CBD
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants.

CBD can be incorporated into oils, capsules, topicals, and other formulations. Its versatility and broad appeal make it a key component in modern cannabis products
THC
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It interacts with the body to produce a range of effects, including changes in mood, perception, and sensation. THC is commonly used in both recreational and medicinal products, and understanding its effects helps you make informed choices about dosage and consumption.
SATIVA
Sativa strains are typically known for their energizing, uplifting, and cerebral effects, making them popular for mood elevation and creative activities.
INDICA
Indica strains are known for their relaxing, sedative, and body-focused effects, often described as a “couch-lock” sensation. They appear as Shorter, bushier plants with broad leaves and dense buds originating from cooler, mountainous regions like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
WHAT ARE TERPENES?
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give each cannabis strain its distinctive smell and taste. From citrusy and fruity to earthy and spicy, terpenes shape the sensory experience of cannabis. They also interact with other compounds in the plant, subtly influencing the overall effects and experience of each product.
