When you step inside Mapleglen Care Center and browse our dried flower, ready-to-spark pre-rolls, vapes & cartridges, edibles, beverages, tinctures, topicals, and concentrates, you’ll notice the majority are classified as indicas, sativas, or hybrids. Although the label is technically more about the origin of the plant, the purpose is to provide insight into possible effects. Indicas are associated with sedating, relaxing, and whole-body effects while sativas are linked to cerebral, uplifting, and energizing effects. Hybrids can be indica-dominant, sativa-dominant, or an equal balance of the two.

What are THC and CBD?

Mapleglen Care Center encourages our customers to pay attention to the chemical profile of the strain. THC and CBD are the two most well-known naturally occurring cannabinoids but there are believed to be more than 100 produced by the plant. THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects and is used in the treatment of a long list of medical conditions, such as Epilepsy, Crohn’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Glaucoma, and more. CBD is non-intoxicating and gaining notoriety as a treatment for chronic pain, inflammation, insomnia, acne, and more.

Terpenes are the reason for the unusual aromas and flavors of the various cannabis strains. There are more than 150 cannabis terpenes that are believed to contribute to the effects. When the compounds of the cannabis plant, including THC, CBD, and terpenes work together rather than separately, they have been shown to be more beneficial. This is called the Entourage Effect.
