Cannabis 101 for Newcomers
The plant, the compounds, the categories, and the shop. A starting point if this is all new.
A brief primer
Cannabis is a plant with dozens of active compounds — THC and CBD being the two best-known. THC is typically associated with the traditional "high"; CBD is non-intoxicating and is used by many adults as part of a wellness routine.
Categories at a glance
Flower (the dried plant), pre-rolls (ready-to-enjoy joints), concentrates (extracts), edibles (food and drinks), topicals (for the skin), and CBD (non-intoxicating).
What to try first
If you want to learn the plant, start with a balanced hybrid flower (Blue Horizon is a popular first pick). If you prefer not to smoke, a low-dose beverage or a single gummy is an easy introduction — go slow.
Responsible use
Keep products sealed and out of reach of minors and pets. Don't drive after consumption. If you take other medications or have health conditions, consult a qualified professional before you begin.
