THC stands for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, and is defined as the main active compound found in cannabis. It’s responsible for the intoxicating or “high” effects many people experience when consuming cannabis.

Cannabis is a type of plant from the family Cannabaceae. It produces flowers that are consumed for medicinal and recreational purposes due to the active compounds that can cause the feeling of being "high."

When you consume cannabis, the chemical compounds in THC interact with your Endocannabinoid System—a biological system spread throughout your entire body. This interaction is what makes you feel "high."

Cannabis and hemp are both derived from the species Cannabis sativa. However, hemp refers to a separate cultivar of the plant which produces equal to or less than 0.3% THC. Because of this low THC content, hemp is primarily used for industrial purposes.

No, this would be in violation of the Cannabis Act.

Yes, there are many flower vapourizers available in the Canadian regulated market.

Cannabis vapourizers do have a distinct scent, but one that is much more discreet than that of a joint. This is because vapourizers heat cannabis, rather than burn it.

Yes, since October 17, 2019.

When vaping, the active compounds in your cannabis (cannabinoids and terpenes) are heated up rather than burned. When inhaling the resulting vapour, these active ingredients are almost immediately absorbed through the lungs.

These effects usually last up to 6 hours, but could even last up to 24 hours.

Our 510 threaded vape cartridges are filled with precise amounts of cannabis extract, terpenes, and some other ingredients that can be vapourized when paired with a compatible 510 threaded battery.

There may be health risks associated with vaping that are not fully known or understood. Refer to the following for risks of vaping: www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/smoking-tobacco/vaping/risks.html.

Our drinks do not have a “Best Before” date; however, we suggest storing them in a cool, dry place or refrigerating after opening.

Our drinks consist of the following ingredients: water/carbonated water, distilled cannabis, and natural flavours. They also contain other ingredients depending on the specific product, all of which are listed on the product packaging.

Beverages should be treated like all other ingestible formats, with an expected onset of 30 minutes to 2 hours. 

In addition, these effects could last for as long as 12 hours or more. Some effects could last as long as 24 hours.

Over the next few months, we’ll be releasing a variety of cannabis-infused drinks. Selection may vary by province and store.

If a consumer simply eats dried flower, chances are they won’t experience anything as the THC must be activated by heat (decarboxylated) to produce effects. 

If ingesting decarboxylated cannabis, a person can expect to feel the effects of THC in approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours.

As of October 17, 2019, edible cannabis, cannabis extracts, and topical cannabis products have been legal to produce and sell.

Edibles are digested just like any other food, and the active compounds need to be processed by the liver before entering your bloodstream. This means the effects of cannabis edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in, and can last up to 12 hours (or in some cases 24 hours).

Since THC and CBD affect everyone differently, the effect of edibles will be dependent on the individual. All edible product packaging indicates the THC and CBD levels as required by law. 

Much like our other products, we suggest practicing a “start low, go slow” methodology as a means of finding an appropriate serving size for you. 

Like all cannabis products, edibles can fall under the category of “indica”, “sativa” or “hybrid”. 

Some people use the term “indica” to describe effects that are more sedating or physical in nature, while the term “sativa” is often used to describe effects that are more cerebral or energizing. However, the way a product makes you feel has more to do with their levels of THC and CBD.

Over the years, cannabis has been recognized for its leaves, which are further defined by their finger-like serrated leaflets.

Cannabis flowers (or buds) begin developing from a small node where the leaf’s stem meets the branch or stalk.

As the plant matures, its flowers and leaves can develop into various hues of green, purple, orange, pink and yellow.

Once harvested, the plant is cut down, the leaves are trimmed off, and only the flower remains to be dried, cured, and consumed.

It all depends on the level of THC and CBD within a drink and how your Endocannabinoid System reacts to it. 

• THC-infused cannabis beverages will result in a psychoactive effect. 

• CBD-infused cannabis beverages can produce effects, but not the same psychoactive effects as THC.

Beverages should be treated like all other ingestible formats, with an expected onset of 30 minutes to 2 hours. 

In addition, these effects could last for as long as 12 hours or more. Some effects could last as long as 24 hours.

Yes, as of October 17, 2019 cannabis-infused beverages are allowed to be produced and sold by those authorized to produce, distribute, or sell cannabis.  

There is no guidance for drivers about how much cannabis can be consumed before it is unsafe to drive, or how long a driver should wait to drive after consuming cannabis. With that said, don’t take a chance; don’t drive after consuming cannabis. To learn about the onset and duration of cannabis, you can read more here.

Yes, cannabis flower has been legal and available for recreational use in Canada since October 17, 2018.

On October 17, 2018, the production and sale of dried cannabis (flower), cannabis oil (including softgels), and cannabis plants and seeds became legal in Canada. 

On October 17, 2019, cannabis edibles such as beverages and chocolates, cannabis extract (including vape pens and cartridges), and cannabis topicals became legal in Canada. They were made available for sale in December of 2019.

Yes, just like with alcohol or tobacco sales, all Canadian citizens are subject to government-issued photo identification requests while purchasing cannabis.

The regulations state 30 grams of dried cannabis (or the equivalent) as the maximum amount allowed to be purchased or carried on a person at a time.

To gain access to medical cannabis, you will be required to get a Medical Document completed and signed by a healthcare professional.
