Flower (bud)

The dried, cured flower of the female cannabis plant. The most natural form. You grind it and smoke it (joint, pipe, bong) or vape it in a dry-herb vape.

• Onset: 30 sec – 2 min
• Duration: 1–3 hours
• Pros: Full-spectrum, fastest onset, oldest + most studied form, easy to titrate (one puff at a time).
• Cons: Smell, smoke (lung irritation), needs prep.

Pre-rolls

Pre-ground flower rolled into a paper cone. Same experience as flower, zero prep.

• Regular pre-roll: flower only.
• Infused pre-roll: flower + concentrate (kief, distillate, rosin) for higher potency.
• Blunt: rolled in a tobacco-leaf wrap (we don't sell these).

Vapes

Concentrated cannabis oil, vaporized at low temperature.

• Cartridge ("cart"): 510-thread cartridge that screws onto a battery. Refillable.
• Disposable: all-in-one, throw away when empty.
• Live resin / live rosin vape: premium oil, more terpene-rich, fuller flavor.
• Distillate vape: highly potent, less terpene flavor.
• Onset: 30 sec – 2 min. Duration: 1–2 hours.
• Pros: Discreet, no smell, fast onset, easy dose control.
• Cons: Hardware quality varies, oil can be solvent-extracted (look for solventless / rosin if avoiding).

Concentrates

What you get when you strip the flower down to its essential oils.

• Kief: trichome dust shaken off the bud. Sprinkle on flower for a boost.
• Hash: compressed kief.
• Rosin: solventless, made with heat + pressure. Premium, expensive, clean.
• Live resin: flash-frozen flower extracted with butane (BHO). Strong terpene profile.
• Shatter / wax / budder / crumble: different textures of solvent-extracted concentrate.
• Diamonds + sauce: crystalline THC-A diamonds in terpene sauce. Highest potency.
• Use: dab rig, vaporizer, or topped on flower.

Edibles

Cannabis infused into food or drinks.

• Gummies, chocolates, baked goods, mints.
• Drinks: seltzers, teas, coffee shots — onset is faster than solid edibles (15–30 min).
• Capsules: for predictable dosing (not flavored).
• Onset: 30 min – 2 hours (slower because it goes through your liver).
• Duration: 4–8 hours (much longer than smoke/vape).
• Pros: No smoke, long-lasting, predictable dose.
• Cons: Slow onset = easy to over-dose by impatient re-dosing. The #1 mistake new users make is taking a second gummy 45 minutes in.

Tinctures

Cannabis oil in an alcohol or MCT carrier, dropped under the tongue or swallowed.

• Sublingual (under the tongue, hold 60 sec): onset 15–30 min, duration 2–4 hours.
• Swallowed (mixed with food/drink): onset like an edible, 30 min – 2 hours.
• Pros: Precise dosing (mg per drop), no smoke, discreet.
• Cons: Taste (some are bitter), slower than inhalation.

Topicals

Cannabis cream, balm, lotion, salve. Applied to skin.

• Non-psychoactive. Most don't cross into your bloodstream meaningfully.
• For: localized pain, soreness, inflammation, skin conditions.
• Onset: 15–30 min. Duration: 2–4 hours.

Patches

Transdermal cannabinoid patches. Slow, sustained release over 8–12 hours. Niche.
