Cannabis 101: Newbies & Doobies

The times they are a-changing. It used to be so simple. You would want weed, any weed. You didn’t know what strain, whether it was sativa or indica, what the terpenes were or even what a terpene is. Maybe you just got a dime bag and hoped for the best? Carts or wax certainly didn’t exist. How could you make your own gummies? Was dabbing even a phrase? Well the good news is now it is, and it’s all legal. So whether you’re an old pro, or especially starting to enjoy cannabis again, this is a seminar for all to enjoy.
