What is that Smell?🌷

Traditionally, cannabis has been compared to the smell of skunk 👃Though this doesn't exactly sound appealing, who didn't love the little skunk, Flower, from Bambi 🌻🌼 Let's think about THAT kind of skunk 😉

Though the underlying aroma of cannabis does tend to be rather earthy, there is a whole lot more that goes into the science of what makes this plant smell so unique... and why that might be of interest to you. Terpenes are the fragrant oils that give cannabis it's aromatic diversity. These oils are secreted in the flower's sticky resin glands, the same ones that produce THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. These different scents and flavor profiles can cause different effects on the mind and the body. Think: Essential Oils.

Scents and flavors of mint or peppermint are known to be soothing. Citrus and fruit flavors tend to be uplifting and energetic. Earthy aromas tend to make us relaxed and thoughtful. When choosing a strain that is right for you, consider the following charts and talk to us here at NoVa Hemp. We have a variety of flower and cartridges that will meet whatever profile you are looking for.

Do THC Drinks Get You High? Effects, Potency, and How They Compare to Edibles

THC-infused beverages produce psychoactive effects similar to traditional cannabis, but they metabolize differently in the human body. Using nano-emulsion technology, these drinks bypass the liver's intensive breakdown process, allowing water-soluble THC to enter the bloodstream directly. This results in a faster onset time of 10 to 15 minutes and a shorter duration of two to four hours. Unlike solid edibles, which can cause heavy physical sedation and unpredictable delays, liquid THC delivers a lighter, cerebral high with precise dose control. Read on to explore the science behind THC beverages, their absorption pathways compared to solid edibles, and specific dosage guidelines to ensure a predictable and manageable experience.
