A: Indica strains typically produce relaxing, sedating effects — best for evening use, sleep and pain relief. Sativa strains are uplifting and energizing — best for daytime, creativity and focus. Hybrids combine both. See our full guide at districtwellnesscenter.com/education.

A: Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis (and many other plants) that influence flavor, scent, and potentially the effects of a given strain. Common cannabis terpenes include limonene (uplifting, citrus), myrcene (relaxing, earthy), pinene (alert, piney), linalool (calming, floral) and caryophyllene (spicy, anti-inflammatory).

A: The entourage effect describes how cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG) work synergistically with terpenes and flavonoids to produce a more balanced and effective experience than any compound alone. It's why full-spectrum cannabis products often feel more nuanced than isolated THC or CBD.

A: First-time edible users should start with 2.5–5mg THC and wait at least 90 minutes before taking more. Edibles can take 30–90 minutes to kick in and last 4–6 hours. Moderate users can start with 5–10mg; experienced users with 10–20mg. Never redose within 2 hours.
