You are probably familiar with this: Indica = In-da-couch (relaxing), Sativa = Social and uplifting. The old-school breakdown can still help as a general guide, but modern research shows that what matters is the chemical makeup, especially the balance of cannabinoids and terpenes. So, two “indicas” could feel completely different if one has relaxing myrcene and the other doesn’t. Still, here’s a rough idea: 1) Indica: More calming, good for nighttime use; 2) Sativa: More energising, ideal for daytime; Hybrid: A blend of both effects. If you want to know how a cannabis strain impacts you, look beyond the product label. Pay attention to the lab results or talk to an expert who knows about such products.

Storage of cannabis products is not something exciting, but trust us, it matters. Done right, it keeps your product potent and safe. Things you need to remember while storing the cannabis or its products at home. Always keep it in a cool place: Too much heat may destroy the fragrance of the product along with its taste. Store in a dry place: Moisture is the biggest enemy of cannabis, and it can lead to mold, which can destroy the product. Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight breaks down THC in and it might affect the quality. Always use airtight containers: Prefer glass jars, instead of sandwich bags. Never put cannabis flowers in the fridge or deep freezer—the humidity fluctuation can destroy the freshness. Always check product labels and follow the product packaging instructions. Products like cannabis brownies, gummi bears, or cannabis drinks, may require refrigeration to be stored.

Terpenes are a subproduct of a cannabis plant. It is known for having the essence and smell of cannabis. Terpens can influence aroma, flavor, and even the colors associated with a strain of cannabis. While the effects of terpenes on humans is still rather nebulous, many studies have uncovered a correlation between specific terpenes and some of the secondary effects of cannabis, implying that terpenes influence the high that THC can provide, explaining why two different strains of cannabis with identical THC concentrations can produce distinct experiences for users. Here are a few common terpenes. Limonene terpenes: It contains a citrus scent, and it is known for uplifting mood. Linalool terpenes: A terpene with a floral (like lavender) essence, which is used for its calming vibe. Myrcene: Earthy and musky aroma, which is often used for deep relaxation. Picking cannabis is similar to picking tea; choose the flavour you like the best.

Yes, absolutely. Some medical practitioners recommend cannabis or its products to fix anxiety or sleep disorders. However, not every medical consultation will lead to the use of cannabis or its products to treat sleep or anxiety disorders, hence it's better to consult. A few cannabis strains and products may help treat anxiety disorders, and they may also help improve sleep. In medical practice, generally, CBD is the most widely used cannabis compound to ease anxiety disorders. Meanwhile, Indica strains of cannabis are prescribed for body relaxation; these compounds also help many people to sleep. Cannabis and its products have different effects on different people. For people who are sensitive to THC, high-potency cannabis products can make their anxiety worse. So it’s a smart move to start with a low dose, try it in a calm setting, observe how your body and mind respond. And take a medical consultation before starting it if you’re on medication or managing a prolonged condition.

Let’s be practical: cannabis products are not harmless. However, they are not in the same league as alcohol or nicotine either. People who use cannabis daily or start at a young age may develop Cannabis Use Disorder. This disorder can cause users to feel the need to escalate their doses further and further to receive the same level of gratification. A few may struggle to cut down the doses, and this may affect their lives. Usually, people don’t become ‘addicted’ to such products; it all depends on how self-aware you are. It’s important to use them wisely, and if you feel like vaping is affecting your work or life, it’s time to reset. Quitting cannabis is actually easier than most other substances, due to mild and quickly fading withdrawal symptoms. The most commonly reported withdrawal effects are intense dreams, and partial loss of appetite.

When different types of cannabis terpenes or cannabinoids are used in a single product, it is called ‘full-spectrum’. The product range includes all types of cannabinoids and terpenes. These byproducts are available in the market. It’s something like eating a whole orange instead of taking a Vitamin C pill. A full-spectrum product gives you all the “nutrients” that cannabis has to offer; this means a potentially richer and more awesome experience. A few broad-spectrum products are available without THC and isolates. Such products contain only a single compound, CBD. Most people take full-spectrum cannabis products as they want to experience the Entourage Effect. It is important to stay cautious about trace amounts of THC which might still be present in the consumed product, which can lead to a failed drug test.

The cannabis plant contains various chemical compounds in it , such as THC, CBD, CBG, and terpenes like limonene and myrcene. All of these have their effects individually, but together, they often enhance the effect of each other; the naturally enhanced effect is known as the ‘Entourage Effect’. Let’s take CBD and THC for example: on its own, THC can feel less effective for many people. However, when it is taken with CBD, the end experience can be more effective and intense. Similarly, terpenes also have a role to play; they don’t just have good fragrance, they can help relax you, and lift your mood. Consumption of a cannabis product that includes different compounds of cannabinoids (instead of just a single isolated cannabinoid) may actually prove to be more effective.

We all know cannabis and its products are used for recreational and medicinal purposes. Edible cannabis products or smokable weed products are very popular across the globe, and people consume them in many different ways. Its effects may also differ as per the users . Let's discuss them in detail. Smoking is the classic route: You light up the flower, or sometimes concentrate and inhale the smoke. It makes you high, usually within minutes. It wears off quicker than edibles too, typically lasting for a couple of hours. It's a quick way for those who want instant gratification. Vaping is similar to smoking, as you are inhaling cannabis. It’s a little gentler on your lungs as compared to smoking. Vape pens and vaporizers avoid burning the flower, instead heating and developing vapors. This makes for a cleaner taste, and is less intense than smoking, while resulting in a similar experience and high. Edibles, however, are a totally different experience. They are available in so many forms. Cannabutter, candy, baked goods like brownies and cookies. There are even THC infused beverages and oils, allowing you to drink cannabis. You ingest them, your body digests them, and then the effects take place. The ‘kick’ may start anytime from thirty minutes to two hours after, and can last typically for 4-8 hours after imbibement, with the effects typically peaking 2 hours after eating. The high from edibles sticks around much longer and often feels stronger. That’s why there is a saying: start a little low, and go very slow. People use cannabis and its products in different ways. Consumption of cannabis is based on their existing lifestyle, comfort, needs and the kind of experience they are looking for from cannabis or weed.

Customers usually choose how they want their cannabis delivered, and online same-day delivery to their homes is especially popular. You can make a payment in no time, safely and effortlessly. Some dispensaries let you collect your order from outside without going inside. They make life easier and safer for businesses as well as for buyers.

Currently, at least 20 states make cannabis delivery available for medical users only. Recreational drug delivery is permitted by some, too. The rules differ from state to state, and some locations may set extra limits on services. Be sure to look up your state’s regulations before offering or using this service.

A POS system is used by dispensaries to monitor how much medicine they sell, manage products, and comply with rules. It acts much like a digital cash register at any cannabis shop. The system also holds patient data, verifies what consumers can buy, and puts together required state documents.

Use software designed for the cannabis industry to follow your inventory from when it arrives until when it is sold. Check your stock often and record all your transactions. Using barcode scanning makes it less likely for mistakes to happen.  Always follow your state’s online tracking system to follow the law and prevent shortages of products.

You use the app to view what’s available, make your selections, and pick a time for delivery. You will find out the price, read reviews, and notice whether it is available. Managers use it to control orders, update their stock, and monitor their deliveries. Whether you’re a customer or a dispensary, shopping is now more manageable and time-saving with a weed delivery app.

These weed delivery apps are among the top: Eaze, Weedmaps, Leafly, and Dutchie. They enable users to locate nearby dispensaries, browse sold items, and choose to collect their order. Every app is different, though each one helps simplify buying legal cannabis.
