Cannabis 101

Basic Marijuana Information

Marijuana, also known as cannabis, is a psychoactive drug derived from the cannabis plant. It contains several compounds, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), which are responsible for its effects on the body. The drug can be consumed in various forms, including smoking dried bud, using vape concentrates, or consuming edibles. It is important to note that the potency and effects of marijuana can vary depending on the method of consumption.

 

In terms of state law, the legality of marijuana varies across the United States. While some states have legalized marijuana for both recreational and medicinal use, others have only legalized it for medicinal purposes. It is important to be aware of the laws in your state before using or possessing marijuana.

 

Overall, understanding basic marijuana information is crucial for safe and responsible use. It is important to be informed about the different forms of consumption, compounds present in the drug, and legal implications of its use.

Know the Compounds

THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol

 

Most psychoactive compound that provides pain relief, may reduce aggression, can stimulate appetite, and reduce nausea.

Terpenes

Over 100 different terpenes have been identified in the cannabis plant. They give cannabis varieties their smell and taste with distinctive flavors like citrus, berry, mint, and pine. Terpenes also help account for the unique effects induced by each cannabis strain by modifying how much THC passes through the blood-brain barrier.

Ways to Smoke

Joint | Pipe | Water Bong | Vape Pen

To avoid inhaling smoke, a vaporizer “vape pen” can be used. These devices contain a battery-powered heating element that vaporizes concentrated cannabis oils, waxes or dry herbs. It pulls the active ingredients (including compounds like THC and CBD) from the marijuana or concentrate and collects the vapor in a storage unit. That vapor is then inhaled until the desired effect is reached.
