ACCESSORIES
These Items are used to administer, process or store medical cannabis products. These include the examples below, and have a multitude of these available in-store for you to pick up with your medicine!
Grinders
A grinder is a tool used to break down dried buds into smaller, more manageable pieces for consumption. These devices typically consist of one or more chambers with blades that shred the flower into small pieces, allowing for more even burning and more efficient use of the plant material.
Papers
They can vary in type (everything from flavored to rice to clear to hemp) and are the best option for rolling joints.
Vaporizers
These have many forms. Some are 510 thread batteries to pair with your cartridges. Others are used for on-the-go dry flower or concentrate consumption. It’s an alternative to smoking.
Jars
Available in a variety of sizes and materials like plastic, glass and metal. Use this to store your medicine and lean towards airtight ones to maintain the quality of your flower.
Pipes
AROMA
This is the smell that typically accompanies quality cannabis. Flower and concentrate vary in the type of smells thanks to terpenes (explained below).
Unfortunately, the pandemic prevents us from allowing you to follow your nose when selecting products. We offer the best medicine to our patients, so you can anticipate a robust, in-tact terpene profile once you’ve left our dispensary.
Butane Hash Oil (BHO)
Bud
An alternative name for “flower.” This is the flower of mature cannabis that contains cannabinoids.
Budtender / Dispensary Agent / Patient Care Associate
Frontline retail associates in our dispensary. They’re knowledgeable about cannabis and different products in our store. You’ll work with them 1-on-1 to determine the best products for your specific needs.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extraction
Cannabinoids
Active compounds in cannabis that can trigger a myriad of effects in our bodies. The most well-known cannabinoids are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). They’re both psychoactive with additional benefits to our bodies. Other potential therapeutic cannabinoids include cannabichromene (CBC), cannabigerol (CBG) and delta-8-THC. We talk about cannabinoids in our Cannabinoid Conversation series.
CONCENTRATES
Highly concentrated, potent purified cannabis extracted from its original form as flower. These products include:
Hash
Composed of resin from the resin glands of cannabis.
Shatter
Live Resin
Cannabis extracted from flash frozen flower and known for its freshness and retaining terpenes
Rosin
Melted hash oil made from flower, kief or hash that’s one of the purest forms of extracted cannabis
Badder/Batter/Budder
Similar to butter or cake batter in texture, it’s terpene-rich and comes from solvents or solventless rosin
Oil
Concentrated cannabis or hemp that contains large quantities of THC, CBD and other cannabinoids and terpenes
Kief
Powdery collection of trichomes from cannabis
Wax
Resin
Sticky residue that naturally secretes from resin glands in cannabis plant to deter pests. It also refers to the black, sticky residue in your pipes and other consumption tools after use.
FLAVENOIDS
Induces vibrant colors in plants like the blue/purple of blueberries or red in roses. In cannabis, this brings out colors like green, purple and orange. It also contributes to the unique flavors and smells of each strain, interacting with major cannabinoids like THC and CBD to create specific effects. On Fridays we premier new installments in our Flavonoid Fridays video series.
FLOWER
The term is often used in legal cannabis retail spaces to describe bloomed buds of a cannabis plant. It contains the largest concentration of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids.
Hemp
Cannabis that contains less than 0.3% THC, mandated by federal law. This species of cannabis is legal and comes in 2 different forms: ingestible and textile. CBD products outside of our medical cannabis program are made from ingestible hemp. That includes oil, gummies and body care products. Textile hemp can be used for construction and manufacturing products like rope, bricks, paper and may replace plastics in the coming years.
Eighth
Half
Ounce
Also 28 grams, this is the standard that eighths, halves and quarters are derived from.

Check out this series to better your experience and maximize desired effects.
Trichome
The crystal-like glands on cannabis flower that produce resin, cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. They exist in the hundreds.
