Strains are different varieties of cannabis that each come with their own unique array of cannabinoids and terpenes. Different strains may result in a different experience, depending on a number of factors.
Generally known by its Latin name, Cannabis sativa, cannabis has historically been thought of as consisting of at least two types, indica and sativa, which are believed to differ in terms of places of origin, height, and leaf shape. Most strains today are hybrids, a genetic cross between indica and sativa plants. A high-CBD product, containing greater than four percent CBD by weight, may be either indica-dominant, sativa-dominant, or a hybrid.
Cannabis contains hundreds of organic compounds. More than 100 or these are known as cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), that are made and stored in the plant's trichomes.
Terpenes are organic compounds made and stored in the trichomes of the cannabis plant, with the cannabanoids. Terpenes give cannabis its distinctive smell. The exact effects of terpenes on their own, and within cannabis are currently unknown.
Total cannabinoids in a particular strain can differ slightly from one batch to the next, depending on a number of factors. It's important to remember that cannabis is a plant and it is common for some variability to occur.
Product labels will include the name and contact information of the licensed producer, a brand name, the amount of THC and CBD, storage instructions, quality attributes, safety warnings, packaging date, lot number, weight, and Health Canada's THC warning symbol.
Each product label will include the pre-consumption and total amounts of THC and CBD, in a percentage of the product's weight. The higher the percentage, the more concentrated the product.
THC potency in dried cannabis has increased from an average of 3% in the 1980s to around 15% today. Some strains can have an average as high as 30% THC.
Yes, inhaling smoke from the burning of any substance can harm your respiratory system and invite harmful carbon and carcinogens into your body. We strongly recommend using a vaporizer like the PAX or the Arizer to greatly decrease the amount of unwanted smoke from entering the lungs. Other smokeless ways to use cannabis include cannabis oil products, including sublingual oils (placed under the tongue) and capsules.
Edibles and concentrates are still illegal under federal law.
