Seed & Stone is a licensed cannabis retailer proudly serving locations in British Columbia. Here are some answers to common questions we have received. If you require additional information, please contact us for further assistance or visit one of our locations.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there has never been a death resulting only from cannabis use. You cannot overdose from cannabis the same way you could with harsh drugs. However it is possible to have a “bad trip”, which is a frightening and/or unpleasant experience with a psychoactive drug.
The fact that no one has overdosed on marijuana does not mean that you cannot overdo it and have a bad reaction. It is important to stay safe and make good decisions when taking marijuana, as it still remains a drug. If you are consuming cannabis for the first time, consult one of our employees to be directed towards a safe amount of cannabis intake for your body size. One bad reaction can scare you away from marijuana and all of the benefits that come with the plant!
In North America, cannabis usage has become a lot more accepted over the past decade since its legalization in Colorado in 2012. The benefits of the plant continue to be argued by doctors, amateurs, homeopaths and many more, and we have learned that cannabis can treat many diseases and relieve some patients.
The main determinant that separates cannabis users is the intake of smoke.
We do not suggest the usage of cannabis through pre-rolls or joints if the client has any lung problems. Vaporizers are less harmful for the lung and could be a good option, but it is up to the users to decide whether they want to smoke or would prefer smokeless options.
If you do not want to smoke, we suggest that you try the following options offered at Seed & Stone:
These two options are ingested orally, meaning they need to pass through the body and reach the liver to finally get into the bloodstream. Only then will the THC and/or CBD start to take effect. Users of edibles and tinctures must be patient and wait between 30 minutes and 1 hour to see if they feel anything before they take more cannabis. It is not uncommon for people that try oral marijuana for the first time to have a bad experience simply because they take too much.
It is possible for all cannabis users to go overboard and intake too much cannabis. This is not dangerous, however, if you do start to feel the uncomfortable side effect of paranoia, this probably means that you have taken too much. It is important for marijuana users to understand that being paranoid is not a normal side effect of cannabis consumption and to lower dosages if this feeling reoccurs.
Sativa and indica are used to describe the respective THC and CBD levels in cannabis flowers. Sativa strains of marijuana are almost solely composed of THC, THC is so dominant in sativa that sometimes there’s only a marginal level of CBD. In opposition, indica marijuana strains contain more CBD, which offers more physical benefits such as muscle relaxation. All marijuana strains have specific properties and benefits, and with the growing popularity and availability of hybrid strains, the possibilities are endless.
THC and CBD are the two natural compounds that are found in cannabis.
In Canada, citizens are allowed to grow 4 cannabis plants per household. It is important to understand that it is not per person! Visit your provincial government website to know more about different restrictions that may pertain to your province.
It is suggested that before starting a garden in your household, you should read up on the impact a plant may have on your household. Cannabis plants have a very potent smell and this smell could fill up a whole apartment building. A marijuana plant indoors can also be irritating to the eyes of some occupants. We suggest that you sprout your seeds indoors under supervision and eventually transfer the cannabis plant outdoors where it will not be a nuisance.
Canadian law stipulates that adults of 18 years of age and older can legally possess a 30-day supply of dry cannabis, or its equivalent in cannabis products such as edibles, vaporizers, tinctures, etc. However, provinces are free to raise the minimum age, with the majority raising it to 19 and Quebec raising it to 21.
The Canadian Federal Government has clear definitions of the equivalent amounts of cannabis products for a gram of dried cannabis.
Under the federal Cannabis Act, one gram of dried cannabis is equivalent to:
As of October 17th 2018, weed was made legal in Canada. Weed is legal in all provinces and territories of Canada for adult citizens. Ages differ in different provinces. We suggest that you visit your province’s government website to make sure that you are of legal age to buy weed online.
Long believed to be the devil’s plant, many ancient communities used various marijuana strains in their medicine to decrease pain and help the healing process. Only recently did officials agree on all the benefits the plant can bring to people.
