Cannabis Formats Explained
The same plant sold five different ways. The format changes how fast it works, how long it lasts, and how much it smells.
The five formats we carry
FlowerDried bud, sold by the gram. Fast onset, strong smell, the most flexible format.
Pre-rollsFlower ground and rolled for you. Same effects, no preparation.
EdiblesEaten rather than smoked. Onset of 45 to 120 minutes, effects lasting four to eight hours.
ConcentratesResin with the plant material stripped out. Much stronger by weight.
VapesHeated rather than burned. The most discreet format, with almost no lingering smell.
Format questions
Which cannabis format is best for beginners?
Flower or a low-dose edible are the usual starting points for beginners. Flower lets you feel the effects within minutes so it is easier to stop, while a 5mg edible is a small, controlled dose.
Why do edibles take so long to work?
Edibles take longer because they are digested and processed by the liver before reaching your bloodstream. Expect 45 to 120 minutes, and do not take more while waiting.
