Vaporizing—or vaping as it’s commonly known—refers to the process of heating dried cannabis flower or concentrates to a temperature below the combustion point (roughly 350°F to 440°F). This releases the desired cannabinoids and terpenes, but doesn’t create the harmful tar, carbon monoxide and other byproducts associated with combustion. Igniting cannabis in a joint or a pipe heats the material and smoke up to a high temperature, which can be harsh on the lungs (hence, the coughing). Vaping heats cannabis oil and flower at much lower temperatures, releasing the active ingredients into a fine va ..read more

The reason cannabis produces therapeutic and psychoactive effects in people is because our bodies are literally hardwired to react to cannabinoids, the active chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. The human endocannabinoid system (ECS), named after the cannabis plant, is a major molecular system that works to help maintain homeostasis—or balance—within the body. The ECS plays an important role in a number of physiological functions, both in the central and peripheral nervous systems and in peripheral organs. The ECS is actually found in all vertebrate species, and it includes three ..read more

Terpenes are the chemical calling cards of the natural world. They are the volatile organic molecules secreted by flowers that shout “visit me!” to bees buzzing in your garden, they are the carriers of the pitch-perfect fragrance you catch when hiking through a pine forest, they are the carriers of that concentrated scent you inhale when the budtender whips the lid off a container of cannabis at a dispensary, and when herbalists tout the power of aromatherapy through “essential oils” from herbs and plants, they’re talking terpenes. If there were such a thing as smell-o-vision, terpenes would ..read more

It’s tempting to think of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound in cannabis, as an herbal panacea. After all, it’s being touted as a potential treatment for asthma, obesity, drug addiction, acne, Alzheimer’s, migraines, PTSD and insomnia, just to name a few conditions. But research into CBD’s healthful properties has largely been stifled in the United States, until recently. So, much of the evidence is either historical (“Napoleon’s troops probably used it!”), anecdotal (“My aunt swears by it!”) or based on lab studies of animals (the rat was unavailable for comment). However, times ..read more

Why would an industry-leading cannabis brand known for its pure, potent THC concentrate products decide to branch into the CBD market? Frankly, although we’ve spent five years building our THC product line, it wasn’t a difficult decision to bring The Clear into the cannabidiol (CBD) marketplace.

But CBD products give us even more options and flexibility, and that’s what is fueling our expansion into America’s robust CBD market. First, clinical data on the positive ..read more

As of three months ago, the Marijuana Enforcement Division (M.E.D.) no longer provides regulation advice to cannabis growth and sales businesses. Prior to this change, the M.E.D. would answer questions from private cannabis growth and sales businesses. Now, however, the M.E.D. will only recite state statutes in response to inquiries from cannabis business professionals. Sam Fortune, an Evolutionz compliance expert, describes the issue at hand: “The M.E.D. will no longer discuss the answer to questions outside of the context of the statutes that are posed to them; instead they are only allowed ..read more

Plus, trends show that the cannabis market is an industry that is only becoming more saturated with companies. So, to cope with the competition, dispensaries are upping their advertising game. But what’s the best method of advertising? How are dispensaries attracting customers? Well, that answer lies in this question: How are cannabis buyers finding dispensaries? According to Marijuana Business Daily, cannabis customers (including both recreational and medicinal marijuana purchasers) are finding thei ..read more
