Maybe you've heard of getting a wax wedgie? Another slang term for cannabis. This colloquialism teases at the way the harsh smoke can give you a burning sensation in your throat! Talk about one hit… Quite often used to describe hash or concentrates, this term is for those who are seeking a truly unique experience.
 
Or perhaps you know someone who has performed a lip flip? Nicknamed such because it looks like your lips are flipping inside out. It's a way of using a vaporizer where the vapor is sort of forced up the nose and out. Inhaling the fumes through this peculiar method, one instantly creates a more intense buzz.
 
Finally, cannabis connoisseurs might just talk about getting a caviar tampon. This is a process of licking a joint that has been laced with cannabis caviar (aka kief-encrusted buds). Caviar may also refer to hemp seeds or tiny, marijuana-infused treats. You don't want to miss out on this flavorful experience!
 
So, whether you like cannabis for medicinal reasons or merely for a good time, chances are, you need to turn to these terms in order to get the most out of your session.

This composition can deliver a wide range of effects, including invigorating energy, improved productivity, and a clear mental high, depending on the strain.

 

For centuries, different varieties of sativa have been used for medical purposes, such as treating pain, reducing inflammation, and assisting with nausea. This is due to the high concentration of cannabinoids within the plant, including THC, CBD, and other active compounds. Opposite the indica varieties, which tend to be more sedative, sativa-dominant strains provide more clear-headed consequences, allowing users to stay alert, focused, and creative.

 

Sativa can also be a great choice for recreational users who want to reap the benefits without feeling overly sedated or overwhelmed. The plant is known for providing a mental and physical boost, which can be especially helpful for those who may be dealing with depression, anxiety, or chronic pain. For those looking to experience the energizing effects of sativa, it's important to select the right strain and dosage to maximize the desired effects and minimize the risk of any unpleasant side effects.

 

Fortunately, there are a variety of sativas available to choose from, each with its own distinct effects. Whether you're looking for a mild and mellowing experience, or something more energizing and invigorating, you can find the perfect strain to suit your needs. Explore the world of sativa and unlock its potential for enhanced creativity, productivity, and mental clarity.

​

SHATTER

Shatter! A delight for the adventurous cannabis connoisseur, this unique extract has a thin, glass-like appearance that sets it aside from other forms of cannabis. But how is it made? During post-processing, the oil is thinly spread across a sheet, usually parchment, and carefully purged in a vacuum oven. As the bubbles in the oil periodically burst, the resulting texture gives the shatter substance an appearance similar to Swiss cheese. This type of extract is sought after because of its exceptionally high THC content, making it an ideal choice for seasoned cannabis users. So if you're looking for an adventure, give shatter a try!

 

SOLVENT

Solvents are essential components in the cannabis extraction process. Butane, propane, ethanol, and CO2 are the most commonly used methods for extracting components from cannabis. Each method offers different positive aspects and should be considered when deciding which process to use. Butane offers fast, efficient extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes. Propane is a good choice for extraction of terpenes with a low boiling point or when high temperatures are difficult to control. Ethanol is versatile and considered the safest of the solvents, as it is non-toxic and leaves only trace amounts of itself after extraction. Finally, CO2 is the most efficient of the four, producing higher yields in the quickest time, but it is the most complex one to use. Careful consideration should be taken when selecting which extraction solvent is right for the job.

 

STRAIN

You heard it here first: Cannabis isn't just something you inhale or ingest—it's also something you can cultivate! Choose your favorite variety of cannabis 'strain'—whether it's Headband, Zkittlez, Strawberry Cough, Lemon Diesel, or something else—and get ready to roll up your gardening sleeves! After all, the more appropriate term for your new favorite 'strain' may be cultivar, but for you, it's now your very own strain of green thumb!

​

T

TERPENE

Terpenes are amazing compounds that give cannabis its unique taste and aroma, as well as contribute to its amazing entourage effect! Found in many plants and herbs all around the world, these volatiles add flavors and fragrances that delight all the senses. They are essential parts of cannabis and cannabis products, making them taste and smell so unique! So next time you spark up, you can thank these compounds for making the experience so incredible!

 

TRICHOME

Trichomes are an essential part of cannabis and hemp plants – microscopic, translucent structures with bulbous heads sprouting directly out of the plant’s body - and they play a critical role in producing the various terpenes and cannabinoids that give the plant its unique qualities. These tiny crystals, or outgrowths, are key contributors to the plant’s medicinal and recreational value.

 

TOP SHELF

The good stuff. The crème de la crème. Top shelf cannabis is the finest kind and has been carefully selected and cultivated to provide an exceptional high. From its aroma to the smoothness of its buzz, these special buds are clearly distinct from the crop.
