Growing Marijuana
The palmate of cannabis plants is made up of serrated leaflets. These leaves are easy to recognize from
popular art. They are easy to identify from popular art, even though many plants have similar leaves.
There are many varieties of marijuana plants. They can also vary in appearance.
Indica plants have larger, heavier buds during flowering, and smaller, wider leaves. This plant can be
found in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Sativa another type of plant that produces narrow, long-shaped flowers. They have thin, short leaves. In
hot, dry climates, they can reach 12 feet.
Hybrids plants are those that have been hybridized from Indica or Sativa. They can be grown in
greenhouses or on farms. Their exact appearance will depend on the specific plant that gave them their
name.
Hemp Although it looks the same as other cannabis plants. Hemp tends to have smaller leaves, and less
branching. It can grow up to a metre tall. Hemp is still considered marijuana. However, it contains 0.3% or
less. THC is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants.
Marijuana Bud
The is the dried flower of a female cannabis plant. It is what you inhale. Buds must be dried and cured
before they can be smoked. THC-like crystals are also visible, which are called trichomes. They are more
expensive because the THC content of marijuana buds is higher that other parts of the plant. High-quality
marijuana buds have been developed by breeding the cannabis plant. This makes the marijuana plant
more potent than other “weed” available on the streets.
Ground Marijuana
It is then dried and chopped to make marijuana readily available for sale. The stems are usually removed.
Dried marijuana is often ground into smaller pieces before it can be smoked. This helps ensure that all
parts of the marijuana burn evenly. Inhale the cannabinoids and terpenes that are produced by grinding.
Most dispensaries do not pre-grind cannabis before selling it. The grinding of cannabis before it is sold
can decrease its potency and freshness. This is why many people grind their marijuana before using it. A
blunt is a mixture of marijuana and tobacco that is rolled in a cigar. Some people prefer to use a bong or
pipe because it is easier and more pleasant. No matter how blunt or round-shaped a joint is, smoking can
cause damage to your lungs. Smoking can cause lung damage and increase your risk of developing
cancer and other respiratory diseases.
Researchers discovered that blunts have twice the amount of marijuana as a pipe or joint. According to a
study, blunt-smokers have more severe withdrawal symptoms when they begin treatment for their
cannabis addiction disorder.

brownies are a great way to consume marijuana. Decarboxylation is the process that allows you to add
activated cannabis compounds to edibles. This involves heating cannabis compounds to change their
chemical structure. This is what makes cannabis psychoactive. Next, heat the decarboxylated marijuana
to make it oily. Next, add the infused oil to make an edible product. Overconsumption can cause cognitive
impairments, motor impairments, anxiety, vomiting, and even sedation.
Advantages This prevents you from smoking cannabis, and can have a more lasting effect.
ConsIt takes cannabis longer to be metabolized. This makes it easier to accidentally consume too much.
Concentrates

and pressure/heat. Once produced, a concentrate can appear as a liquid wax or soft solid. The most
popular method to consume cannabis concentrates, is by dabbing.

and easy to use.
Cons- The price of concentrates is generally higher than other forms of marijuana. Side effects like
anxiety and hallucinations may be dangerous. Concentrating concentrates can be dangerous, especially
if they are combustibles.
Distillate
Distillate is a golden, runny oil that is obtained by distilling cannabis resin. It removes any unwanted
substances and extracts the desired cannabinoid compounds. These oils can be used in vape carts, but
they can also be used to make topicals and edibles.
Rick Simpson Oil
Rick Simpson oil (RSO), one type of distillate, is named after its creator. This oil contains higher levels of
THC and is thought to have many health benefits including the treatment of skin conditions like asthma,

inflammation, and depression.
Although research has shown CBD and THC extracts are safe to use in combination with radiation
therapy, more research is needed.
Advantages:Distillates may contain high levels cannabis compounds because of the way they were
made. Some prefer a milder taste and aroma.
Cons- These distillates are a form cannabis isolate. They do not contain other cannabinoids that can
cause the entourage effect. Combining cannabis compounds can have greater benefits than if they are
taken individually.
