  • What is THC, THCA, and CBD?

    - **THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol):** This is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis,

    responsible for the 'high' sensation. The THC percentage on labels indicates its proportion relative to other compounds in the product.


    - **THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid):** THCA is the precursor to THC and is non-psychoactive until it is heated. It has potential therapeutic benefits for conditions like arthritis and chronic pain. People often consume it through raw cannabis products.


    - **CBD (Cannabidiol):** CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid known for its potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety effects. It is the second most common cannabinoid found in cannabis. Products high in CBD are ideal for those seeking these benefits without the intoxicating effects of THC. If you're looking for CBD-dominant products, ask our staff for assistance.

  • What should I bring on my first visit?

    For your first visit, you will need to bring a valid government-issued ID (such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport) to verify your age. If you are a medical patient, please also bring your medical marijuana card.
