• bong

    A type of water pipe, a bong is a device used for smoking dried cannabis flower. It’s typically made up of four components: a bowl, downstem, base and tube. Dried cannabis is placed in the bowl and lit. The resulting smoke is drawn through the downstem and into the water in the base, where it bubbles. It then rises into the tube and is inhaled through the mouthpiece. Bongs come in all shapes and sizes, and can be made of glass, acrylic, wood, metal, silicone and other materials.

  • feminized

    Feminized refers to a cannabis seed that has been manipulated to guarantee it produces a female plant. Growers prefer female plants because, unlike males, they produce the trichome-covered flowers that contain THC, CBD and other cannabinoids. Cannabis seeds can also be regular (not genetically engineered in any way) or autoflowering. 

  • autoflowering

    Autoflowering refers to a cannabis seed that has been manipulated to flower without the usual specific lighting and growing cycle requirements of regular seeds — it will automatically flower after about 10 weeks of germination, regardless of the light conditions. Cannabis seeds can also be regular (not genetically engineered in any way) or feminized.

  • terpene profile

    Terpenes are fragrant oils that give plants unique tastes and aromas. Each cannabis strain or cultivar has its own unique combination of these compounds, which mix to produce a particular aroma or terpene profile that can be anywhere from earthy, woodsy, herbal, spicy, diesel or cheesy all the way to citrusy or sweet.

  • 510-thread

    A term used in relation to vapes, 510-thread is a common type of connection that makes vape cartridges universally compatible with a large variety of batteries. Some vape cartridges can be used only with batteries specific to the brand, so double-check which type you have before purchasing. The name “510” refers to the five-millimetre width of the 10 threads, or grooves, used in the connection. 

  • CBC

    Cannabichromene, or CBC, is a non-intoxicating minor cannabinoid that has not been well studied. Limited experimental research has shown its promise in providing an anti-inflammatory effect, and other studies have hinted at possible medical uses. 

  • CBG

    Cannabigerol, or CBG, is a minor cannabinoid with non-intoxicating effects. It is present in trace amounts in most strains, starting as cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, before converting to other cannabinoids like THCA and CBDA.  

    Research is ongoing to uncover CBG’s potential to treat neurological disorders, including Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, as well as inflammatory bowel disease. Other studies are underway to investigate its antibacterial properties. 

  • CBN

    Cannabinol, or CBN, is a minor cannabinoid that develops when THC oxidizes over time. Exposure of dried cannabis to oxygen and heat, a process called decarboxylation, speeds up this process. Little research has been done to date, but CBN is being studied for its usefulness in regulating sleep and relaxation.

  • THCA

    Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, or THCA, is the non-active form of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and it’s found in fresh cannabis plants. The THC becomes activated through decarboxylation when cannabis is heated, dried or cured. Unlike THC, THCA is not thought to produce psychoactive effects.

  • CBDA

    Cannabidiolic acid, or CBDA, is the non-active form of cannabidiol, or CBD, and it’s found in fresh cannabis plants. The CBD becomes activated through decarboxylation when cannabis is heated, dried or cured.

  • clone

    A clone is a plant that is an exact genetic copy of its original mother plant. Instead of being grown from seed, a clone is produced by taking a cutting from a healthy plant with desirable characteristics. The cutting is placed in a solution that helps it form roots so it can eventually be transplanted into soil.

  • carrier oil

    Carrier oils are used in beverages, edibles, cannabis oil, topicals and other products consumed through ingestion or topical application. In these products, cannabis extracts are blended with a neutral carrier oil that can bind with fat molecules in your body and help it process the cannabinoids. The most commonly used carrier oil is medium-chain triglyceride, or MCT. It’s a fat found in foods such as palm kernel oil, coconut oil and butter that is broken down and quickly absorbed into the body. Other types of carrier oils include grapeseed, sunflower, olive and hemp seed.
