Difference between Sativa & Indica
Sativa and indica are terms often used to differentiate the balance of THC and CBD in cannabis. Sativa strains are primarily high in THC, with only small amounts of CBD, making them more stimulating and mentally focused. In contrast, indica strains have higher CBD content, which is known for its relaxing and soothing effects, particularly for muscle relief. Each strain offers unique properties and benefits, and with the rise of hybrid strains, the range of effects and possibilities has become even more diverse.
The difference between THC and CBD?
THC and CBD are the two main active compounds found in cannabis.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" associated with cannabis. It can boost focus and creativity for some users.
CBD (cannabidiol), on the other hand, doesn’t produce the euphoric effects of THC. Instead, its benefits are felt more physically, helping to relax muscles and reduce symptoms like pain, inflammation, migraines, anxiety, and depression. Indica strains, in particular, are known for their calming effects on both the mind and body.
Can I bring my underage child into the Cannabis Store?
No. We do not permit entry to our cannabis retail store for individuals under the age of 19.
