Welcome, cannabis enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike! As we continue our educational journey through the world of cannabis, it’s time to explore the various forms this versatile plant can take. Understanding these options is crucial for finding the perfect fit for your needs and preferences.
Flower: The Classic Choice
Cannabis flower, often called bud, is the traditional form most people associate with cannabis, or picture when they think of weed. It can be smoked in joints, blunts, or pipes, or used in vaporizers. Flower offers immediate effects and a full sensory experience, making it a favorite for many. It’s common for most cannabis retail stores and dispensaries to carry a wide selection of flower for that reason.
Concentrates: Potent and Powerful
Concentrates are high-potency cannabis extracts, offering high levels of THC or CBD. They come in various forms, including shatter, wax, and oil. Known for their strong effects and rapid onset, concentrates can be used in dab rigs, vape pens, or combined with flower for enhanced potency.
Edibles: A Tasty Alternative
Edibles are food and beverages infused with cannabis. They offer a discreet and tasty way to consume cannabis, with effects that last longer than smoking or vaping. The onset time is typically slower, taking 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in – although many brands are starting to create fast acting cannabis edibles as well. It’s important to start with a low dose and be patient.
Topicals: Localized Relief
Cannabis-infused creams, balms, and lotions offer localized relief from pain and inflammation without psychoactive effects. Topicals are ideal for those seeking therapeutic benefits without the high. Insert note about topical legality in CT.
Tinctures: Precise and Versatile
Tinctures are liquid cannabis extracts that can be taken sublingually (under the tongue) or added to food and drinks. They offer precise dosing, quick onset, and come in various strengths and formulations. Insert note about topical legality in CT.
Capsules: A Medical Option
While capsules and pills offer convenient, discreet consumption, they’re currently not available in Connecticut’s adult-use market due to regulations. These options remain accessible through the medical marijuana program for qualified patients. Capsules are a great option for those who want to avoid smoking or vaping.
Each cannabis form factor offers unique benefits and experiences. At Higher Collective, we’re committed to helping you navigate these options and find products that align with your needs and lifestyle.
