Curious about cannabis? We’ve broken down the basics to help you shop smarter, feel confident, and enjoy your experience from the very first visit.
Cannabis is a plant that contains active compounds known as cannabinoids, which interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex cell-signaling system that plays a role in regulating a range of functions and processes, including mood, appetite, sleep, and memory. When cannabinoids from cannabis enter the body, they bind to cannabinoid receptors in the ECS, influencing these functions.
Sativa: Energizing and uplifting
Indica: Relaxing and sedative
Hybrid: Effects vary; combination of Sativa and Indica traits depending on genetic lineage
The entourage effect refers to the theory that various compounds in cannabis, including cannabinoids and terpenes, work together synergistically to produce unique effects and potential therapeutic benefits. Full-spectrum cannabis products may offer enhanced relief compared to isolated cannabinoids.
THC interacts with the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, particularly in areas like the hypothalamus, which regulates appetite. This can stimulate hunger and enhance the perception of taste and smell.
Lab testing ensures safety and quality by checking for:
– Potency (THC, CBD levels)
– Pesticides
– Mold & Microbials
– Heavy Metals & Solvents
Look for Certificates of Analysis (CoA) to verify these results.
No fatal overdoses have been reported. However, overconsumption may cause anxiety, nausea, and paranoia. If it happens, stay calm, hydrate, and rest.
Synthetic cannabinoids (K2/Spice) are lab-made chemicals trying to mimic THC. They are unregulated, dangerous, and can cause severe health issues like psychosis and seizures. Legal dispensaries like Theo only sell natural, lab-tested cannabis.
