabis leaf” shape. Most leaves on the plants are fan leaves. They typically are on a stem with an odd number of “points” or fingers. Mature fan leaves typically have 7, 9, or 11 points per leaf.

Fertigation means providing nutrients in the water you give to your cannabis plants. Cannabis plants typically grow faster when they get nutrients from the water as opposed to seeking out nutrients in soil.

Flavonoids are a group of compounds found in cannabis. They help terpenes provide the unique flavors that cannabis strains have. Flavonoids are a part of the entourage effect.

In the world of cannabis, the term "flower" refers to the dried and cured buds of the female marijuana plant. These buds, often simply called "flowers" or "nugs," are the part of the plant that contains the highest concentration of cannabinoids, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), as well as terpenes, which are responsible for the plant's unique aroma and flavor profiles.Cannabis flowers are typically harvested, trimmed, and then dried and cured to remove excess moisture and preserve the plant's valuable compounds. Once properly cured, the flowers are ready for consumption. They can be smoked, vaporized, or used as the base material for various cannabis-infused products, such as edibles, tinctures, and topicals.One of the main appeals of cannabis flowers is the wide variety of strains available, each offering a unique combination of flavors, aromas, and effects. There are two primary types of cannabis plants: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, with numerous hybrid strains that combine characteristics of both. Sativa strains are typically associated with uplifting and energetic effects, while indica strains are known for their relaxing and sedative properties. When consuming cannabis flowers, it's important to consider factors such as the strain, THC and CBD content, and the desired effects. Grinding the flower before consumption helps to release the plant's full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes, enhancing the overall experience.

The flowering stage is the part of a cannabis plant’s life cycle during which it grows fewer leaves and branches and concentrates on making flowers.

Full spectrum bubble hash is a term used in the cannabis consumption community to describe a type of cannabis concentrate that is highly praised for its high levels of cannabinoids and terpenes. It is a type of hashish that is made using a careful method called "bubble hash" or "ice water extraction." Full spectrum bubble hash is made by submerging cannabis plant material in ice-cold water and agitating it to separate the resinous trichomes from the plant matter. The trichomes, which contain the desirable cannabinoids and terpenes, are then collected and dried.

The term "full spectrum" stresses the comprehensive range of cannabinoids and terpenes present in the bubble hash. Full spectrum products try to keep the natural chemical makeup of the cannabis plant, so they have a wide range of compounds that work well together.

When consumed, full spectrum bubble hash gives a robust and nuanced experience due to the entourage effect. The entourage effect is the synergistic interaction between cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds found in the plant, which is believed to improve the overall effects and therapeutic potential.

Growing a seed into a seedling; this is how cannabis plants begin life unless you use a clone.

A tool used to “grind” flowers into smaller, more manageable bits. This makes it easier to use in general, since you don’t want to roll a whole bud into a joint or try to vaporize it. Marijuana processed in a grinder has a consistency similar to oregano.

Hash, which is short for hashish, is a potent cannabis extract that has been used for centuries. The cannabis plant's trichomes, or resin glands, are what produce hash, which is the Arabic word for "grass." The largest concentration of terpenes and cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, may be found in these trichomes.

These trichomes must be separated from the plant material and compressed into a solid or semi-solid block in order to produce hash. The outcome is a product that is stronger than standard cannabis flowers. Depending on how it is made and the plant material used, hash can be any color, from pale green or brown to nearly black. There are numerous methods to ingest hash. It can be vaped in a concentrates-only device or smoked in a pipe, bong, or joint. Others take it orally in the form of food or edibles. Hash's effects are comparable to those of other cannabis products, but they are often stronger because of the heightened THC content.

Hemp is a strain of the Cannabis sativa plant that is grown primarily for industrial use. Despite being a part of the cannabis family, hemp is not the same as the cannabis plant used for marijuana usage. The main distinction is the presence of the psychoactive chemical THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). While marijuana plants have high quantities of THC, hemp plants have just trace amounts equating to usually less than 0.3% by dry weight.

