Welcome to Cannabis 101
Cannabis can feel overwhelming at first—different cannabinoids, strains, terpenes, and products that all claim to do something unique. That’s why we’re starting Cannabis 101, a weekly series to help cut through the noise.
Each post will focus on one part of cannabis, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions and find what works best for your wellness.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll be covering in this series:
- Cannabinoids Explained – THC, THCa, CBD, CBG, and how they affect your body.

- Consumption Methods – Smoking, vaping, edibles, tinctures, topicals, and more.

Why This Series Matters
