• Why is it unsafe for youth to consume cannabis?

    The brain continues developing until around age 25, and the use of cannabis may interfere with this development. This is because when consumed, cannabis directly interacts with your brain and central nervous system. Risks increase with heavy, prolonged consumption and regular consumption at an early age.

     

  • How long will cannabis stay in my system?

    How long cannabis stays in your system depends on individual factors, such as how much you consume, how you consume it and your genetics, age, personality, sex and other personal biological factors. Effects can take up to 24 hours to fully dissipate, but tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can be detectable in the bloodstream for up to seven days or more, depending on several factors, including frequency of consumption.

    There are few reports of secondary intoxication (for example, from second-hand smoke), but it also depends on a number of factors, including dose and ventilation of the space.

  • Do all cannabis products make you “high”?

    No. Cannabis products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) will have an intoxicating effect or produce a “high.” However, some cannabis products contain exclusively cannabidiol (CBD) and generally have no intoxicating effects.

  • Can I cook with cannabis?

    Yes, you can cook with cannabis, but it takes practice to create cannabis-infused products that are consistently dosed.

  • How do I know how much cannabis to consume?

    How much cannabis you can safely consume entirely depends on you and your body. Knowing your limit is impossible if you’ve never tried cannabis before. Even if you have, each session can introduce new variables that may affect the experience, from differences in the product format, consumption method or potency to changes in your environment or mood. Consider recording the amount you consume and monitoring your experience to fully understand how much cannabis is right for you.

  • What is CBD?

    CBD, or cannabidiol, is common cannabinoid in cannabis. When consumed, CBD affects various processes in your body but does not produce an intoxicating effect.

  • What is THC?

    Short for tetrahydrocannabinol, THC is the most common cannabinoid in cannabis. It is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid responsible for the intoxicating “high” that may be experienced when it’s consumed. It binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body, affecting mood, memory, appetite and pain perception.