Hemp does not provide the "high" associated with marijuana due to its low THC concentration. Instead, it is most often used to make paper, textiles, clothes, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biodiesel, and animal feed.

Hemp, interestingly, contains CBD (cannabidiol), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is gaining popularity for its possible therapeutic effects. This has resulted in the development of a wide range of hemp-derived CBD products, including oils, edibles, topicals, and more.

Humulene was the first terpene found in hops. Its aroma contains earthy, woody, and spicy notes. Besides cannabis, it can also be found in clove, sage, and black pepper. It has a variety of medical properties. Early research has shown humulene to be anti-proliferative, meaning it may prevent cancer cells from growing.

Hybrid refers to a plant that is a genetic cross between one or more separate strains of cannabis. Hybrids can happen unintentionally, but they are usually bred specifically to combine desired traits of the original plants. Most marijuana on the market today is some form of hybrid.

Hydroponics refers to a system of gardening that does not use soil. Plants are grown in water and receive their nutrients from the addition of solutions rather than soil. For growers, hydroponic advantages include more control over nutrient intake and stability. In terms of marijuana production, plants grown hydroponically are sometimes said to have cleaner, more distinct flavors.

IWH is a solventless concentrate composed of trichomes separated from flowers using ice water agitation. The product is cold-filtered through a sieve to create a pure powder.

Ice wax talks about a type of cannabis extract that is known for being very pure and having strong effects. It is a preparation that is made without the use of any solvents. This is done with a special method called "ice water extraction." Ice wax is made by putting parts of the cannabis plant in ice-cold water and stirring it up. This process causes the sticky glands on the cannabis plant, called trichomes, which contain cannabinoids and terpenes, to break off and separate from the rest of the plant. The mixture is then strained to get the trichomes, which are then dried and pressed into a sticky, waxy material.

The name "ice wax" comes from the fact that ice and water are used to make it. The resulting concentrate is very strong and full of cannabinoids and delicious terpenes, like THC or CBD.

Ice wax is known for being pure because there are no solvents used in the process of getting it. This makes it a popular choice for people who like weed but want a clean and natural experience.

When ice wax is eaten, it gives a strong and tasty high. To get the most out of it, you can use it in different ways, like dipping or vaporizing. Due to the high concentration of cannabinoids, it's important to start with small doses and raise them as needed, especially if you're new to concentrated cannabis products.

Indica is one of two primary cannabis plant types, the other being sativa. Cannabis indica strains are popular among marijuana users looking to relax, de-stress, or relieve pain due to their relaxing, sedative, and body-centric effects. When compared to sativa strains, indica strains typically have a higher CBD (cannabidiol) content and a lower THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content, which contributes to their distinct effects. Cannabis indica plants have a short, bushy appearance, broad, dark green leaves, and densely packed buds. They typically flower faster than sativa plants, making them more appealing to growers looking for a faster harvest. Indica strains are prized for their distinct flavors, aromas, and sedative effects. Indica strains can have a wide range of flavors and aromas, but they typically have earthy, skunky, or sweet notes. Northern Lights, Granddaddy Purple, and Blueberry are three popular indica strains, each with its own distinct flavor and effect. Indica strains are ideal for evening or nighttime use due to their relaxing and sedative properties, which can assist users in unwinding and preparing for sleep. They may also provide relief for those suffering from chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, or muscle spasms due to their calming and soothing effects.

A joint is a cannabis cigarette rolled using non-tobacco papers.

Kief is a collected amount of trichomes that have been separated from the rest of the marijuana flower. Since trichomes are the sticky crystals that contain the vast majority of the plant’s cannabinoids, kief is more potent than a flower, but is normally less potent than a concentrate.

