Strain types
Indica, sativa, hybrid — the three labels you'll see on every shelf. We break down what each really means, how much of it is marketing, and how to read terpene profiles instead.
Browse strainsTerpenes & the entourage effect
Why one sativa puts you to sleep and another wakes you up. A short guide to the seven terpenes that matter most — limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, terpinolene, and humulene.
How to dose
Start low, go slow — but what does that actually mean? Per-format dosing math for flower, vapes, edibles, and tinctures. Includes a microdose primer for daytime users.
Consumption formats
Flower vs. vape vs. edible vs. tincture vs. topical. Onset times, duration, discretion, and which format fits which moment.
Edibles 101
Why edibles hit different. How your liver converts THC to 11-hydroxy-THC, why timing matters, and how to safely titrate from 2.5 mg to a full session dose.
Concentrates explained
Live resin, live rosin, hash rosin, distillate, sauce, badder, budder. What each is, how each is made, and which one's worth the markup for what you're after.
Cannabis & wellness
Sleep, anxiety, pain, appetite, focus. The non-medical use cases the plant is most commonly used for in NY, and the formats we'd point you toward for each.
NY cannabis law
Adult-use legality, possession limits (3 oz flower / 24 g concentrate), where you can consume, where you can't, and how to verify any licensed operator via the OCM.
Our take
You shouldn’t need to translate a menu to know what you’re buying. Our shelves are organized by effect and onset as much as by category — and our buyers can talk through any SKU in human English. If you’re ever confused, that’s our fault, not yours.
The content above is written by the same people who curate the menu, not a freelance marketing team. We’ll update it as formulations and the science move, and we’ll always cite the studies we’re leaning on.
