The cannabis community is very creative in coming up with names. The most striking and confusing names are often the names of weed strains. But also cannabis concentrates, consumption methods and the latest canna products can often use some explanation. So scroll through this list and brush up your weed terminology.
BONG
A bong is a water pipe. It’s usually made of glass and uses water to diffuse and cool the smoke before inhalation.
BUBBLER
A bubbler is a small pipe which you can hold in your hand. A bubbler is normally made of glass and has a water reservoir to cool the smoke before it’s inhaled.
EDIBLES
Edibles are food products (ranging from candies to baked goods) that are infused with cannabis extracts.
EDIBLE OIL
Cannabinoid and terpene infused canola, sunflower or coconut oils. Usually packaged in a bottle with a dropper for measuring a serving.
ENDOCANNABINOID
Endocannabinoids are naturally produced chemical compounds that interact with receptors in the the human body.
BUD
Bud means the flower of the cannabis plant.
ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM (ECS)
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a complex system in the human body that consists of chemicals. These chemicals are produced by the brain and chemical receptors throughout the body. When these two interact with each other, they influence physiological functions and reactions.
TRICHOMES
Trichomes are the little resin glands (or crystals) that you can find on the surface of the cannabis bud. These tiny trichomes encase all the compounds that make the marijuana plant unique. And therefore trichomes are the most wanted parts in the production of cannabis products.
TOPICAL
Topicals is the term for cannabis-infused lotions, CBD creams, CBD oils and CBD balms that are applied to and absorbed through the skin.
EXTRACT
Extracts are cannabis oils that are created when the plant’s chemical compounds are removed through different processes. The oil can be used to make candies, baked goods, balms, lotions, vape liquids, etcetera.
INDICA
The Indica strain is known for having a physically sedating effect on the body. Indica plants look like short, stocky plants with broad leaves. It’s originated in India (although recent research shows it may have actually originated in Afghanistan).
KIEF
Kief, or pollen, or crystals, are the resin glands that have fallen off from the buds and leaves of the weed plant. Kief may also be sifted manually. Kief can be compressed into blocks of hash or sprinkled on dried flower for smoking.
CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS
Chemical compounds are molecular substances that produce the smell, taste, and effects that people experience when they consume cannabis. Cannabinoids and terpenes are the most well-known chemical compounds in cannabis.
PHENOTYPE
The observable characteristics (size, shape, colour, branching, and bud density) of all living things.