Landrace strains are cannabis varieties that are indigenous to a particular geographic area and have evolved over time to thrive in their specific environment. These strains offer unique characteristics in terms of aroma, taste, and effects that reflect the local growing conditions. For example, Durban Poison is a South African landrace strain known for its uplifting cerebral effects and sweet anise flavor profile.

Another prevalent terpene found not only in cannabis but in the peels of citrus fruits and cardamom, limonene (named for its lemon scent and taste) is being studied for its antifungal and antibacterial properties.

This terpene is the most responsible for the recognizable marijuana smell with its spicy and floral notes. Linalool is also found in lavender, mint, cinnamon, and coriander. What’s interesting is that just like those aromatic herbs, it may have strong sedative and relaxing properties.

Live resin uses fresh, frozen cannabis flowers cut from the grow before they’ve been dried or cured, and then processed, resulting in elevated terpene levels. Live resin manages to maintain a really beautiful terpene profile because it’s capturing the terpenes of a live plant as opposed to that of the dried and cured flowers used in most concentrates. Live resin is a wonderful and tasty way to capture the layered flavors of the cannabis flower without losing much in the process.

Thought to be one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis, myrcene is found not only in cannabis but in other plants like wild thyme, sweet basil, mango, and hops. It is being studied as having potential anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

An "oil rig" is a customized apparatus that is used to consume cannabis concentrates, sometimes known as "dabbing." Dabbing is the process of heating a little amount of cannabis concentrate on a heated surface and inhaling the vapor that results. The oil rig, sometimes also known as a "rig," is the piece of equipment that makes this process possible.

Rigs are often made up of multiple parts. The body, which is comparable to a water pipe or bong and retains water for filtering, comes first. A nail or banger is attached to the body and serves as the surface on which the concentrate is deposited and heated. The nail can be composed of a variety of materials, including titanium, quartz, or ceramic, each with its own set of heat retention and flavor profiles.

To use an oil rig, heat the nail with a torch until it is extremely hot, then cool it for a second. Then, using a dab tool, apply a small amount of cannabis concentrate to the nail. The concentrate vaporizes instantly when it comes into contact with the heated nail. The vapor is inhaled through the mouthpiece of the rig, much like a regular water pipe. Rigs can range in size and complexity from simple, plain designs to sophisticated, creative creations. When using an oil rig, always use caution when handling the torch and hot nail to avoid unanticipated burns, and consume cannabis concentrates safely and with caution because of their high potency.

Phenotype is a term that is heard most often in growing. It refers to the general physical characteristics of the plant such as height, color, branching, and leaf configuration down to cell structure–any markers that can be used to identify and judge the healthiness of a plant.

Another terpene found in marijuana as well as in orange peels, pine needles, rosemary, dill, and parsley. Pinene derives its name from its woodsy, piney aroma. Pinene is being researched for its memory-enhancing effects, potential to prompt alertness, and as a bronchodilator.

One of the oldest and most popular tools for using cannabis products is the pipe. They come in a variety of forms, sizes, and materials, but their primary purpose is to open a passageway for inhaling cannabis smoke.

A standard pipe is made up of three parts: a "bowl" where the cannabis is placed and lit, a "stem" or "shank" that directs the smoke, and a "mouthpiece" through which the user inhales it. Additionally, some pipes feature a tiny hole known as a "carb" that enables the user to regulate the airflow and, consequently, the force of the hit.

A wide range of materials, including glass, metal, wood, and even stone, can be used to create pipes. Each substance has an impact on flavor and the smoking experience as a whole. Glass pipes are most common because they don't give the cannabis any additional flavor.

Pistils are part of a female plant’s anatomy. On cannabis, it’s identified as the little hair-like extensions on the flowers that range in color from white to red to darker orange-brown. When plants are going to be fertilized, the pistil acts to collect the male pollen. When plants are left unfertilized, as in the case of marijuana, the pistils change and can be indicators of plant ripeness.

