Groundwork and buying guides · not medical advice
Cannabis education
Three pages of groundwork, plus buying guides, written for someone who wants to understand what they are buying rather than be sold to.
None of it is medical advice, and none of it replaces asking a budtender what a specific product will do.
Where to start
Cannabis 101 covers the plant, the product formats you will see on a menu, and how the ways of consuming differ in onset and duration.
Cannabinoids goes a layer down into THC, CBD and the rest of the compounds a lab report lists.
Recreational and medical explains how the two kinds of access differ in California, and what that means at the counter.
The buying guides answer one practical question each, starting with how many grams are in an eighth and which sizes our two shelves actually carry.
