THC Edibles

When selecting your edibles, it’s best to consider the experience you want and expect. Although some cannabis enthusiasts may solely factor-in the potency of THC when choosing a strain, it’s primarily the composition of cannabinoids, trichomes, and terpenes that distinguish one strain’s experience from another.

• Cannabinoids: Cannabinoids are compounds found in cannabis that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, producing various effects such as pain relief, relaxation, and elevated mood. Different cannabis strains contain varying levels of cannabinoids, which contribute to their unique effects. For example, strains with high levels of THC tend to produce more intense psychoactive effects, while strains with higher levels of CBD may have more potential for therapeutic use. The combination of cannabinoids, along with other compounds like terpenes, creates the distinct characteristics and effects of each marijuana strain.
• Trichomes: Trichomes are tiny, hair-like structures that cover the surface of cannabis plants and contain various compounds such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Trichomes play an important role in determining the potency and effects of different marijuana strains. Strains with more trichomes tend to have higher levels of terpenes, leading to more potent and flavorful effects. The appearance of trichomes can also indicate the optimal time for harvesting a cannabis plant for maximum potency.
• Terpenes: Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to a strain’s distinctive smell, flavor, and experience. Terpenes can interact with other compounds, including cannabinoids, to produce various therapeutic effects. Different terpenes have different effects, such as relaxation or increased energy, and their combination with cannabinoids can result in unique and complex effects. The terpene profile of a strain can influence its overall effect and distinguish it from other strains.