When discussing marijuana, potency refers to a cannabis product's strength or effectiveness. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive component in cannabis that causes the "high," is most frequently linked to it by its concentration. The concentration of other cannabinoids, such as CBD (cannabidiol) and terpenes, which can affect a cannabis product's overall effects, might also be referred to as potency. When reviewing products, ensure that you are reviewing the potencies of each to ensure that you are purchasing your desired product.

The euphoric effects of high-potency cannabis strains or products are frequently more noticeable because they contain a high amount of THC. Low-potency strains, on the other hand, contain less THC and might have softer effects. It's crucial to remember that higher potency does not always equate to higher quality. Each person's tolerance levels, desired outcomes, and preferences will determine the best option.

See “joint”.

In the cannabis world, "purity" refers to the concentration of desired chemicals in a specific product, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), and other cannabinoids and terpenes. The purer a cannabis product, the less presence of contaminants or undesired chemicals it contains. This can include residual solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, and molds.

When discussing cannabis concentrates and extracts, the topic of purity becomes very important. These products are extracted using various methods meant to isolate and concentrate the plant's most valuable constituents. A pure concentrate will have a high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes as well as low amounts of contaminants, resulting in a clean and strong cannabis experience or a better high. Cannabis flowers that are pure or of high grade are often grown in regulated settings, free of hazardous pesticides and toxins. To preserve their cannabinoid and terpene characteristics, they are properly cured, kept, and stored.

The cannabis industry relies heavily on purity testing. Reputable dispensaries and producers frequently use third-party laboratories to confirm that their products meet purity standards and are safe for use. These tests can provide precise information about the cannabinoid and terpene content of the product as well as screen for any impurities.

RE is a live concentrate made from fresh, flash frozen flowers to extract the full flavor.

RO is a solventless, live concentrate made by extracting BH through a rosin press.

A "rig" is a device used to inhale cannabis concentrates. A dab rig, or "rig" for short, looks like a standard water pipe or bong. It's designed exclusively for vaping cannabis concentrates thanks to a few key characteristics. The main chamber, which contains water to filter and cool the vapor, the downstem, which connects the chamber to the nail or banger, and the mouthpiece, through which the user inhales the vapor, are the essential parts of a dab rig.The nail or banger is the rig's heating element and can be made of ceramic, titanium, or quartz. This part is heated to the correct temperature for vaporizing the cannabis concentrate, typically with a butane torch. A dabber tool, made to safely handle sticky, waxy, or otherwise delicate concentrates, is used to transfer the heated material from the dabber to the nail or banger. The concentrate is heated in a water chamber, and the user inhales the vapor through the mouthpiece. This procedure smooths out the vapor by filtering and cooling it. A carb cap is a tiny lid found on some dab rigs that helps guide airflow and maintain heat for more efficient vaporization.

A roach refers to the leftover butt of a joint or blunt that is too small or burnt down for further smoking. In some cases, people will save their roaches and use them later to make edibles or extract the remaining THC.

Rosin is a solventless concentrate that’s made by heating and compressing the flowers, kief, or hash from the cannabis plant. This high potency concentrate is becoming popular because of its distinct lack of additives like butane or alcohol.

Rick Simpson Oil, or RSO, is a cannabis oil product. RSO differs from a lot of other cannabis oils because it contains higher levels of THC. This is the main psychoactive cannabinoid in marijuana. RSO generally refers to a pure extract of THC-rich cannabis oil intended for oral consumption. Since RSO is meant to be ingested, it needs to be decarboxylated beforehand so the THC is already activated.

Ruderalis is unique in the cannabis world because of its low-THC content and CBD-rich genetics. It's also known for its autoflowering ability, which means it doesn't require a specific light cycle to start flowering like other varieties. Ruderalis strains are often used for medicinal purposes as they provide potent anti-inflammatory effects, making them helpful for treating chronic pain, epilepsy, and anxiety disorders.

