Weed, pot, marijuana, Mary Jane…cannabis is known by many names. But, what is cannabis? Cannabis is a plant that produces flower, or bud, that contains the psychoactive cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in addition to 483 other compounds like CBD, CBG, & CBN. Visit our strain page for more information.

The highly potent product made from extracting THC and other chemical compounds from the cannabis plant. Oil, wax, dabs, rosin, resin, and shatter are all different forms of cannabis concentrate.

What is rosin?
Rosin is solvent-less extract that uses heat and pressure to release the oils in the flower that can be smoked.
What is distillate?
Distillate is highly refined oil that is run through many purification processes exposing it to heat and a deep vacuum. The result is a sticky honey-like oil. Terpenes are fractionated out separately and can be reintroduced.
What is THCA crystalline?
THCA crystalline is a solid extract that goes through many processes and filters in order to destroy all plant matter. The results are clear crystals that can boast up to 99% THC.
What is nug run?
Nug run is hash oil made from whole flower rather than shake and trim.
What is live resin?
Live resin is extracted from cannabis that is frozen rather than cured before extracting and results in a higher quality product.
What is shatter?
Shatter refers to the consistency of concentrate that is shelf stable, easy to work with, and breaks like glass when bent.
What is wax?
Wax is a concentrate that is opaque and typically crumbly or peanut-butter like. It’s usually easy to scoop and good for beginners.
What is sugar wax?
Sugar wax is a gritty sand-like oil that is easy to scoop unless it’s packed full of terpenes, then it might be a little soupy.
What is cannabis isolate?
Isolate is THC concentrated down to its purest form.
What is RSO?
RSO, short for Rick Simpson Oil, is a full plant extract, using all parts of the plant. RSO is made by soaking plant matter in alcohol. Afterward, the plant matter is filtered out. The resulting extract retains a tar-like appearance once the solvents have evaporated. RSO is usually consumed orally.
What is BHO?
BHO, short for Butane Hash Oil, is made by placing plant matter in a closed column, washing butane over it, and then recovering the solvent. The solvent pulls THC, CBD, and the terpenes. This is then poured out into a thin sheet and placed in a vacuum drying oven that removes any remaining solvents.
What is CO2 oil?
CO2 oil comes from a supercritical fluid extraction that removes THC and terpenes from raw cannabis. This solvent and pressure are used to extract cannabinoids and terpenes. Using this solvent, the resulting extract is considered by many to be “cleaner” than butane or propane-derived extracts. This method results in a viscous, oily liquid. Moreover, this oil is frequently found in vaporizer pens and cartridges.
What does solvent-free mean?
Solvent-free means that solvents were used but are fully purged out of the concentrate, like with distillate.
What does solventless mean?
Solventless mean that no solvents were used at any time during the extraction, like with rosin, dry sift, bubble hash, or traditional hash.
What does it mean to decarboxylate weed?
Decarboxylation is the process of converting the acid form (also called “inactive”) cannabinoids such as THCA to THC and CBDA to CBD. It is an essential part of the process if you wish to consume cannabis orally.
What is kief?
Kief results from the separation trichomes from the marijuana plant. Kief is often referred to as dry sieve hash thanks to the use of screens to facilitate the extraction.
What is purging?
Purging is the process of removing residual solvent from a concentrate.
What is a carb cap?
A carb cap is a piece of glass, quartz, ceramic or titanium that is used to trap the air and activate non-vaporized oil when covered over the nail of a dab rig; Carb caps are commonly used for quartz bangers and titanium and ceramic domeless nails.
What is a terpene?
Terpenes, sometimes referred to as “terps”, are aromatic compounds found in plants including cannabis. While only a handful make up a majority of most cannabis terpene profiles, there are over 100 different terpenes found in cannabis plants. Each cannabis strain has a unique terpene profile. As a result, different cannabis strains have different aroma/flavor profiles as well as different unique effects. That’s right, terpenes affect how you get high.
How do terpenes affect your high?
Well, terpenes and other cannabinoids help THC absorb into the body more efficiently and promote a longer lasting high. Smoking pure THC with no other cannabinoids or terpenes present often leads to a short and shallow high. In addition to this, each terpene has it’s own unique effects on the body. To learn more in depth about what each terpene does, keep reading below.

Initiative 502 – The law legalized cannabis use for adults, however, there are still a number of restrictions. It is important for you to be aware of the following laws:
Age Limit – Only adults age 21 and older can purchase and possess cannabis.
Purchase Limits – Adults age 21 and over can purchase up to one ounce of usable cannabis (flower), 16 ounces of cannabis-infused edibles in solid form, 72 ounces in liquid form, and 7 grams of cannabis concentrates.
Buying and Selling – Cannabis can only be sold and purchased at state-licensed retail stores. A valid photo ID is required, and no one under 21 is allowed on the retail premises. Many retail cannabis stores only accept cash (Cinder is one of them).
Public Use – It is illegal to consume cannabis in view of the public.
Driving – It is illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis. Having more than 5 nano-grams of active THC per milliliter of blood will result in significant legal penalties.
Travel – It is illegal to take cannabis outside of Washington. Doing so will result in significant legal penalties.
The entourage effect exemplifies the combined effects of the various cannabinoids and terpenes found in a particular cannabis strain.
A good example of a literal entourage is a baseball team. The team travels and works together, but each player has their own special set of skills. The effectiveness of a team depends on how skilled each player is at their particular position. A baseball team can have the best pitcher in the world, but if the other positions aren’t covered, you have a losing team.
The same is true of cannabis strains. Although each cannabinoid and each terpene has its own particular effects, the combination of these can produce an overall effect which is far greater than the sum of its parts. You can have a strain which is high in THC, but without the other active compounds, its effects are actually very limited.
