THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol and CBD or Cannabidiol are naturally occurring cannabis compounds. While they are the most abundant and well-known, research has discovered that the plant produces upwards of 100 cannabinoids. Mimicking cannabinoids produced by the human body, bind to receptors of the endocannabinoid system. THC is the reason for the “high” sensation. CBD is non-psychoactive and associated with therapeutic effects. However, cannabinoids have been shown to work synergistically, providing greater effects together rather than on their own. This is known as the entourage effect.
RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) is named for a Canadian engineer and cannabis advocate. Rick Simpson created a whole-plant extract to effectively and naturally treat his own health issues. Full-spectrum oil includes all the cannabinoids of the plant, such as THC, CBD, terpenes, flavonoids, and more. RSO offers high percentages of THC and can be ingested or applied topically.
It is against state regulations to bring products or packaging back into the store. If you believe you’ve received a defective product,
Happy Cannabis Rockford- reach out to Lacey @ [email protected]
Happy Cannabis Loves Park- reach out to Pat @ [email protected].
Provide your full name, date of purchase, product name, and a brief description of the problem. We’ll also need a clear pic of the product and either a photo of the barcode with our company name or a photo of your receipt. We pass your claim onto the cultivator and they determine the qualifications for a defective product. We will notify you via email.
They are used for tracking inventory.
Your legal limit is determined by where you live. Illinois residents are allowed a per day purchase of:
60 grams of cannabis flower
10 grams of cannabis concentrate
1 gram cannabis infused edible/product
For out-of-state visitors or those with a federally issued ID, your limit is half of what our locals are allowed.
30 grams of cannabis flower
5 grams of cannabis concentrate
500 milligrams of cannabis infused edible/product
You can smoke, dab, enjoy your edibles, and consume cannabis at home or any private residence, out of public view. For tenants, make sure to check your landlord’s policy for cannabis possession and consumption. For further information on state laws regarding cannabis consumption, cannabis.illinois.gov is a great resource.
The cannabinoid content of the product is provided on the label. THCA becomes psychoactive when converted to THCA, which happens by way of heating via smoking, dabbing, vaping or baking. The label also lists the small percentage of THC that occurs naturally during the curing and drying process. To know the exact percentage of THC you are truly experiencing, use this equation. THCA x .877 + THC.
The recommendation is “Start low and go slow.” Begin with the lowest dosage and wait several hours before consuming more. The effects of edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to begin and up to 4 hours to reach their peak. The effects of edibles tend to be more intense than other methods.
The headspace above the oil level is normal and caused by several factors. Some of the extracted oil has most likely been absorbed into the ceramic heating element. This is to fully saturate the ceramic atomizer so that you can begin vaping right away. Also, when the mouthpiece is fitted into the reservoir, it causes a bit of air pressure which potentially lowers the oil level. Plus, the reservoir is actually created to include headspace to decrease the risk of oil leakage.
If you are an Illinois resident, you’ll need 2 proofs of residency and a physician’s certification. You then create an account with the IDPH to complete the process. For further information you can reach out to your local health department.
Sativa and indica are the two main subspecies of cannabis–each with their own set of psychoactive properties. All strains and genetics today are hybrids that can lean indica or sativa with their perceived effects. Let’s break it down, shall we.
What are “sativa” and “indica” anyway?
Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica–or “sativa” and “indica” for short– are the two main subspecies of the cannabis plant. The former are taller and grow in warmer regions, while the latter are shorter and bushier and tend to grow in the mountains. Both are consumed for their recreational and therapeutic benefits.
Do they affect me differently?
Though genetically similar, sativa and indica tend to produce different psychoactive effects: sativa tends to be euphoric and uplifting, while indica is usually more soothing and relaxing. Specifically, sativa tends to offer an energizing and wakeful high, making it popular for daytime use. Because of its stimulating and cerebral qualities, sativa is considered especially psychoactive or “heady.” Indica, by contrast, tends to produce a weightier and more laid back experience–often described in terms of a “body high” or “body buzz”–and is commonly consumed to wind down in the evenings, for pain relief, or as a nighttime sedative/sleep aid.
So what’s a “strain” then?
If sativa and indica are the two naturally occurring types of cannabis, a strain is a variety that humans have cultivated on purpose. Strains can be developed from either the sativa or indica plant in isolation–or, what’s more often the case, combine genetic elements from both. Also known as “cultivars,” strains are selectively bred to emphasize a variety of desirable traits–whether aroma, flavor, or psychoactive properties. There are hundreds of pure and hybrid strains available to consume and enjoy.
So do hybrid strains have hybrid psychoactive properties?
Exactly! Between pure sativa strains and pure indica strains lie a vast range of hybrid strains combining the psychoactive properties of each. Some are lively and sativa-dominant, some are soothing and indica-dominant, and some strike a balance between the two. When it comes to characterizing the psychoactive effects of different strains, however, it is important to note that these characteristics are only tendencies: as individual responses may vary, what matters most is discovering the strains that you like best.
In short: when it comes to sativa, indica, and the many strains of cannabis that lie between them, no two experiences are exactly alike. Just as flavors and aromas will vary, so will their psychoactive effects.
