- Tinctures (liquid extracts taken sublingually)
- Topicals (creams, balms applied to skin)
Legal Age for Purchasing Cannabis
- The legal age for purchasing cannabis varies by location; check local regulations for specific age requirements.
Gauging Tolerance

Terpenes and Flavor Effects
- Terpenes contribute to the aroma and flavor profiles in cannabis, influencing the overall experience and therapeutic effects.
Potential Side Effects of Cannabis
