Innovations in cannabis consumption have brought many new products to consumers. Now, more and more folks understand that you don’t need to get high to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Medical marijuana paved the road for different people to get the benefits of marijuana in different forms. Cannabis-infused topical products, for example, provide an easy, accessible, efficient, and safe way to benefit from its therapeutic properties. Cannabis topicals like marijuana-infused creams, lotions, balms, ointments, patches, etc. provide localized relief by being absorbed through the skin. But what exactly are cannabis topicals, specifically medical cannabis creams? What are they used for? Who would benefit from using them? What Exactly Is a Medical Cannabis Cream? Medical cannabis creams are made by adding a high-quality cannabis concentrate at a specific ratio (i.e. % THC, CBD, etc.) to almost any traditional cream or balm base including other therapeutic pain relief essential oil herbs like a...

For decades it has been understood that cannabis contains different substances that produce different effects, most famously THC for its mind-altering effects and the elevated mood that it produces. As cannabis research opened up, we learned that other parts of the plant, like CBD, could also provide health benefits without the high, and more recently the world of cannabis has become infatuated with another aspect of the flower: terpenes. But what are cannabis terpenes? Understanding Cannabis Terpenes Terpenes are the chemicals found in plants that give them their smell - for example, aromas of pine trees, lavender bushes, and citrus fruits. In addition to the scents produced by terpenes, certain terpenes are also associated with mood-altering sensations, such as a feeling of relaxation due to the Linalool terpene found in lavender. Today, researchers and marijuana consumers are finding that terpenes can also play an important factor in the high produced by consuming marijuana. Further...

Cannabis shake is used to describe the tiny remnants left at the bottom of a container (bag, jar, etc). These leftovers come from cannabis flower nugs, also known as colas. Colas are the clusters of marijuana buds that grow on the stems. When handling, excess bud scraps collect in its container over time. If they come from a high-quality cannabis strain, cannabis shake can be a great budget option for smoking, vaping, cooking, and more. Where To Find Cannabis Shake Dispensaries may sell their cannabis shake to not waste any part of the cannabis plant. With time and handling, specks of cannabis can accumulate at the bottom of a nug jar. Some dispensaries sell these leftovers at a lower price than the flower it came from since their potency and effects are often inconsistent. Cannabis shake may also pile up over time when stored in a jar, but tend to be dry since it takes a while for enough usable shake to accumulate. Cannabis shake can be found in pre-roll options at dispensary which ma...

What is CBG and its benefit ? By now, everyone and their brother has been made well aware of the purported healing properties of CBD. While science and research are validating all these claims—so are the anecdotes of your friends and families experiences with this particular cannabinoid.  Your friend’s dog no longer has arthritis, and your co-worker’s anxiety has been magically quelled all thanks to CBD. To date, cannabidiol is touted as being the heavy hitter when it comes to the medicinal benefits of cannabis— but lurking in the corner is a unicorn known as Cannabigerol (CBG).  That’s right. You’ve already learned about CBD and THC—now it’s high time you learned about your CBGs.   CBG Breakdown Like all plants, cannabis is comprised of several different chemical compounds known as cannabinoids. All animals(except insects) have an endocannabinoid system that is designed to react with cannabinoids in order to put the mind and body in a healthy state of equilibrium....

CBD is “Medical” and THC is “Recreational” CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning that it does not produce intoxicating effects. THC on the other hand is psychoactive, and often times will provide you with a sense of euphoria. This is the general reason why this misconception exists in the first place. The question, “How does CBD treat anxiety and boost mood if it is not mind-altering?” often arises when this myth comes up. The major difference between the two forms of cannabis is that CBD will technically affect the mind (positively, in most cases), but it will not impair mental or physical function. THC will impair mental and physical function, which is why it is commonly associated with recreational purposes. It’s important to note that for this reason, it is illegal for you to operate a vehicle under the influence of THC. To say that CBD is mostly beneficial for medicinal purposes, would actually be pretty accurate, and you can easily get it from legalized  dispensaries in Frisco Col...

In 2012, recreational marijuana was only available in Washington and Colorado. Up until then, only people that suffered from a specific, qualifying condition were approved for the use of medical marijuana (in certain states.) Since then, only a few states have opened up to recreational marijuana, but dozens of states are now coming around to approving the use of medical marijuana. This has left many of us wondering, what sets medical and recreational marijuana apart? Besides the obvious, which is consumer intention (are they looking to treat symptoms of an illness, or are they just looking to get high,) what are the other differences that exist between the two forms? Shopping Experience The shopping experience is actually quite similar, although there are a few differences when it comes to the details. Medical marijuana cardholders must not only bring ID that proves they’re old enough, but also have their medical marijuana card with them. Recreational pot users only need a valid form o...

Are you a cannabis newbie? I remember the first time I tried a powerful cannabis strain. The high was so intense that I even thought I was about to overdose! Obviously, I didn’t know that much about cannabis, as it is technically impossible to overdose on cannabis! I wasn’t prepared for such an intense high and that cannabis strain wasn’t probably the best for a beginner like me. Many people refrain from cannabis because of a negative experience like the one I had the first time I tried it. Choosing the right strain can make a huge difference between loving or hating marijuana, for which you can take help from the experts of  Dillon Colorado dispensaries. For beginners and people with low THC tolerance, I would recommend you start with CBD dominant cannabis strains or balanced CBD/THC strains. 10. Cannatonic This is a balanced cannabis strain with a 1:1 CBD: THC ratio. We have already mentioned this cannabis strain is a previous list of CBD-rich cannabis strains. Cannatonic is a ca...
