THC vs. CBD
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the cannabinoid most responsible for the euphoric "high." CBD (cannabidiol) is non-intoxicating and is often used for calm and comfort without a heady effect. Many products blend the two, and a balanced 1:1 ratio can soften THC's intensity while keeping its benefits. If you are new, start low on THC and go slow.
Terpenes and effects
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give each strain its smell (citrus, pine, pepper, florals) and they shape how a product feels. Limonene tends to feel bright and uplifting, myrcene relaxed and couch-friendly, pinene clear and focused, linalool calm and soothing. On every product page we list the detected terpenes and the effects they lean toward, so you can shop by the experience you want, not just the name.
Ways to consume
Flower and pre-rolls offer fast onset, with effects within minutes lasting 1 to 3 hours. Vapes and concentrates are potent and quick. Edibles and beverages have a slower onset (30 to 90 minutes) and last much longer, so patience matters. Tinctures are flexible and let you dose by the drop. Onset and duration vary by person, product, and how much you have eaten.
Dosing and "start low, go slow"
For edibles, 2.5 to 5 mg of THC is a common starting dose; wait a full two hours before taking more. Tolerance builds over time and resets with breaks. You can never un-take a dose, so it is always safer to work up gradually.
How to read a lab report (COA)
Every product New York sells is lab-tested. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) shows total THC and CBD, the full cannabinoid and terpene breakdown, and passing results for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbials. Look for the "View lab test results" link on our product pages to see each batch's own COA.
