THC is the most common intoxicating cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. This psychoactive compound helps produce the feeling of being “high”. If cannabis was a car, THC would be the gas. When activated THC is ingested (edibles, drinkables, oils, etc), it becomes a compound version of THC, called “Hydroxy-11-THC”. This is why the effects of edibles can feel stronger to some, last longer, and feel very heavy in the body compared to consuming via inhalation. CBD is known for being non-intoxicating. This cannabinoid can help facilitate a relaxing experience, typically without the associated “high” that comes with THC. It can encourage the release of our body’s own naturally occurring cannabinoids. Some research suggests that CBD interacts with THC and appears to reduce the psychoactive effects. This would suggest that CBD is like your seatbelt in the car we previously described.

At Flower Haze, we try our best to categorize and label strains with potential effects to help consumers make informed choices, but this is only speculation. We use our own personal experiences, feedback from Licensed Cannabis Producers and the Ontario Cannabis Store to help place each product into the most appropriate category. Click Here to learn what defines each mood category.

Terpenes or “terps” are fragrant oils found in cannabis that produce the unique smells and flavours in nearly all plants on earth. Some theorize that these oils can affect the “high” produced by different strains. According to this theory, terpenes would be almost like the steering wheel in the aforementioned THC/CBD car analogy.
