CANNABIS 101

+

LET’S GET STARTED

You’re going to love this lesson.
Cannabis is complex, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Getting the experience you want begins with knowing how cannabis works— and it’s not just strains and formats, either.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

True or False:
You can get a good sense of a strain’s effects from whether it’s indica-dominant or sativa-dominant.
You’re right! Dominance is just one of many potential clues.
Not so fast. There’s a lot more than dominance that determines a strain’s effect.
Cannabinoids, one of the compounds found in cannabis, get you high.
Sorry, we tricked you. Not every cannabinoid gets you high.
You’re pretty smart, aren’t you? Correct: Not all cannabinoids get you high.
What’s CBN?
Sorry, no drama here—just one of many cannabinoids we’re still exploring
You really know what you’re talking about, don’t you?
What is the “entourage effect?”
Nailed it. Again.
Close, but, you’re thinking of the Entourage effect—capitalization matters
Where does cannabis get its smell?
Yes, and so do lots of other things—from lemons to rosemary.
Say it with us: I will study my cannabis. I will study my cannabis. I will study my cannabis.
Not too shabby…
You got /5 right, but there’s always room to learn more. Keep reading or jump to a section you’re feeling particularly fuzzy about using the menu below.
