What is a Terpene?

What is CBD vs THCV?
- CBD (Cannabidiol): A non-psychoactive compound known for calming and anti-inflammatory effects.
- THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin): Often boosts focus and suppresses appetite. It’s rare but gaining popularity in Albany-area dispensaries.
Do Edibles Expire?
Yes. Edibles have expiration dates like other food. Gummies can last months if sealed, while baked goods may spoil faster. Store them cool and dry.
What is Resin vs Rosin?
- Live Resin: A potent concentrate made using frozen cannabis and solvents. Strong flavor and effects.
- Rosin: Solventless and made with heat + pressure, preserving purity. Many Waterford cannabis connoisseurs prefer it for its clean taste.
