Understanding the differences between cannabis varieties and learning the various ways to consume them


Marshall Posner N


ot all cannabis is the same! One of the most widely misunderstood perspectives regarding cannabis


is that it just gets you “high”. While that’s definitely true about certain types of can- nabis strains, it’s also definitely not appli- cable to all cannabis strains. Considering there are currently over 900 different can- nabis strains recognized worldwide, with more being introduced on a regular basis, it’s easy to appreciate that different strains produce varied effects. As a starting point, cannabis contains


upwards of 85 different cannabinoids (maybe more), which largely contribute to the characteristics of each strain, based upon their strength and quality. Te other most determining factor that influences the characteristics of individual cannabis strains are terpenes. Understanding the cannabinoid profile along with the terpene profile will help you better appreciate what to expect from a sensory and experiential perspective, when consuming any par- ticular strain. In other words, get to know your cannabis! Cannabinoids


The most popularized cannabinoid


found in cannabis is THC, otherwise known as Tetrahydrocannabinol. THC is the psychoactive compound found in can- nabis. In other words, the higher the THC content in the strain you’re consuming, the more of a “high” that you can expect to experience when consuming this par- ticular strain. For medical patients, THC is often used as an effective treatment for pain relief, nausea suppression, appetite stimulation, sleep disorders and more. In contrast, the other most recognized


resent a combination of both Sativas and Indicas, depending on their composition. Get to know every strain you’re consum-


ing by doing your research beforehand. I would suggest checking out the following online resources if you want to learn more about any specific strains, including what strain category they fall into and the type of effects that you can expect to experience when you consume them. a) Leafly - www.leafly.com/ b) Wikileaf - www.wikileaf.com/ Ways to Consume Cannabis Contrary to popular belief, there are


many different ways to consume cannabis. You don’t have to just smoke it! Currently, most medical patients choose to either vaporize their cannabis or ingest it. When you inhale cannabis either


Sativa strain – Super Lemon Haze.


compound found in cannabis is CBD, otherwise known as Cannabidiol. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid often used for treatments related to anti-anxiety, anti- inflammation, anti-seizure and pain relief. Terpenes


Terpenes are responsible for the unique


aromas of individual cannabis strains. They’re also widely accepted as being responsible for some of the therapeutic properties of cannabis. Terpenoid compo- sition differs between cannabis strains; the most common terpenes found in cannabis plants are pinene, limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, linalool, terpinolene and terpineol.


Types of Cannabis All cannabis strains can be placed into


one of the following categories: Indicas, Sativas and Hybrids. Generally speaking, consuming Sativa


cannabis strains results in feeling happy, uplifted, energetic, euphoric and relaxed. Often these strains are consumed by medi- cal patients throughout the day. By comparison, Indica strains usually


induce the following effects: extreme re- laxation, happiness, sleepiness, euphoria and hunger. Often these strains are con- sumed by medical patients in the evening and before bedtime. Hybrid strains produce effects that rep-


through smoking or vaporization, the re- sults are felt almost immediately and they last for approximately two to three hours depending on your body composition. By comparison, when you ingest cannabis, it takes upwards of 45 to 60 minutes to be metabolized into your bloodstream and the effects normally last for upwards of four to six hours. Vaporization is widely considered as a


health-conscience alternative to smoking because it does not involve any combus- tion and therefore does not produce any carcinogens. If you’re interested in learning more


about the different ways to consume can- nabis, call the Delta 9 Lifestyle Clinic at 204-410-3424 to speak with one of our Can- nabis Care Specialists. You’re also invited to register for our upcoming workshops on homemade edibles and topicals. Te first workshop date is scheduled for Tuesday, May 22nd.
