Cannabis Basics

What is Cannabis

Cannabis is best known for its psychoactive effects, which are primarily attributed to the cannabinoids it naturally produces. The two most famous cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), both of which interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to produce a range of physical and mental effects. While THC and CBD are the most well-known, cannabis actually contains over a hundred different cannabinoids, each with its own potential effects.

Cannabis products are available in many forms, including dried flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles, beverages, oils, capsules, and topicals. The experience someone has when consuming cannabis can be influenced by many factors, including the strain, dosage, and method of consumption. Since the same dose can affect different people in different ways, it’s always important to start low and go slow when trying cannabis for the first time, or when trying a new product. This approach helps ensure that you understand how various types of cannabis affect you personally.
