The Different Types of Cannabis
Cannabis is a plant that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. It can be smoked, vaporized, ingested, or used topically. There are different strains of cannabis, and each one has different effects. Let’s take a look at the different types of cannabis and their uses.
Indica
Indica cannabis plants are short and bushy, with wide leaves. They tend to be a darker green than sativas, with some varieties tending toward blue or purple hues. The buds of indica strains are also denser and harder than sativas.
Sativa
Sativa is a type of cannabis plant that is mostly associated with providing users with a more energizing and uplifting high. In fact, many people use sativa strains to help them fight depression and fatigue. However, it is important to remember that not all sativa strains will provide you with the same results. Each strain has its own unique properties that can produce different effects.
Some of the most popular sativa strains include:
-Amnesia Haze: A sharp, fruity strain that provides users with an energetic high.
-Green Crack: As the name suggests, this strain will give you a jolt of energy and focus.
-Sour Diesel: A flavorful strain that is known for its ability to relieve stress and pain.
If you are looking for a more energizing and uplifting high, then sativa may be the right type of cannabis for you.
Hybrid
A hybrid, as the name suggests, is a mix of two cannabis strains, generally one indica and one sativa. The resulting plant will take on characteristics from both parent strains, often with the balance tilted one way or the other. For example, a 50/50 indica/sativa hybrid will tend to produce more cerebral effects than a 75/25 indica/sativa hybrid.
Some of the most popular cannabis strains are hybrids. Blue Dream, for example, is a popular hybrid that has won multiple Cannabis Cups. It’s a cross between indica Blueberry and sativa Haze, and it leans more toward the sativa side.
The benefits of hybrid strains are that they tend to be more versatile than purebreds. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as pain relief or relaxation, and they can be consumed during the day or at night.
The Different Methods of Cannabis Use
Cannabis can be used in a number of different ways, depending on the desired outcome. It can be smoked, eaten, vaporized, or taken as a tincture. Each method of cannabis use has different effects. Let’s take a look at the different methods of cannabis use and the different effects they have.
Smoking
Smoking is the most common way people use cannabis. There are many different ways to smoke cannabis, including:
Joints: Joints are hand-rolled cigarettes that contain cannabis. Some people mix tobacco with their cannabis when they roll a joint. Blunts: Blunts are hollowed-out cigars that have been re-rolled with cannabis. People sometimes mix tobacco and cannabis when they make blunts.
Bongs: Bongs are water pipes that cool and filter the smoke before you inhale it.
Pipes: Pipes are handheld devices made from a variety of materials, including glass, metal, wood, and bamboo. One-hitters: One-hitters are small pipes that hold enough cannabis for one hit. Glass pipes: Glass pipes come in a variety of shapes and colors. Glass does not affect the taste of cannabis smoke but does get very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself. Vaping: Vaping is when you heats cannabis to a temperature just below burning point (about 392°F/200°C) and inhales the vaporized chemicals released by the plant material (THC, CBD, etc.). This method produces less odor than smoking and may be less harmful to your lungs.
Vaping
Vaping is one of the most popular methods of consuming cannabis these days, especially among people who are new to cannabis or trying to avoid smoking. Vaping involves heating cannabis flower or concentrate without burning it, which releases the active ingredients into a vapor that can be inhaled. This method is thought to be healthier than smoking because it doesn’t involve the combustion of plant material, which can release harmful toxins.
Vaping can be done with a vape pen, which is a portable device that heats cannabis flower or concentrate to a temperature that turns the active ingredients into vapor. Vape pens usually have a chamber for the cannabis, a battery and a heating element. Some pens also have temperature control settings. Vape pens are small and discreet, making them easy to take with you on the go. You can also buy pre-filled cartridges of cannabis oil that work with specific vape pen models.
Smoking
Smoking is the most common way to consume cannabis, and it can be done in many different ways. The most common method is to roll dried cannabis flower into a joint or blunt wrap made of paper or tobacco leaf. Joints and blunts are then smoked like cigarettes. Another popular method is using a pipe or bong, which involves packing dried cannabis flower into the bowl of the pipe or bong and then lighting it with a lighter. The smoke is then inhaled through the mouthpiece.
Edibles
Edibles are one of the most popular methods of consuming cannabis, especially among those who are new to using the plant. Cannabinoids are fat-soluble, so they are best absorbed into the body when they are taken with food. This method is also attractive to those who do not like smoking or do not want the effects of smoking to last as long.
Edibles can come in many different forms, including candy, cookies, brownies, and even savory dishes like marijuana-infused pasta sauce. The THC content of edibles can vary greatly, so it is important to check the label before eating one. The effects of an edible can also take up to two hours to kick in, so it is important to be patient and not eat too much too fast.