Sativa is one of two primary cannabis plant types, the other being indica. Cannabis sativa strains are popular among marijuana users who want to stay active, social, or focused due to their uplifting, energetic, and cerebral effects. When compared to indica strains, sativa strains typically have higher THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content and lower CBD (cannabidiol) content, which contributes to their distinct effects. Cannabis sativa plants are distinguished by their tall, slender stature, long, narrow leaves, and densely packed buds. They typically take longer to flower than indica plants, necessitating more patience from growers. However, the wait is frequently worthwhile because sativa strains are prized for their distinct flavors, aromas, and effects. Sativa strains vary greatly in flavor and aroma, but they frequently have fruity, sweet, or earthy notes. Popular sativa strains include Jack Herer, Sour Diesel, and Green Crack, each with their own distinct flavor and effect profile. Sativa strains are ideal for daytime use due to their energizing and uplifting properties, which can assist users in remaining focused, creative, and alert. They may also be useful for those suffering from mood disorders, fatigue, or chronic pain, as they may provide relief without the sedative effects commonly associated with indica strains.

Drugs, substances, or chemicals that have no currently accepted medical use and have a high potential for abuse. This federal list is established by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

"Shake" refers to small, loose fragments of marijuana flower that have broken off from larger buds over time in the cannabis world. Shake is typically found at the bottom of a cannabis container or bag and is made up of small bud pieces, leaves, stems, and, on occasion, trichomes. While shake may not be as visually appealing as whole buds, for those who don't mind its less-than-perfect appearance, it can still provide an enjoyable and cost-effective smoking experience. Shake is frequently less expensive than whole buds because it is perceived to be less potent, but this is not always the case. The potency of shake varies depending on the strain and the quality of the original flower from which it was derived. Shake can be just as potent as whole buds, if not more so, because it collects trichomes that have fallen off during handling. Many marijuana users consider shake to be a practical and cost-effective option for a variety of purposes. It can be used to roll joints or blunts, fill bowls in a pipe or bong, or even to make cannabis-infused edibles or concentrates. However, because of its increased surface area and exposure to air, shake can be drier and harsher to smoke than whole buds.

Shatter is a cannabis concentrate that is noted for its distinct physical features and high potency. The word "shatter" refers to its glass-like consistency and transparency, which, like hard candy, can literally shatter into pieces if dropped or handled harshly.

Shatter is created utilizing a specific extraction method that involves the use of a solvent, typically butane or CO2, to isolate the desired components in the cannabis plant, such as THC, CBD, and terpenes. The solvent is subsequently purged, yielding a concentrate rich in cannabinoids and terpenes. The final product is often amber or golden in color and can contain up to 80% THC, making it far more potent than ordinary cannabis flowers.

One of the most prevalent methods of consuming shatter is by "dabbing." This involves heating a small piece of shatter on a heated surface, usually a nail or banger attached to a dab rig, and inhaling the ensuing vapor through the glass apparatus. Because of the high THC content, the effects are usually noticed quickly and should be consumed safely.

It is critical to be aware of the potency of shatter when handling and consuming it. Because of the high THC content, even a small amount can create profound effects, so it is recommended that you start slowly and regulate consumption accordingly.

"Skunk" is a name used to designate a specific category of cannabis strains recognized for their strong, pungent aroma, similar to that of a skunk. The phrase originated in the 1970s, when a strain known as Skunk #1 was produced. Skunk #1 gained popularity owing to its powerful effects and unusual odor, and it served as the genetic foundation for many later cannabis strains.

Skunk strains are often high in THC, cannabis' psychoactive ingredient, making them intense and quick-acting. They are popular among both recreational and medical users due to their euphoric and soothing effects. Skunk strains may be beneficial to medical users in the treatment of diseases such as pain, sleeplessness, and stress.

The term "spice" is frequently used to describe a form of synthetic cannabis. Spice is a synthetic substance, as opposed to natural cannabis, which is obtained straight from the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant. It is made up of a variety of dried plant components that have been coated with synthetic substances meant to replicate the effects of natural cannabinoids found in cannabis, such as THC.

