THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is just one of many cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBN, CBG, etc.) found in the cannabis plant. THC is most widely known for being the primary cannabinoid in marijuana products that produces a psychoactive effect. In other words, THC is the cannabinoid that gets you high.

Onset: 15-30 Minutes Peak Effect: 35-50 Minutes Duration: 2-7 Hours Tinctures, lozenges, mints, and various infused edibles can be absorbed under the tongue, or sublingually. Sublinguals have a mid-ranged onset period, usually between 15–30 minutes, and often have a similar duration as edibles. This way of consuming cannabis allows some compounds to enter the bloodstream that might otherwise be broken down by digestive processes, which provides different effects that onset more quickly. The effects will also vary based on your individual tolerance. It is recommended that you begin by consuming 2.5 to 5mg and wait for the proper onset time before ingesting any more cannabis.

Onset: 30-120 Minutes Peak Effect: 1-5 Hours Duration: 3-8 Hours Infused edibles have a longer onset period, usually between 30–120 minutes, because they have to go through your digestive system before kicking in. The effects from edibles also last longer with some lasting up to 8 hours for some consumers. Infused beverages are reported to have a faster onset period than edibles with a similar duration, as do “nano” edibles which are growing in popularity. These types of edibles use nano-emulsion technology to help your body absorb the THC faster, producing a much quicker onset time and removing a lot of the guesswork for edibles newbies. Regardless of the type of edible, its effects will vary based on the food or drinks you have consumed prior to ingesting an infused edible or beverage, as well as your individual tolerance, metabolism and body fat content. If you are using ingestion as a way to consume cannabis, it is recommended that you begin with a low cannabis dosage, consume 2.5 to 5mg and wait for the proper onset time before ingesting more.

Onset: 1–5 Minutes Peak Effect: 5–15 Minutes Duration: 1–4 Hours This is recommended for first-time cannabis consumers because the effects will onset immediately after exhaling. Smoking or vaporizing cannabis has the fastest onset time compared to other ways to consume cannabis, such as ingestion or sublingual methods. Start by taking one hit from a vaporizer or from a pipe if using combustion. Slowly inhale, taking a somewhat deep breath in, then exhale. Inhalation can be done using either combustion or vaporization of raw cannabis. Combustion refers to cannabis that is smoked using an open flame to burn the cannabis and activate the THCa by converting it to THC, like smoking from a bowl or glass pipe. Vaporization refers to cannabis that is heated to the necessary temperature to decarboxylate the THCa and convert it to THC, like smoking from a “weed pen” (usually a 510 vape cartridge). Each time you inhale, approximately 2–5mg of THC is consumed per inhalation, but this will vary based on the strain, potency, and the device that’s being used to consume which can also make it hard to precisely dose. Start by taking a puff or two and waiting 10-15 minutes before consuming more. Remember – start low and go slow!

Once you decide which cannabis products you’ll be taking home, your Budtender will pick your order and complete the transaction with you. If you’d prefer not to work with a Budtender, you can place your order online ahead of time. If you’ve placed an online order, it will be ready and waiting for you, but you can also still ask questions and make changes to your order if needed. Unfortunately, dispensaries are unable to accept credit cards, so don’t forget your debit card (we have an ATM on site) or cash.

Simply entering a dispensary for the first time can be an intimidating experience. At Green Gold Group, we strive to make you feel welcome as soon as you pull into our parking lot. Once you step inside our reception area, you’ll need to show us a valid state or government-issued photo ID – AKA a driver’s license, identification card, or passport. There are no exceptions as this is not just a dispensary rule, but a requirement given by the government. One of our friendly staff members will verify your ID(s) and buzz you into the sales floor to either pick up your online order, or place an order with a Budtender.
