Finding the Right Cannabis Flower for You

With so many methods to consume cannabis, it can be overwhelming to decide what the right marijuana product is for you. Kushmart, in Everett, is here to help you decide. Premium marijuana and CBD hemp flower strains offer a range of experiences, and the flower itself can be consumed through smoking or vaporizing. Explore the different types of marijuana flowers available in Everett.

What Are The Different Types of Flower?

This is a loaded question and gets a lot of heat when debated by plant lovers. The cannabis plant is commonly characterized as Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid, indicating the type of outcome you can expect. But this is considered an oversimplification of the plant’s properties and not the most accurate way to categorize strains. Each of us has a different response to cannabis, based on our body’s endocannabinoid system.

Kushmart Tip: Take note of your favorite flowers and farms, identifying the different strains, terpenes, and THC that work with your body’s unique chemistry. This helps your Kushmart budtender to identify new complementary cannabis flowers for you to check out during your next visit.

Cannabis Features to Know

Strains are the phenotypes, or variations of the cannabis plant, originating from different parts of the world and cross-bred for key features. Growers incorporate these original landrace strains, and often create variants of their own, leading to different versions of the same strain name. Not all Blue Dreams are alike.

Terpenes are responsible for the aroma and flavors of cannabis and influence its effects by intensifying or downplaying the effects of cannabinoids. The cannabis plant has over 100 terpenes in a variety of combinations across different strains. Terpenes are studied for their unique properties, as well as potential synergistic effects when combined with cannabinoids and other terpenes.

THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, is the cannabinoid responsible for the psychoactive outcomes in cannabis.

CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. It doesn’t have a strong effect on cognitive activity and doesn’t cause the “high” associated with THC. CBD has become increasingly popular for its soothing properties.

Other beneficial cannabinoids include CBG and CBN, plus over one hundred more cannabinoids working to enhance your experience. This collaboration in cannabinoids is considered to be the “entourage effect” – the direct benefit of consuming full flower. Variations in cannabinoid levels result in the plant’s unique effect on you.
