Pre-rolls — often known as joints — are a convenient way to enjoy rolled cannabis flower…without having to roll your own! All you need is a light and you’re on your way.

Pre-rolls can be purchased as singles or in multi-packs and, like flower, are available in a wide variety of strains, blends and infusions. Prerolls also come in a variety of quality: some consist of leftover processing trim, some are full nug only for a premium (best taste and burn quality), and others are a hybrid of nug and trim.

THC and CBD content varies among different brands and strains, so check the package for details.

Edibles are just what they sound like — food and beverages infused with cannabis. A hugely popular and fast-growing segment of cannabis products, edibles are available in a dazzling array of choices, from seltzer and soda-inspired beverages to infused brownies, popcorn,
gummies, mints and more.

Edibles provide an easy and discreet way to consume cannabis, but can sometimes produce a longer and more intense effect than inhaled cannabis. Edibles can often take an hour or more to take effect. New consumers should begin with 5mg or less of THC, and wait two hours to assess the full effect before taking more.

Edibles should be used with caution — it’s best to start low and take it slow, and avoid over-consumption. Effects can intensify when consumed
on an empty stomach and can delay on a full stomach.

Each edibles product is clearly labeled with its THC and CBD content in milligrams, both per package and per serving.

Cannabis concentrates are the highly potent extracts from the cannabis flower, made by separating the resin from the flower to extract the maximum amount of cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD). Potency can be several times stronger than regular flower, and the effects
of concentrates are felt almost immediately after inhalation. Due to the high potency, concentrates are often reserved for a more experienced cannabis consumer. With concentrates, it’s best to start with a low dose and take it slow.

Concentrates are usually consumed through a vaporizer device called a “dab rig” that vaporizes the concentrate at very high temperatures (400°F or higher).

Concentrates come in many different forms including shatter, wax, rosin and sauce. They differ based on the way they are extracted, the part of the plant that’s used for extraction, and what they are extracting from the plant, (i.e. rosin and live resin give you more of the terpene profile than others such as shatter).

Vape pens are a convenient, portable and discreet way to consume cannabis. Vaping is the process of heating cannabis oil to a temperature hot enough to cause it to vaporize and be inhaled. The effect onset is immediate and can be a shorter duration than pre-rolls and flower, without the smoke, ash or strong odor.

Vape products are sold in a wide variety of strains and potencies. THC and CBD levels are listed on the package, usually in percentages or ratios. Vape pens are available in disposable form, or with rechargeable batteries and interchangeable cartridges (or “carts”). For some

Vape pens are an easy way to control your cannabis intake, particularly if you’re interested in microdosing.

When storing your vape pen, avoid heat and sunlight, which can degrade the oil quality. Also avoid extreme cold temps to prevent malfunction and clogging.

Topicals are cannabis products that are intended for external use and are applied directly to the skin to target a specific area of discomfort. They come in many textures, aromas and form factors, including balms, lotions, oils, lubricants, transdermal patches and even bath bombs.

Topicals can be an effective way to soothe both the skin and muscles without the intoxicating effects usually associated with more typical ways of consuming cannabis. Simply apply them to your body to localize your CBD and THC experience.

THC and CBD amounts are usually indicated as a ratio on topical

Topical products are sometimes infused with other essential oils to maximize the relief.