The Different Strains of Cannabis
Cannabis is a flowering plant that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. It is a hardy plant that can be grown in many different climates and soil types. There are many different strains of cannabis, each with its own unique set of medicinal properties.
High THC
THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, and it is what gives the plant its famed ability to get users “high.” THC levels in cannabis have been on the rise in recent years, as growers have bred new strains of the plant that are more potent than ever before.
Most high THC strains of cannabis will contain at least 15% THC, with some strains containing upwards of 30% THC. These strains are typically indica-dominant, meaning they will produce a physically relaxing effect. They are often used to treat conditions like pain, anxiety, and insomnia.
Some of the most popular high THC strains include:
-Gorilla Glue #4
-Girl Scout Cookies
-Granddaddy Purple
-OG Kush
High CBD
High CBD strains are becoming increasingly popular as more research is conducted into the potential therapeutic benefits of CBD. These strains typically contain very low levels of THC, making them ideal for patients who want the medicinal benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects. CBD has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, chronic pain, and even seizures. If you’re looking for a strain with high CBD levels, here are some of our favorites:
– Cannatonic: This hybrid strain is one of the most popular high CBD strains on the market. It has a flowery taste and aroma, and is known for its relaxation properties.
– Harlequin: This purebred sativa is a great choice for patients seeking an energetic yet clear-headed high. It has a sweet citrus flavor and contains up to 16% CBD.
– ACDC: This hybrid strain is perfect for patients who need a strong dose of CBD to manage their symptoms. It has a earthy taste and contains up to 20% CBD.
Balanced THC/CBD
Cannabis strains are either pure or hybrid varieties of the Cannabis genus of plants, that includes the species C. sativa, C. indica, and C. ruderalis.[1] To successfully grow these plants, growers cross-breed them to create hardy hybrids that will produce superior marijuana flowers. The final products are then classified by their physical and chemical characteristics, which include appearance, aroma, flavor, and potency.
Most people are familiar with cannabis strains that are high in THC, which is the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana. However, there is an increasing demand for strains that contain a higher ratio of CBD to THC. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound that has been shown to have a variety of medical benefits, including reducing inflammation and pain.
Here are some popular cannabis strains that are high in CBD:
-ACDC: This is a sativa-dominant hybrid that contains a 20:1 ratio of CBD to THC. It provides users with a clearheaded high that is perfect for daytime use.
-Harlequin: This is a 75% sativa hybrid that has a 5:2 ratio of CBD to THC. It produces gentle effects that can help alleviate anxiety and stress.
-Ringo’s Gift: This hybrid contains equal amounts of CBD and THC (20% each). It provides users with balanced effects that can boost mood and increase energy levels.
The Different Ways to Cure Cannabis
There are many ways to cure cannabis, but the most common and effective method is to cure it with the help of a fan. This will help to circulate the air and prevent mold and mildew from forming on your cannabis. You can also cure cannabis with the help of a dehumidifier, which will help to remove the moisture from the air.
Air-Drying
The most common method of curing marijuana is air-drying. This involves hanging up your freshly trimmed buds in a dark room with good air circulation. After a week or two, your buds will have lost most of their moisture and will be ready for jars or bags.
Air-drying is a simple process, but there are a few things you can do to ensure that your buds cure properly. First, make sure that the room you’re using has good airflow. A ceiling fan can help circulate air and prevent mold from developing. Second, try to maintain a relatively constant temperature in the room; around 70 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal. Third, keep the humidity low; too much moisture in the air can lead to moldy buds.
Once your buds are dry, they need to be stored in an airtight container. Glass mason jars are ideal, but any container that keeps out light and air will work. Be sure to “burp” your jars periodically; that is, open them for a few minutes to allow fresh air to enter and stale air to escape. This will help prevent your cannabis from developing an unpleasant smell.
Baking/Dehydrating
Baking or dehydrating your cannabis is a great way to cure it if you plan on smoking it. This method is also called hotboxing, and it’s the quickest way to cure your weed. All you need to do is put your buds in an oven-safe dish and bake them at a low temperature for about 30-40 minutes. You can also put them in a food dehydrator set to 95 degrees Fahrenheit for the same amount of time.
Freezing
If you live in a place with a very cold climate, you can actually cure your cannabis by freezing it. This method is best suited for those who have grown their own cannabis and want to cure it quickly so that they can enjoy it as soon as possible. To freeze dry your cannabis, simply hang your buds upside down in a freezer until all of the moisture has been removed. This can take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on how much moisture is in your buds. Once they are dry, you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer until you are ready to use them.
