How Cannabis Affects Your Brain

Cannabis has a complex interaction with the brain, influencing everything from mood and perception to memory and coordination. At the heart of this process are compounds known as cannabinoids, which interact with specific receptors in the brain to produce various effects. Plants from the genus Cannabis contain numerous cannabinoids, with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) being the most widely studied. These cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids that play a crucial role in maintaining the body’s balance, or homeostasis. The ECS regulates functions like mood, appetite, pain, and memory, and cannabinoids mimic these functions, leading to a range of effects. 

THC: Known for its psychoactive properties, THC is responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis. When THC compounds bind to CB1 receptors in the brain, they alter the release of neurotransmitters, leading to changes in perception, mood, and even cognition.

CBD: While not a psychoactive compound, CBD interacts with different receptors, producing potential calming and anti-inflammatory effects. CBD is thought to balance some of THC’s more intense effects, making it a popular choice for users seeking therapeutic benefits without feeling “high.”

Cannabis flower offers an unparalleled experience compared to other marijuana consumption methods. The wide variety means there’s something for everyone, whether you want to relax with an Indica strain, get creative with Sativa, or relieve discomfort with CBD products. In addition, inhaling cannabis flower provides nearly immediate effects, making it an excellent choice for those seeking quick relief or relaxation.

A Closer Look at Cannabis Types

Cannabis is a diverse plant with different strains, each offering unique effects and potential benefits. The main types of cannabis are Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid. Each type has distinctive characteristics in terms of appearance, effects, and preferred uses.

Sativa Flower

Sativa strains are known for their energizing, uplifting effects, which make them a popular choice for daytime use. This strain often produces a “head high,” which can stimulate creativity, increase focus, and boost mood. Sativa compounds are often favored by those looking to alleviate symptoms related to stress, depression, and fatigue without the sedative effects associated with other strains.

Indica Flower

Known for their calming and relaxing effects, Indica strains are often referred to as causing “body highs.” This strain type is popular for evening or nighttime use because it can promote sleep and relaxation. Indica products are also a popular subject in the world of medicinal marijuana, as some researchers have found that certain Indica-strain cannabinoids can aid with pain relief, muscle relaxation, and insomnia.

Hybrid Flower

“Hybrid” cannabis strains are a cross between Sativa and Indica plants, and they are cultivated to blend the best qualities of each form. Hybrid cannabis strains are often custom-bred to target specific effects, allowing cultivators to create varieties with balanced effects or favoring particular characteristics based on a specific Indica and Sativa combination. Hybrid flowers provide a mix of mental clarity and physical relaxation, making them versatile for different preferences and times of day.

Ways to Enjoy Cannabis Flower

Whether you’re new to THC or you’re a cannabis connoisseur, there are many ways to consume flower. Here are a few ways to enjoy our cannabis flower in Trenton, NJ:

Smoking a Joint or Blunt

Rolling cannabis into a joint (using rolling paper) or a blunt (using tobacco leaf or cigar wrap) is a classic form of cannabis consumption that dates back hundreds of years. Just grind the flower using a cannabis grinder, roll it up, light it, and smoke it — or browse our selection of pre-rolls for a convenient, no-prep experience!

Using a Pipe

Pipes make it easy to enjoy a quick hit of cannabis. Simply pack ground cannabis into the bowl, light it, and inhale through the mouthpiece. Pipes come in many shapes, sizes, and materials like glass, metal, or wood.

Smoking a Bong or Bubbler

Bongs and bubblers filter smoke through water, offering a smoother approach to cannabis use. Fill the bong or bubbler with water, pack the bowl with cannabis flower, light it, and inhale the smoke through the mouthpiece. 

Using a Dry Herb Vaporizer (Vape)

Cannabis flower vaporizers (which are specifically called dry herb vapes), heat cannabis at lower temperatures than smoking, turning the THC and CBD compounds into vapor instead of smoke. Some people prefer vapes to bongs, pipes, or joints because this form of consumption produces less odor and can feel less harsh on the lungs. 

However, don’t just grab any vape sold at our dispensary and assume it will work with your marijuana flower. Vapes are commonly designed for concentrates (powerful extracts) or specific cannabis oils rather than flower, so do your research before making a purchase. If you’re near Trenton, you can also stop by and ask our team to recommend products to use with your flower or other cannabinoids.

Adding to Food

Cannabis flower can be used to make THC-infused butter or oils, which can be added to foods like brownies or gummies. However, since edible cannabis products take longer to take effect and this form can be more potent, it’s best to start with small doses. Our dispensary can recommend products and flavors that might suit your taste.

How Cannabis Plants Turn Into Flower

Curious about how the humble cannabis plant turns into flower? Here’s a little peek into plant science:

Cannabis Plant Seeds or Clones

Marijuana growers typically start with seeds or clones (cuttings from mature female plants) to create new plants. These seedlings will grow into full flowering plants over a few months.

