Cannabis FAQs

Recreational cannabis is currently not legal in Pennsylvania; only medical marijuana is permitted under state law. Efforts are underway at the state legislature to allow recreational cannabis in Pennsylvania. Tell lawmakers that Pennsylvania is ready for responsible adult-use regulation. For more information, visit ResponsiblePA.org. 

Medical patients in Pennsylvania are not permitted to grow cannabis for personal use; only licensed dispensaries and growers are authorized to cultivate cannabis for medical purposes.

The price of a gram of weed can vary depending on factors such as quality, location, and legality. On average, it can range from $10 to $20 per gram.

A quarter of weed typically refers to a quarter-ounce, which is equivalent to approximately 7 grams. The price can vary depending on quality and location but generally ranges from $50 to $100.

An ounce of weed is equivalent to approximately 28 grams. Prices vary widely depending on factors such as quality and location, but it can range from $150 to $400 or more.

Sativa, indica, and hybrid are three main categories of cannabis strains. Sativa strains are known for their energizing and uplifting effects, indica strains for their relaxing and sedating effects, and hybrid strains are a cross between sativa and indica, offering a blend of both effects. 

Wax weed, also known as cannabis wax or marijuana wax, is a highly concentrated form of cannabis extract with a wax-like consistency. It is produced through a process of extracting cannabinoids from the plant material using solvents. 

A weed dab refers to the act of inhaling vaporized cannabis concentrates, such as wax or oil, through a specialized device called a dab rig. 

Kief is a fine, powdery substance made up of the resinous trichomes found on cannabis flowers. It contains high concentrations of cannabinoids and is often collected using a grinder or sifter. 

Shake refers to the loose, fragmented pieces of cannabis flower that accumulate at the bottom of a bag or container. While it may be less visually appealing than intact buds, shake can still be used for smoking or making edibles.

Weed can lose potency or grow mold over time, but it does not necessarily expire in the same way that perishable foods do. Proper storage in a cool, dark, and airtight container can help maintain its quality for an extended period. 

The duration of a weed high can vary depending on factors like tolerance, strain potency, and method of consumption. Generally, the effects can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, with residual effects lingering for a few hours more. That’s why we always say, “Start low, go slow!”

Weed is not classified as a stimulant; rather, it’s categorized as a psychoactive substance due to its effects on mood, perception, and cognition. However, some sativa strains may produce stimulating effects, while others may have more relaxing or sedating properties.

While it is true modern cannabis contains higher levels of THC, it is important to note the drastic changes, improvements and agricultural advances that have been made specifically designed to improve the cannabis plant. How did we go from stereotypical “dirt” or “brick” weed made famous in the 60s, which contained roughly 1%-2% THC, to diverse strain libraries routinely reaching (and exceeding) 30% THC? The short answer is: Science. Cultivators began creating near perfect conditions for the plant to thrive and maintain high levels of THC throughout the various stages of flowering. In addition to closely monitored grow rooms (temperature, humidity, light value), growers have turned to fine-tuned genetics by crossbreeding successful strains to create new selections. The process of creating new strains was historically an underground operation unlike today where breeders celebrate their process publicly, and legally.

While the two “sister” plants have similar physical features and appearances, best growing practices vary quite significantly. Hemp (CBD) is traditionally grown outside in a field-like form, while many marijuana cultivators have taken their “farms” indoors, using carefully monitored environments designed for optimal grow results. There are, however, still a number of outdoor cannabis grows in locations where climate is appropriate to maintain THC-rich plants.
