Cannabis Flower 101

 

Even through it’s been over a year since the legalization of Cannabis in Calgary; the city is still buzzing (no pun intended) with excitement. But for industry newcomers who have yet to make their way into a dispensary, we admit it can be somewhat intimidating or overwhelming at first. That’s why we’re giving you a quick overview on all things Cannabis; so you feel totally confident when you stop by to visit us at Mountain View Cannabis.

First thing’s first. Since we can almost guarantee you’ll hear some (or all of) these terms when you visit us in the store, here’s a quick vocab lesson.

 

Strains: A “strain” refers to the type cannabis plant. The three primary strains you’ll hear about are Sativa, Indica and Hybrid.

 

 

Cannaboids: These are active chemical compounds found in Cannabis plants, which interact with our cannaboid receptors. Despite there being a lot of Cannaboids in cannabis plants, the ones you’ll hear about most frequently are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

 

 

Cannaboid receptors: These are essentially membranes found throughout the body, which determine how your body processes external Cannaboids. Cannaboid receptors influence physical and mental responses such as increased appetites, reduced stress, pain relief, and so on.

 

Terpenes: The fragrant oils found in cannabis strains, responsible for creating unique flavour profiles in each strain.

 

Ok, so now that you’ve got the lingo down, let’s get into the good stuff; understanding the differences between Cannabis strains.
