At HYRBA, we like to keep our valued adult-use customers and medicinal cannabis patients informed about how cannabis works, different methods of consumption, and what to expect during your first-time visit. You’ll find that cannabis actually contains over 100 different compounds that are known as cannabinoids. The most popular ones are THC and CBD. THC is responsible for the ‘high’ feeling after consuming cannabis. THC basically interacts with the brain to release dopamine which gives you feelings of bliss, happiness, and relaxation. CBD helps to manage pain and reduce anxiety without giving you the feeling of being ‘high.’

If You Have Questions About Cannabis, We Can Help

There are many different methods to consider which include smoking, vaping, ingesting, applying topically, or applying sublingually (under the tongue). Smoking is one of the preferred methods which involves inhaling cannabis smoke from a joint, bong, or pipe. Vaping involves heating up cannabis oil or flower to create vapor that is inhaled. You can achieve this with a vape pen and cartridge, vaporizer designed for flower, or a dab rig which you use a torch to heat up a nail that contains your dab of cannabis concentrate. Edibles include many types of baked goods, sweets, and beverages that are infused with cannabis oil. This method is great for those who don’t prefer to smoke or vape, and the effects last for hours. Topicals come in creams, salves, and balms which can be applied directly to the skin to soothe pain, inflammation, and muscle soreness. Tinctures can be applied under the tongue which allows for a quick onset to feel your desired effects.
