FAQs
What is THCA?
Raw cannabis is rich in THCA, not THC, making it non-psychoactive. That extra carboxyl group in THCA prevents it from binding to CB1 receptors, meaning no high—no matter how much you consume.
Through decarboxylation, heat removes this molecular barrier, converting THCA into THC and unlocking its psychoactive effects. Vaporization or cooking achieves this instantly, while edibles require precise decarbing. Without heat, cannabis remains inert, offering benefits but no intoxication.
What is the difference between Hybrid, Sativa, Indica?
Sativa strains are energizing and uplifting, often providing a cerebral high. They’re taller plants with narrow leaves and are typically grown in warmer climates.
Indica strains are calming and relaxing, great for stress relief or sleep. They’re shorter, bushier plants with broader leaves and often contain more CBD.
Hybrid strains are a cross between Sativa and Indica, combining effects from both to offer a balanced experience, depending on the ratio of Sativa to Indica genetics.
What are 'smalls'?
“Smalls” refers to smaller buds of cannabis that are typically harvested from the lower parts of the plant or from less-prized branches. While they are often less visually appealing than larger, top-shelf buds, they can still be just as potent and flavorful. Smalls are often sold at a lower price point and are popular for those seeking a more affordable option without sacrificing quality. They’re perfect for smoking, vaping, or using in edibles or concentrates.
