Weed 101

A quick class on grass to make your MJ’s experience easier.

The Basics

  • The abbreviations stand for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These are the two main active compounds in cannabis. The main thing to know here is that THC produces the “high” effect, while CBD has no psychoactive effects.

  • Ever heard of Stoned Ape Theory? Well have we got a story for you. Strains of cannabis are generally categorized into three groups: indica, sativa, and hybrid. Generally, sativas are more invigorating and energizing, while indicas are more relaxing and calming. Hybrids come from cross-breeding the two groups, and represent the lion’s share of strains on the market.

  • No prescription needed. Since we’re a "recreational" cannabis store, we can't offer any medical advice.

  • We know, it’s tough. The tricky-to-open packaging stems from regulations focused on protecting kids from easy cannabis access. Tampering with the packaging before selling to you good people would be a criminal offence. So as much as we'd like to give your hands and teeth a break, we can't.
