Step 2: Learn the Basics

Cannabinoids

You may be familiar with CBD & THC- the two most popular compounds associated with the cannabis plant. While there are over 100 cannabinoids in existence, a few stand out for their potential therapeutic properties.

CBD

Terpenes

Terpenes are aromatic oils that color cannabis varieties with distinctive flavors like citrus, berry, mint, and pine. Every terpene is associated with its own unique properties. Linalool, for example, is believed to be relaxing whereas limonene elevates mood. When choosing strains, terpene profile plays a role in flavor and overall experience.

Cannabis products are often categorized based on cannabinoid terpene profiles: Sativa, Indica, Hybrid and CBD. This classification can help beginners navigate their experiences. Sativa strains are associated with uplifting effects. Strains that are indica dominant are more relaxing. After decades of cross-breeding strains, Indica/Sativa hybrid strains have developed.

Step 3: How do you want to consume?

In this era of cannabis legalization, there are currently more consumption options available to you than ever. Whether you want to smoke it, eat it, drink it or wear it on your skin, there’s a CBD or THC infused solution for you.