Spice is known to be unpredictable and potentially harmful while being advertised as a safe or legal alternative to cannabis. Spice's synthetic components are not derived from the cannabis plant, and their effects can be markedly different and substantially more intense. Spice consumption has been associated with a number of negative health impacts, including increased heart rate, vomiting, violent behavior, suicidal thoughts, and even death.

Furthermore, because spice is a synthetic product, its composition might differ significantly from batch to batch. This makes it difficult for individuals to understand what they are ingesting and how it may affect them.

A cannabis strain refers to a specific variety of cannabis. Strains are developed to produce distinct desired traits in the plant and are usually named by their breeders (or by creative consumers).

The term sugar shatter is used to describe a form of cannabis concentrate recognized for its distinct texture and strong potency. It's a type of shatter, which is a translucent, glass-like concentration with a sweet, granular texture. Sugar shatter is named by its look, which resembles crystallized sugar or damp sand. The texture is caused by the extraction process as well as the conditions during purging and curing. The existence of tiny crystals that develop within the concentrate causes the granular consistency.

Cannabis plant material is processed using solvents such as butane or propane to extract the necessary cannabinoids and terpenes to make sugar shatter. The extracted solution is subsequently purged of any remaining solvents and exposed to precise temperatures and pressures to promote crystallization. Sugar shatter's extreme potency stems from its strong cannabis content, primarily THC or CBD. It has much higher levels of cannabinoids than typical cannabis flower.

Sugar shatter is usually consumed by dabbing, which is a method of vaporizing the concentrate with a specialized dab rig or vaporizer. Because of its granular consistency, it is easy to handle and portion out for edibles, as well.

TS is a crystalline marijuana concentrate with high levels of terpenes.

TSG is a marijuana concentrate with high levels of terpenes and a fine, crystalline texture.

Temple ball hash is a term that is used to talk about a traditional, handmade kind of hashish that comes from places like Nepal, Afghanistan, and India. It is known for its unique shape, which is a tight, hand-rolled ball. This form is made through a careful and labor-intensive process. To make temple ball hash, cannabis plants that are ready to be picked are picked and dried. Then, the sticky trichomes, which have cannabinoids and terpenes, are carefully taken off the plant. Hashish is made by collecting the trichomes and working them by hand, often with a little heat and pressure. This makes a mass that is easy to shape and stays together.

The name "temple ball" comes from how hashish was used in the past. Historically, it was used during spiritual and meditative practices in temples and other holy places. Temple ball hash is known for how strong it is and how good it tastes. It gives you a concentrated form of weed that you can smoke, vape, or add to other things to eat.

When temple ball hash is used, it gives a unique and powerful feeling. It has strong effects and strong flavors because it has a lot of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Terp slush is a word used to describe a unique type of cannabis concentrate that is highly sought after for its powerful flavor and aroma. It refers to a concentration high in terpenes, which are aromatic chemicals present in cannabis and other plants.

Terp slush is made using a specific extraction method that preserves the natural terpenes contained in the cannabis plant. This procedure often entails employing solvents like butane or propane to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material, followed by a rigorous purification and refinement process. The resulting concentrate is a sticky, mushy liquid densely packed with terpenes. Terp slush's distinct and intense flavor profile is due to its high terpene content, making it a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts.

Terpenes not only contribute to the flavor and aroma of the concentrate, but they also interact with the cannabinoids, potentially improving the overall effects and providing a more well-rounded cannabis experience.

Terp slush can be used in a variety of ways, including dabbing, vaping, and incorporating it into edibles or topicals. Because terp slush is a highly potent cannabis concentrate, it is best to start with moderate dosages and gradually increase as needed, especially if you are just beginning to use cannabis products.

