Frequently Asked Questions

Exotic focuses on special genetics and standout terp profiles, while Indoor highlights controlled-environment flower with consistent quality. Private Reserve sits above both as the tier for our best overall lots. Think of Exotic and Indoor as strong performers, and Private Reserve as the curated shortlist of strains that rise to the absolute top.

Private Reserve focuses on flagship potency and structure from non infused flower. Exotic focuses on rare genetics and loud terp profiles. Specialty THCa flower is reserved for infused or enhanced SKUs, such as Snow Caps, that clearly outpace regular flower in strength and visual frost.

Regular CBD flower is bred to be rich in CBD with very low THCA and minimal intoxicating effect. THCA flower is bred the other way. It is rich in THCA and designed to convert to Delta 9 THC when heated. This creates a much stronger, more traditional cannabis experience than CBD flower. Our catalog focuses on higher THCA cultivars with distinct terpene profiles, strain families, and visual grades, so you can merchandise them more like legacy dispensary flower than standard CBD buds.

Answer
Hybrid THCa, once heated, follows the same general window: a strong 1 to 2 hour peak followed by 1 to 3 hours of gentler after-effects, depending on dose, tolerance, and the strain’s lean. Indica-leaning Hybrids may feel heavier toward the back half of the experience, while Sativa-leaning Hybrids may keep customers mentally active a bit longer.

From a retail perspective, it helps to set expectations: Hybrids are still potent THC products after activation, so customers should plan their sessions around work, driving, and next-day commitments.

Answer
Once heated, Indica THCa converts to THC and the timeline looks similar to traditional cannabis. Most customers feel peak effects for 1 to 2 hours, with a softer after-glow that can last another 1 to 3 hours depending on dose and tolerance.

The heavier the Indica, the more likely customers are to feel lingering drowsiness. Train your budtenders to remind shoppers to start low, go slow, and avoid operating vehicles or machinery. For stores, it helps to set expectations clearly: strong Indica strains are not ideal when someone still has a long to-do list.

Answer
Once heated, Sativa THCa converts to THC, and the time curve is similar to other flower. Most customers feel noticeable effects for 1 to 2 hours, with tapering after-effects for another couple of hours. Because Sativas are more stimulating, customers may feel mentally “on” a bit longer, especially at higher doses.

Advise shoppers to plan their timing: strong Sativa strains taken too late in the evening can make it harder to settle down, even after the main effects fade.
