When discussing cannabis strains, it’s commonly understood that:
- Sativa strains are typically known for their uplifting and energizing effects, potentially beneficial for daytime activities.

Can I use flower products for cooking or making edibles?
Yes, you can use cannabis flower for cooking or making edibles, but it must be decarboxylated first to activate THC and other cannabinoids. This involves heating the flower at a specific temperature. Once decarboxylated, you can infuse the cannabis into oils or butters for use in various recipes. There are many online resources offering recipes and instructional videos to guide you through the process safely and effectively, allowing you to create cannabis-infused dishes tailored to your preferences.
Pre-Rolled Smokes
What are pre-rolls?
Pre-rolls are ready-to-smoke cannabis joints that have been pre-assembled for your convenience.They are convenient for consumers who prefer not to roll their own joints or want a quick, ready-to-smoke option. Pre-rolls can vary in size and quality and may include different strains of cannabis. Some pre-rolls are also infused with concentrates like hash or oils to enhance their potency and effects.
Why are your pre-rolls cylinder-shaped instead of cone-shaped?
Our pre-rolls are designed to be cylinder-shaped for a more consistent and even burn throughout the smoking experience. The cylindrical shape allows for a uniform distribution of cannabis flower, which can result in a smoother draw and more predictable effects. This design choice aims to enhance the overall experience for our consumers.
How are your pre-rolls made?
Our pre-rolls are meticulously crafted using 100% organic hemp paper, featuring a biodegradable spiral tip design. This unique design is intended to maximize airflow, providing you with a smooth and enjoyable smoking experience.
Do your pre-rolls contain any trim or leaves?
Our pre-rolls are made from 100% cannabis flower, with no trim or leaves.
What are infused pre-rolls and how do they differ from regular pre-rolls?
Infused pre-rolls contain not only high-quality cannabis flower but also additional components like kief, hash oil, or terpenes for enhanced effects and flavors. They are generally more potent than regular pre-rolls and offer a more complex flavor profile.
Cannabis 101
Basics about cannabis, its effects, and benefits.
What is the difference between THC and CBD?
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are both compounds found in cannabis. THC is psychoactive, meaning it can produce a “high” or alter one’s state of mind, while CBD is nonpsychoactive and is known for its potential therapeutic properties, including pain relief, and reducing anxiety, without causing a high.
Is hemp the same as marijuana?
No, hemp and marijuana are different varieties of the Cannabis plant. While both contain cannabinoids like THC and CBD, hemp typically contains a much higher percentage of CBD and only trace amounts of THC (0.3% or less), making it non-psychoactive.
How can cannabis be consumed?
Cannabis can be consumed in various ways, including smoking, vaporizing, edibles (foods infused with cannabis), topicals (creams and balms applied to the skin), and tinctures (liquids dropped under the tongue or added to food/drinks).
Can you overdose on cannabis?
While there have been no recorded cases of fatal overdose from cannabis, consuming large amounts can lead to uncomfortable effects such as paranoia, anxiety, and increased heart rate. It’s essential to start with low doses and increase gradually, especially when trying a new product.

Does cannabis have medicinal properties?
Studies suggest that certain cannabinoids in cannabis, like THC and CBD, can have therapeutic effects. Some potential benefits include pain relief, reducing inflammation, controlling epileptic seizures, and alleviating anxiety or depression.
Can cannabis interact with other medications?
Cannabis can interact with certain medications, potentially reducing their effectiveness or causing unwanted side effects. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional if you’re using or considering using cannabis alongside other medications.
