Cannabis terpenes: What they are and how they affect you Different foods have diverse smells. Some smell rich and meaty, while others have herbal notes. But what do we actually smell in foods or even wines? The answer is simple: Terpenes! Terpenes are what you sense in meals, flowers, fruits wines, or in cleaning detergents. They are organic compounds that give each plant a unique flavour or smell. They are the reason you can tell apart a pineapple and a coconut.

Smoking weed can get Canadians banned from the US An estimated 400, 000 people cross the border between US and Canada every day which will continue on after the Cannabis Act comes into force in Canada on October 17, 2018.

How marijuana legalization will affect travel within Canada

How cannabis legalization will affect travel within Canada It's illegal to cross the Canadian border when in possession of cannabis. Even after the country passed laws that eventually legalize recreational marijuana, it remains illegal to either enter or leave Canada with cannabis (of course, it remains illegal in the United States as well), even if it's for medical purposes. According to travel.gc.ca: Under the Cannabis Act, the legalization of cannabis in Canada will not change Canada’s border rules. Taking cannabis or any product containing cannabis into Canada will remain illegal and can result in serious criminal penalties both at home and abroad. But what about domestic travel within Canada? A bus company, a rail line and an airline were all recently interviewed to understand the implications of travelling with cannabis within Canada once the Cannabis Act comes into effect on...

CBD vs. THC: What’s the Difference?

By Jonathon

CBD vs. THC: What's the Difference? Potency is one of the most important factors that cannabis users consider when choosing their favourite marijuana strains. In many peoples' minds, the most potent cannabis strains have a high THC content. Because of the powerful effects of THC, cannabis strains with high THC content have always been in high demand. But this is gradually changing. Many customers are moving to less intense flowers, essentially ones with lower THC content and high CBD (Cannabidiol) content. While THC is known for its fast and effective high, CBD is non-intoxicating. Both CBD and THC are extracted from the cannabis plant. Although they come from the same plant, these two compounds are technically different in many ways. Their differences might influence your next cannabis purchase. What are high-CBD cannabis strains? In most cases, CBD is the second most abundant cannabinoid in the...

But before you take in your first joint, here's some advice to make you know what you're exactly getting yourself into. Be prepared not to get high When I first smoked weed, I didn't get too high. Maybe there was something I didn't do right but I didn't get high. And I've heard many other marijuana first-timers say they failed to get high when they took their first smoke.

By Jonathon

What is Dabbing and How Dabs Work Dabs are cannabis concentrates made when extracts rich in THC or other cannabinoids are mixed with solvents like carbon dioxide or butane to form sticky oils. The resultant oils go by different names, with the most common ones including wax, budder, shatter and Butane Hash Oil (BHO). Dabs are then heated and inhaled through a dab rig. Dabbing as a method of consuming cannabis has gained massive popularity in recent years, although it has been around for close to a decade. As cannabis concentrates gained popularity, so did dabbing. With the introduction of advanced cannabis extraction methods, concentrates have become a popular choice for most marijuana users. Dabs are mostly made from THC compounds that makes them one of the most effective methods of getting high. Because dabs are primarily made of THC compounds, you...
