Cannabis Products: What’s on the market
Now that cannabis has been legalized across Canada there are many new stores with tons of new products on the market. I would like to break down some of the products for you like the ones we have in our Port Sydney cannabis store.
Cannabis-based products include tinctures, capsules, topicals, edibles, beverages, powders, vapes, extracts, and flowers, of course, all of which we carry at The Green Bouquet Cannabis. Something to keep in mind is that when first using cannabis it is smart to start with lower doses as all cannabis is a personal experiment because everyone's endocannabinoid system is different and cannabis works individually in everyone. If you are on medications that you are worried about conflicting with cannabis, please talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
With that being said, some of the most popular products used by new customers are tinctures, edibles, beverages, and flowers.
Tinctures, also known as sublingual or an oil normally come in a 30ml bottle or bigger with a dropper in the package and can be only CBD or THC or a mixture of both cannabinoids. Being that this is a sublingual product cannabis is absorbed into our blood streams so it works faster than taking an edible. They can also be more cost-effective compared to edibles. You can also use them as a topical, in cooking and so much more.
Capsules are a similar format to oils but are already pre-dosed so they are easier and more convenient to take, they however may take longer to get into your system as they have to go through our digestive systems and not directly into our bloodstream.
Topicals work much differently than anything that you take orally or inhale. They also can be just THC, CBD, or a mixture of both. There are also different types of topicals from lotions, salves, and transdermals. Topicals work by binding with the CB2 Receptors that our bodies naturally have and are part of our Endocannabinoid systems. Topicals will not make you high, because they do not breach the bloodstream. They work with our bodies much differently than if you ingest or inhale cannabis. We have a range of topicals from face cream to transdermals as they are focused on aiding the body in different ways.
Edibles, Beverages, and Powders. There are so many different products that are getting pretty popular. Edibles or gummies and baked goods all come in an assortment of flavors, and cannabinoid ranges there are also Quick versions that make the gummies absorb faster into our systems than a normal edible.
Beverages are probably one of the fastest growing products in the market as many are substituting alcoholic beverages for cannabis drinks. Many cannabis drinks are sugar-free, and low calories and they come in a large variety of flavours (including non-alcoholic beer) and cannabinoid ranges.
To use a beverage powder, you can add them to any beverage and most are flavorless and odorless so are a great alternative, they also come in a range for THC and CBD.
Vapes and extracts are other alternatives to smoking cannabis. Vapes are considered convenient, discreet, and easy to use. They come in a large variety of styles, flavors, and cannabinoid ranges.
Extracts cover a large variety of products from hash, honey oil, and shatter. Hash is the most popular in this category and it also comes in a large variety of styles, sizes, cannabinoid ranges, and tastes.
We know that it can be overwhelming when first using cannabis or cannabis products, so we do our best to explain and break down the information at our cannabis store. If you have questions or want more information, stop in to the dispensary in Muskoka or give us a call or send us an email, we are here to help.
