Welcome to our FAQ page where we address common questions about the main cannabinoids we offer, including THCA, CBD, Delta 8, Delta 9, CBN, and HHC. Whether you’re a new or experienced user, this guide will help you understand the benefits, uses, and distinctions of these cannabinoids. We also cover general questions about purchasing and using cannabis products.
What is THCA?
THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw cannabis. It converts to THC, the psychoactive compound, when heated.
How is THCA different from THC?
THCA is the precursor to THC. It does not produce a high unless it is decarboxylated (heated), which converts it into THC.
What are the benefits of THCA?
THCA is believed to have anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-emetic properties. It may also support overall well-being and assist in managing various health conditions.
How do you use THCA products?
THCA products can be consumed in their raw form through juicing or added to smoothies. They can also be used in tinctures, capsules, and topicals.
What is CBD?
CBD (Cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid known for its potential health benefits. It does not produce a high and is legal in many regions.
What are the benefits of CBD?
CBD is used for its potential to alleviate anxiety, pain, inflammation, and sleep disorders. It may also promote a sense of calm and well-being.
How do I use CBD products?
CBD products come in various forms, including oils, edibles, capsules, topicals, and vapes. The method of use depends on personal preference and the desired effect.
Are there any side effects of CBD?
CBD is generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience side effects such as dry mouth, fatigue, and changes in appetite. It’s important to start with a low dose and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
What is Delta 8 THC?
Delta 8 THC is a minor cannabinoid with a similar structure to Delta 9 THC but with milder psychoactive effects. It provides a less intense high.
How is Delta 8 different from Delta 9 THC?
Delta 8 THC offers a more subdued experience compared to Delta 9 THC, with fewer instances of anxiety and paranoia. It’s a preferred option for those seeking a gentle high.
What are the effects of Delta 8?
Delta 8 THC can produce feelings of relaxation, euphoria, and pain relief, while maintaining clear-headedness and focus.
How do I consume Delta 8 products?
Delta 8 products are available as edibles, tinctures, vapes, and concentrates. Choose the method that fits your lifestyle and desired effect.
What is Delta 9 THC?
Delta 9 THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, known for producing the characteristic high associated with marijuana use.
What are the benefits of Delta 9 THC?
Delta 9 THC can provide relief from pain, nausea, and muscle spasticity. It may also stimulate appetite and improve mood.
How do I use Delta 9 products?
Delta 9 products come in various forms, including flower, edibles, tinctures, concentrates, and vapes. The method of use depends on your preference and the desired effects.
Are there any side effects of Delta 9 THC?
Side effects can include dry mouth, red eyes, increased heart rate, and potential anxiety or paranoia. Start with a low dose to gauge your tolerance.
What is CBN?
CBN (Cannabinol) is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid formed as THC ages. It is known for its potential sedative effects.
What are the benefits of CBN?
CBN is often used for its potential to aid sleep and provide relaxation. It may also have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
How do I use CBN products?
CBN is available in tinctures, capsules, and edibles. It can also be found in certain full-spectrum products that contain a range of cannabinoids.
Are there any side effects of CBN?
CBN is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause drowsiness. It’s best to use it at night or when you don’t need to be alert.
What is HHC?
HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) is a hydrogenated form of THC, offering unique effects and potential benefits. It is relatively new in the cannabis market.
How is HHC different from THC?
HHC has a similar effect profile to THC but is considered to be more stable due to the hydrogenation process. It offers a different experience that some users find preferable.
What are the effects of HHC?
HHC can produce effects similar to THC, including euphoria, relaxation, and pain relief, but with potentially different intensity and duration.
How do I consume HHC products?
HHC products are available in various forms, including vapes, edibles, and tinctures. Choose the method that aligns with your preferences and needs.
Cannabis laws vary by state and country. It’s important to check your local regulations to determine if cannabis products are legal in your area. Some places allow only medical cannabis, while others permit both medical and recreational use.
Choosing the right cannabis product depends on your needs and preferences. Consider the following:
Start with a low dose and increase gradually. The optimal dosage varies for each individual based on factors such as body weight, metabolism, and the desired effect. For edibles, wait at least one to two hours before consuming more, as their effects can be delayed.
Traveling with cannabis can be complicated due to varying laws. It’s generally safest to avoid crossing state or international borders with cannabis products. Always research the regulations of your destination before traveling.
Store cannabis products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use airtight containers to preserve freshness and potency. Keep products out of reach of children and pets.
Cannabis can be consumed in various ways, each offering different experiences and benefits:
For first-time users, the effects of cannabis can vary. You might experience euphoria, relaxation, heightened sensory perception, or altered time perception. It’s important to start with a low dose, be in a comfortable setting, and stay hydrated. Having a trusted friend or “sober buddy” can also be reassuring.
The duration of cannabis effects depends on the method of consumption:
While it’s nearly impossible to fatally overdose on cannabis, consuming too much can lead to uncomfortable effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, dizziness, and nausea. If you feel unwell, stay calm, stay hydrated, and rest in a comfortable environment. The effects will eventually pass.
Cannabis can interact with certain medications. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before combining cannabis with other treatments, especially if you are on prescription medications.
Common side effects of cannabis can include dry mouth, red eyes, increased appetite, drowsiness, and temporary memory impairment. More serious effects, such as anxiety or paranoia, can occur with higher doses, particularly in inexperienced users.
Medical cannabis is prescribed by a healthcare provider for specific health conditions and often has higher CBD content. Recreational cannabis is used for personal enjoyment and typically has higher THC content. Legal restrictions and purchase limits can also differ between the two.
Growing cannabis at home is legal in some regions under certain conditions. Check your local laws for guidelines on the number of plants, required permits, and cultivation practices. Home cultivation can be a rewarding way to ensure a personal supply of cannabis.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a network of receptors in the body that interacts with cannabinoids. It plays a role in regulating various physiological processes, including mood, pain, appetite, and immune response. Cannabis products influence the ECS, which can lead to their therapeutic effects.

Hemp & CBD are both considered safe and should not produce any adverse side effects in most people. However, everyone processes CBD and other dietary supplements differently, and it is always recommended to consult with a physician before adding adding any supplement to your diet.
Yes. CBD Inhibits the cytochrome P450 enzyme, which is involved in metabolizing many drugs. Compounds in grapefruit inhibit the same enzyme enzyme group, which is why physicians advise patients not to eat grapefruit shortly before or after taking a medication. By inhibiting cytochrome P450, CBD can either reduce or increase the effects of other drugs. We always suggest checking with your physician.
Begin with a low dose, especially if you have a little to no experience with cannabis. Take a few small doses over the course of the day rather than one big dose. Use the same dose and ratio for several days. Observe the effects and if necessary adjust the ratio or amount. Don’t overdo it — “less is more,” is often the case with cannabis therapeutics.
If the product contains only CBD and has had the THC removed, then an individual being tested would not be expected to test positive for marijuana or marijuana metabolite. A full spectrum CBD oil that contains all of the
cannabinoids can potentially cause a positive on a drug screen
In humans, CBD exhibits no effect indicative of any abuse or dependence potential.
“What if I don’t feel anything after taking CBD?” Some people say they don’t particularly feel any type of sensation after taking their CBD oil supplements. However, many notice that with regular use, they experience an “overall sense of better energy,” “more relaxed” and “improved sleep patterns at night,” and an overall improvement in their general health.
