Cannabis 101
Legality
Cannabis legalization is expanding worldwide. Since medical usage can be traced back thousands of years, it’s no surprise that modern trends toward legalization began with medical cannabis. Legalization of adult-use marijuana has followed as society’s understanding of cannabis law and regulation has matured. But important legal distinctions remain.
Adult Use
In Massachusetts, adult use (recreational) is allowed with the following restrictions, among others:
Users must be 21-years old or older
Can’t be consumed in public or on federal land
Individuals may possess a maximum of 1 oz. on their person and up to 10 oz. at home
Driving under the influence of marijuana is a crime
Please refer to the Massachusetts government website for more information:

These aromatic compounds are found in many plants, but are especially concentrated in cannabis. Though important for the aesthetic flavoring they bring to the cannabis experience, terpenes facilitate the absorption of cannabinoids in the blood stream and thus increase the plant’s healing potential.
Strains fall into three main categories.
Sativa
Sativa strains heighten energy, creativity and functionality, but can cause anxiety in some users.
Indica
These strains generally provide a sense of tranquility, which makes them ideal for relaxing and for bedtime.
Hybrid
A blend of sativa and indica families, these strains are typically broken into three subcategories: sativa-dominant, indica dominant and 50/50 hybrids. Countless numbers of hybrid strains have been developed through genetic cross breeding, with targeted effects varying in each case.
The amount of cannabis you consume directly affects the experience. Avoid taking too much. Start with low doses and allow time for them to take effect. Edibles are especially deceptive, often taking several hours before effects appear yet longer lasting in duration.
