Ohio Marijuana Flower
Cannabis flower is the most traditional and popular form of marijuana, cherished for its natural and unprocessed state. It consists of the dried and cured buds of the cannabis plant, which can be used in various ways to suit individual preferences and consumption methods.
Indica Flower
Indica strains are known for their broad leaves and dense buds. These strains are typically grown in cooler climates and are recognized for their shorter flowering times. Indica plants are usually bushy and stocky, with thick stems and broad leaves.
Sativa Flower
Sativa strains are characterized by their tall and thin plants with narrow leaves. They thrive in warmer climates and have a longer flowering cycle compared to Indica strains. Sativa plants often grow to be quite tall, making them suitable for outdoor cultivation.
Hybrid Flower
Hybrid strains are a blend of Indica and Sativa genetics. These strains are bred to combine the desirable traits of both Indica and Sativa plants. Hybrids can vary widely, with some leaning more towards Indica characteristics and others towards Sativa.
How to Consume Cannabis Flower
In Ohio, cannabis consumption methods vary based on the program. Medical patients are required to use non-combustible vaporizers for consuming cannabis, ensuring a safer, smoke-free experience. Meanwhile, adult-use customers can enjoy cannabis through traditional methods like glassware, rolling papers, and other combustible options.
Vaporizers (Medical)
Vaporizers heat the cannabis flower to a temperature where the active compounds are released into vapor, which is then inhaled. They come in two main types: portable dry herb vaporizers and tabletop vaporizers. Popular brands include Pax, Storz & Bickel, and Arizer.
Vaporizer Types
Portable Dry Herb Vaporizers are compact and convenient for on-the-go use.
Tabletop Vaporizers are larger devices designed for home use, offering precise temperature control.
Adult-Use Program Options
Due to Ohio’s medical marijuana regulations, patients in the medical program must use non-combustible methods like vaporizers. While we currently do not carry these products below, we offer this information to help adult-use consumers understand different ways to enjoy cannabis flower.
Papers
Papers are a popular choice for rolling cannabis flower, offering versatility in size and material. Whether made from hemp, rice, or flax, these rolling papers provide a customizable experience for cannabis consumers.
Pipes
Pipes offer a simple and portable way to consume cannabis. They come in various materials, including glass, metal, and wood. Hand pipes are the most common, but there are also water pipes, known as bongs.
Papers
Bongs are water filtration devices that cool and filter the smoke, providing a smoother experience. Types are available in straight tube, beaker, and percolator bongs. Brands like GRAV and MAV are well known brands.
Types of Cannabis Flower
Buds (Loose Flower)
The most common form of cannabis flower, consisting of loose, unprocessed buds. These buds are typically rich in cannabinoids and terpenes, providing a full-spectrum experience. Loose flower is versatile and can be used in various consumption methods such as smoking, vaping, and making edibles.
Shake / Pre-Ground
Shake consists of smaller pieces of cannabis flower and trimmings that fall off during the packaging process. Shake retains potency and is a cost-effective option. It's commonly used for making edibles, filler, and convenient for those who have trouble grinding flower.
Popcorn / Smalls
These are smaller buds that form lower on the cannabis plant. They are a more affordable option and offer the same effects and benefits, making them popular among budget-conscious consumers.
Pre-Rolls (Adult Use Only, Not Yet Available)
Pre-rolls are ready-to-smoke joints made from ground cannabis flower. They offer convenience and ease of use, making them ideal for on-the-go consumption. Pre-rolls come in various strains and sizes, catering to different preferences and needs.
How to Store Cannabis Flower
Proper storage of cannabis flower is essential to maintaining its potency, flavor, and overall quality. Whether you're storing it for short-term use or a longer period, the right conditions can make a significant difference in your experience
Types of Containers
Mason jars, ceramic jars, and humidors are ideal for preserving cannabis freshness. We're big fans of transferring products from plastic to glass or ceramic containers.
Storage Tips
Keep cannabis in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency and flavor. Avoid exposure to light, heat, and moisture to prevent degradation.
Ohio Flower FAQ
Is marijuana a flower?
Yes, marijuana is commonly referred to as "flower" when discussing the dried and cured buds of the cannabis plant. These buds are harvested from female cannabis plants and are rich in cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. The term "flower" distinguishes this natural form of cannabis from other forms like concentrates, edibles, and tinctures.
Can you eat marijuana flower?
Yes, you can eat marijuana flower, but it needs to be decarboxylated first to activate the THC. Raw cannabis flower contains THCA, which is not psychoactive. Heating the flower through baking or cooking converts THCA to THC, which is psychoactive. Eating raw cannabis without decarboxylation will not produce the desired effects. Once decarboxylated, marijuana flower can be infused into oils, butter, or other food items.
How long does marijuana flower last?
For the best quality, it is recommended to consume cannabis flower within six months. Properly stored cannabis can last up to a year, but its potency and flavor may degrade over time. Glass mason jars and ceramic containers are our favorite ways to store marijuana flower.
