🌱What Is Cannabis, Anyway?
Cannabis is a plant with a long history of use for wellness, recreation, and creativity. People enjoy it in different forms — from flower to edibles to oils. The beauty of cannabis is that it’s versatile, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. At the heart of cannabis are natural compounds called cannabinoids. The two most well-known are:
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis. Different strains and dosages create different experiences—from uplifting to deeply relaxing.
- CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-intoxicating and known for its calming, therapeutic effects. Many people use CBD for stress, sleep, or general wellness.
Together, THC and CBD interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate balance, mood, and overall well-being. At Greenhouse Farmacy, our team is always ready to explain these compounds and help you find the right ratio for your needs.
🍃🍫💨 Different Ways to Consume Cannabis
Cannabis isn’t one-size-fits-all. The best method depends on your comfort level, lifestyle, and goals. Here are the most common options:
- 🌸 Flower (smoking): The traditional method. Offers quick effects, with a wide variety of strains to explore.
- 🚬 Pre-rolls: Convenient and beginner-friendly—already rolled and ready to enjoy.
- 🍪 Edibles: Gummies, chocolates, and other treats. Effects take longer to kick in (30–90 minutes) but last much longer.
- 💨 Vapes: A smoke-free option with fast-acting results and portable convenience.
- 🍶 Tinctures: Dropped under the tongue, tinctures offer precise dosing and a discreet way to use cannabis.
- 🧴 Topicals: Lotions, balms, or salves that provide localized relief without psychoactive effects.

If you’re new to cannabis, it’s wise to:
- Start Low, Go Slow: Begin with small amounts and give your body time to respond.
- Prioritize Balance: Products with a mix of THC and CBD can offer a gentler introduction.
