Frequently asked questions

Is THC the same as THCa?

No. THCa is the acidic precursor found in raw flower. Heat can convert THCa toward THC.

Is 20% THC the same as 20 mg?

No. Percent is concentration. Milligrams are amount. One gram of 20% flower is about 200 mg total THC before losses.

Are terpenes effects guaranteed?

No. Terpenes are useful comparison clues, but effects depend on the full product and the individual.

Is CBD intoxicating?

CBD is generally described as non-intoxicating and does not create the classic THC high.

Why do edibles last longer?

They are processed through digestion and metabolism, which changes timing and duration compared with inhalation.
