A frustrating aspect of smoking weed is having bud with no grinder. Maybe you’re at a social gathering and left the tool at home. Perhaps you broke it and haven’t found a replacement. Regardless of the reason, you need to find a way to break apart your nug so you can enjoy a smoke session.

Anyone trying weed for the first time might be excited to experience the effects of a widely forbidden plant. Unfortunately, most novice smokers make the mistake of not understanding that not all cannabis is equal. It’s tricky to determine the quality of weed, especially if you haven’t acquired it legally. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on bud from a dispensary, you’ll hear terms like regs, mids, headies, and beasters, and they all refer to quality. Use the guide below to learn the differences between them and understand what it means to procure high-quality cannabis. Common Names for Cannabis Grades Regs The lowest-quality weed you can buy is regs, which is short for “dregs.” Because the quality is so low, growers usually prepackage the cannabis in large bricks…

While individuals have unique reactions to marijuana, most weed sessions follow a similar general trajectory. Specifically, there are five distinct stages of being high. Read on as we discuss what to expect at each, but don’t get too hung up about “staying on schedule” or worrying that you aren’t doing it right if your companions seem to be having a different experience than you.

A fully functioning grinder is a must-have tool for the cannabis enthusiast. A grinder eliminates the time-consuming process of picking your herbs apart by hand. Whether you are rolling or packing a bong, a grinder will give you an even burn, allowing for a pleasant smoking experience – provided that you keep it clean. Why Should You Regularly Clean Your Grinder? Ideally, you should clean your grinder once per month, especially if you’re not a frequent smoker. The stickiness of cannabis plant residue can affect your grinder’s functionality. If you don’t clean your grinder, the fresh product will cling to the old product, and you won’t get a consistent burn. Over time, mold grows on the plant material residue in a grinder, especially if you live in a humid climate.…

Read on as we explain these differences to help you try to decide which is best for you.

[su_custom_gallery source="media: 1098" link="lightbox" width="900" height="600" title="never"] The world of cannabis strains comprises two broad groups: sativa versus indica strains, each with its unique properties and benefits. There are also sativa-indica hybrids that combine the best of both. Sativa Strains Cannabis Sativa originates in dry and hot climates such as those found in Central America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The plants are thin and tall, with narrow leaves. Sativa strains are higher in THC, the euphoria-inducing component in cannabis, and lower in CBD. They have an energizing, stimulating, mentally invigorating effect known to improve focus and clarity. Sativas are usually recommended for morning or daytime use. Some examples of popular sativa strains are Haze Berry, Acapulco Gold, and Sour Diesel. Indica Strains Cannabis Indica hails from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and…

Live resin is a concentrate derived from a fresh cannabis plant. This product, containing only the desirable compounds—namely terpenes and cannabinoids—comes from a plant that is still alive to preserve its terpenes, smell, flavors, and other positive attributes. Live resin is the go-to THC product for those who prefer a high concentration of terpenes, intense aroma, and therapeutic benefits. Learn more about this concentrate below. The Live Resin Process The live resin process consists of several steps: Harvesting: The first step is harvesting the cannabis plant at the peak of its ripeness. Plant materials for live resin are the sugar leaves and flower buds – not the stems and fan leaves. Freezing: Processing the plant materials immediately after harvesting is critical to prevent moisture accumulation, drying, or exposure to light…

If you are an athlete who uses cannabis, sports league drug tests can pose a serious challenge for you. As you probably know, cannabis is a banned substance and you’ll want to get it out of your system before taking a drug test. You might wonder how long you have to refrain from using weed to pass the test. What Do Drug Tests Check? All types of drug tests will be looking for THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis. THC itself breaks down pretty quickly, but the process yields several inactive metabolites. These substances serve as markers of cannabis use and are present in the body long after the high sensation has passed. Types of Cannabis Drug Tests Urine, blood, hair, and saliva tests can detect the presence of cannabinoid…
