Are You Ready to Master Cannabis Lingo? Explore Essential Terms Now

This glossary covers key cannabis-related terms that can help consumers better understand the cannabis industry, products, and their effects. Whether you're new to cannabis or looking to deepen your knowledge, these definitions offer clarity on common terms you might encounter.

Cannabis Basics: What is Cannabis?

Cannabis is a fascinating plant species that includes three main types: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Each of these species has unique characteristics and effects. The cannabis plant is a complex organism, rich in various compounds such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. These compounds contribute to the plant’s diverse range of effects and therapeutic benefits. Cannabis plants are cultivated for both medicinal and recreational purposes, and they can be consumed in multiple forms, including dried flower, extracts, and edibles. Whether you’re interested in the energizing effects of Cannabis sativa, the relaxing properties of Cannabis indica, or the unique traits of Cannabis ruderalis, there’s a cannabis plant to suit every need.

Cannabis Products: Cannabis Extracts

Cannabis extracts are highly potent products derived from the cannabis plant using various extraction methods, such as solvents or CO2. These extracts are concentrated forms of cannabis that can be used in several ways, including dabbing, vaporizing, or as ingredients in edibles and topicals. There are several types of cannabis extracts, each with its own texture and potency, including wax, shatter, oil, and crumble. These products are often favored for their high cannabinoid content and are commonly used for medicinal purposes, such as pain relief and anxiety management. Whether you’re looking for a powerful dabbing experience or a potent ingredient for your homemade edibles, cannabis extracts offer a versatile and effective option.

Compliments: The Power Move

There’s something oddly revolutionary about giving someone a compliment these days. Not the hollow, “Nice shirt, bro,” kind. I mean a real, unfiltered, bone-deep acknowledgment of something another human being is doing right. A small moment of connection that—let’s be honest—we’re all too stingy with.

And that’s a shame. Because in a world addicted to criticism and keyboard jockeys, the compliment is punk rock. It disrupts. It challenges cynicism. It rewires the way we see each other—and ourselves.

Moon Rock Weed: Out of This World

What is Moon Rock Weed?

Definition and Composition with Hash Oil

Marijuana moon rocks are a unique and highly potent cannabis product that combines multiple forms of cannabis into one extraordinary item. The creation process begins with high-quality cannabis buds, which are then coated in hash oil—a concentrated form of cannabis extract. This sticky, oil-covered bud is subsequently rolled in kief, a collection of resin glands found on cannabis flowers. The result is a product that boasts THC concentrations of 50% or higher, far surpassing the typical 15-30% found in standard cannabis strains. This combination of cannabis buds, hash oil, and kief makes moon rocks an exceptionally strong and sought-after product in the cannabis community.

History and Rise to Fame

The creation of marijuana moon rocks is credited to West Coast rapper Kurupt, who brought this potent product into the limelight in the mid-2010s through his brand, Kurupt’s Moonrock. Since their introduction, moon rocks have garnered a reputation as a premium cannabis product, often likened to the “champagne” of the marijuana world. Marijuana moon rocks stand as a symbol of both the uniqueness and evolution within the cannabis industry, representing not only high potency but also the creativity in cannabis culture. Their rise to fame has been fueled by their powerful effects and unique composition, making them a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts. The combination of celebrity endorsement and the product’s exceptional potency has solidified moon rocks’ status as a top-tier choice for those seeking an elevated cannabis experience.

Alcohol vs Marijuana: Alcohol Worse?

Turns out, your friend who swapped tequila shots for THC gummies might be on to something. A new poll has found that a majority of Americans now believe alcohol is more harmful to a person’s health than marijuana—and frankly, it’s about time. The severe health risks associated with alcohol use, including addiction, various diseases, and a high incidence of mortality, are becoming more widely recognized.

The survey, conducted by YouGov, asked over 1,000 U.S. adults to weigh in on which substance does more damage: good ol’ booze or that plant that’s still somehow federally illegal. The verdict? 64% of respondents said alcohol is more dangerous, compared to just 27% who pointed the finger at weed. The rest? They couldn’t decide or didn’t care enough to pick.
