THC is the compound responsible for the "high" associated with cannabis, while CBD is non-psychoactive and offers benefits like reducing pain, inflammation, and anxiety without any intoxicating effects.

Cannabis strains are divided into three categories:

• Indica: Provides calming and relaxing effects.
• Sativa: Offers energizing and uplifting effects.
• Hybrid: Combines the effects of both Indica and Sativa for a balanced experience.

Cannabis laws vary by location. In some areas, cannabis is fully legal for recreational and medicinal use, while others have restrictions. Check your local regulations before purchasing or using cannabis.

There are several ways to consume cannabis:

• Smoking (joints, pipes, or bongs)
• Vaping
• Edibles (like gummies or baked goods)
• Oils and tinctures
• Topical products (creams or balms)

Cannabis may help with:

• Managing chronic pain
• Reducing anxiety and stress
• Improving sleep quality
• Supporting appetite
• Relieving symptoms of conditions like arthritis or epilepsy

Terpenes are natural aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to its unique flavors, scents, and effects. They not only enhance the sensory experience but also influence how cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with your body, creating a phenomenon known as the "entourage effect.

The duration of cannabis effects depends on how it’s consumed:

• Smoking or vaping: Effects last 2-4 hours and begin almost immediately.
• Edibles: Effects start after 30 minutes to 2 hours and can last 6-8 hours.
• Tinctures or oils: Effects can last 4-6 hours.
  Always start with a small amount, especially if you’re new to cannabis.

To preserve the potency and freshness of cannabis, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid exposure to heat, light, or humidity, as these can degrade its quality. For best results, keep it out of reach of children and pets.