Terpenes are the pungent, oily compounds found in the marijuana plant. Secreted from the plant’s trichomes, terpenes give cannabis varieties their distinctive flavors and aromas like citrus, berry, skunk, or pine. Evolved at first as an adaptation to repel predators and lure pollinators, research is finding that each individual terpene has different effects within the body.

THC is an abbreviation of tetrahydrocannabinol and is one of most abundant cannabinoids in marijuana. THC is responsible for cannabis’ psychoactive, intoxicating “high” effects

A tincture is a liquid concentrate of cannabis that is normally extremely concentrated. Usually carried in coconut oil or glycerin, tinctures are available in a variety of flavors and dosages and are a great alternative for those not interested in smoking. Cannabinoids in tinctures are best absorbed under the tongue, which bypasses the liver.

Tolerance is a term used to describe the body's ability to withstand the effects of cannabis over time. Essentially, as regular users continue to consume cannabis, their bodies become accustomed to its effects and may require larger doses to achieve the same level of intoxication.

This phenomenon can be both positive and negative, for medical patients seeking relief from chronic pain or other conditions, building tolerance can provide sustained benefits. However, recreational users looking for a certain "high" may need to take breaks in order to avoid increasing their tolerance too much.

Topicals are non-psychoactive balms, salves, and oils that users apply directly to the body instead of consuming. These have local effects only.

Trichomes are the small and sometimes nearly microscopic resinous glands, stalks, and hairs that cover the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. Believed to have evolved as a way to protect the plant from insects and animals, trichomes are now also thought to inhibit the growth of some fungi as well as protect from high winds and low humidity. Trichomes are where terpenes and cannabinoids (THC and CBD) are created and secreted.

A vape pen, also known as a vaporizer pen, is a lightweight, portable device used to vaporize cannabis flower or concentrates. These discreet, convenient, and supposedly healthier alternatives to traditional smoking methods have helped these slimline devices grow in popularity, especially recently.

Vape pens function by swiftly heating your preferred cannabis product to a temperature that transforms its active ingredients, such as THC and CBD, into vapor. The user then inhales this vapor. Depending on the sort of cannabis they are made to vaporize, there are several varieties of vape pens available. Some are designed to be used with e-liquids or cannabis oil, both of which are frequently offered in pre-filled cartridges. While some may hold conventional cannabis flower, others are built to evaporate "dabs" or wax concentrates.

The ability to tightly regulate dose and temperature is one of the benefits of vape pens. Numerous models let users change the temperature to their liking, which can change the vapor's effects and flavor. These devices typically produce vapor that is smoother and less harsh than smoke, which makes for a more comfortable experience, especially for those who are new to cannabis.

A method of cannabis use in which cannabis vapor, rather than smoke, is inhaled. Cannabis flower or concentrate is heated in a vaporizing device (vaporizer) to a temperature below the point of combustion to produce vapor.

Vaporizers are a popular device for inhaling cannabis without the harmful effects of smoking. These devices heat up the cannabis to a temperature that releases its active compounds in vapor form, which is then inhaled by the user.

Cannabis wax is a concentrate with a soft, malleable texture and a high potency. As the name suggests, it resembles candle wax in appearance and texture. This concentrate is made by extracting the beneficial elements, including THC and CBD, from the cannabis plant using a solvent, like butane or CO2. The desired chemicals from the plant are then concentrated once the solvent has been removed.

Cannabis wax is often far more potent than ordinary cannabis flower due to its high THC content, which frequently exceeds 70%. This implies that a small amount of wax can have a big impact, making it a common choice for experienced cannabis users looking for a stronger high.

The practice of "dabbing" is a common way to ingest wax. An inhalation of the vapor is produced by heating a small bit of the wax on a hot surface, frequently a nail or banger. The effects are almost always immediately noticeable and can be extremely strong due to the high potency of THC.

Wax provides a distinctive and intense cannabis experience, but because of its high THC content, it's crucial to consume it carefully. Always begin with a little and add more as needed.