The Vegetative Stage (Leafy Growth)

In this stage, the cannabis plants are given long hours of light and plenty of nutrients. The plants slowly grow taller, developing strong leaves and stems to support future buds. This stage lasts several weeks.

Flowering Plants (Bud Formation)

Growers adjust lighting or let natural light change to mimic shorter days, which signals the female plants to start flowering. This is when the female plant can begin producing the sticky buds (cannabis flowers) that are eventually harvested.

Bud Development and Trichome Growth

As the cannabis flowers continue to grow, the plant buds swell and become covered with tiny, crystal-like trichomes. These trichomes contain cannabinoids (like THC and CBD) and terpenes, which are responsible for cannabis’s effects, flavors, and distinctive aromas.

Bud Harvest

Once the cannabis flowers reach peak maturity, indicated by the color and density of trichomes, it’s time to harvest them. While different methods are typically found throughout the agriculture industry, many experts harvest their cannabis plants by carefully cutting off the branches holding the flowers.

Drying the Buds

The harvested female plants are hung in a controlled, dark space for several days to dry. This reduces moisture, preserves the potency of the chemicals, and prepares the cannabis flower for longer storage.

Curing for Quality

After drying, buds are placed in sealed containers, allowing them to cure slowly. Cannabis flower producers periodically open these containers to release moisture and preserve the flavor and aroma of the plant.

Use or Sale

Finally, the flower is either processed into other cannabis products like oils or extracts, or sold on its own to dispensaries for recreational and medical purposes, including our very own local dispensary in Trenton, NJ!

Frequently Asked Questions About Cannabis Flower

We hear a lot of questions about our cannabis flower in Trenton, NJ, and some are more common than others. Here are some cannabis flower FAQs for your perusal:

Is “flower” the same thing as “bud?”

Yes — in cannabis terminology, “flower” and “bud” refer to the same part of the plant. “Flower” specifically refers to the consumable part of the cannabis plant that contains high concentrations of cannabinoids, like THC and CBD.

Do you need a medical card to buy cannabis products at Moja Life?

No, a medical card is not required to buy cannabis products at Moja Life. New Jersey’s cannabis laws allow adults to purchase cannabis products from licensed dispensaries without medical authorization. Since Moja Life is located right here in Mercer County, you just need to be at least 21 years old and have a valid ID to buy cannabis flower in Trenton, NJ.

What’s the difference between flower and shake?

Since both flower and shake come from the same cannabis plant, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably within the cannabis industry. However, these products do have some distinct differences:

• Flower refers to the dense, trimmed cannabis buds collected when growers harvest the mature female plant. Flower is often considered the highest-quality form of the cannabis plant and offers a more potent experience. 
• Shake commonly refers to small bits and pieces of flowers that fall off over time, often collected at the bottom of storage containers or bags. Shake is often less potent than whole buds, although can be used in the same ways as flower to achieve the intended effects.

What’s the best way to store weed flower?

Proper storage of cannabis flower is essential to maintain its potency and flavor. Here are some tips we recommend to keep your cannabis flower in Trenton, NJ, at peak freshness:

• Use an Airtight Container: Store your weed flower in an airtight glass jar to protect it from air exposure, which can degrade cannabinoids. It may be helpful to record the date you purchased the product, since age can also affect the way that trichomes and terpenes work.
• Keep It in a Cool, Dark Place: Light and heat can also break down cannabinoids, so store your weed flower in a cool, dark area like a cupboard.
• Avoid Moisture: Too much humidity can lead to mold, while too little can dry out your flower. Always store cannabis in a controlled environment to maintain freshness.
• Skip the Plastic Bags: Plastic can generate static electricity, which can strip away trichomes (the part of the flower rich in cannabinoids and terpenes). Glass jars are a better option for long-term storage of cannabis buds.
•  

Can you use marijuana flower to make your own edibles?

Yes, cannabis flower can be used to make edibles, but there are some key steps involved. First, raw cannabis flower needs to go through decarboxylation, a process that activates the THC and CBD chemicals in marijuana. This can be done by heating the flower in an oven at a low temperature for a certain period. Infusion is the next step, where you can infuse the activated cannabis into compounds like butter and oil (sometimes referred to as “cannabutter” and “cannabidiol”). The THC and CBD extracts derived from this process can then be incorporated into various food products.

The decarboxylation process can result in high levels of THC, and it can be difficult to measure chemical composition without the proper tools and techniques. If you intend on adding cannabis butter or oil to food, it’s essential to measure dosage carefully and start with small amounts — or save your flower to smoke and pick up some pre-made edibles or tinctures at our recreational cannabis dispensary instead!
