If you’ve ever walked into a cannabis retail shop and felt overwhelmed by unfamiliar terms, you’re not alone. Between technical names, potency percentages, and a growing list of formats, shopping for recreational cannabis can feel like decoding a secret language.
But here’s the good news: understanding cannabis categories doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re visiting a Kelowna cannabis dispensary for the first time or browsing online from home, a little knowledge goes a long way toward making your shopping experience clear, confident, and tailored to your needs.
Let’s break it down—minus the jargon.
Flower: The Classic Starting Point
Cannabis flower is where most consumers begin. This is the dried, smokable bud of the plant, and it’s typically labeled by strain (like “Dessert” or “CBD Runtz”) and categorized as sativa, indica, or hybrid.
More importantly, you’ll notice THC and CBD percentages—these tell you how strong the flower is. A higher THC content often means a more euphoric or cerebral high, while CBD-rich flower offers a gentler, body-focused experience. Don’t let numbers intimidate you—some people prefer 15% THC over 25%, depending on how they want to feel.
At boutique shops like Eggs Canna, you’ll find a carefully curated flower menu designed to support everything from creativity to calm.
Pre-Rolls: Convenience in a Cone
Pre-rolls are exactly what they sound like—pre-rolled joints made from premium flower. They’re great for beginners or anyone who doesn’t want to roll their own. Labels will often list the strain name and potency, just like regular flower.
Some pre-rolls are infused, meaning they’re enhanced with concentrates like hash or kief for added intensity. At Eggs Canna, options like Pink Kush Pre-Rolls offer a smooth, stress-relieving experience in a ready-to-enjoy format.
THC Edibles: A Delicious Alternative
THC edibles are a favorite among those who prefer not to smoke. These include gummies, chocolates, drinks, and baked goods infused with cannabis. One key tip: start low and go slow. Edibles take longer to kick in—anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours—but the effects tend to last longer and feel deeper in the body.
Many also enjoy CBD products in edible form, like balanced 1:1 gummies or calming CBN blends. Whether you’re winding down for sleep or looking to ease anxiety, Eggs Canna carries thoughtfully selected edibles in a range of strengths and flavors.
Vapes: Potency Meets Discretion
Cannabis vapes deliver cannabinoids quickly and without combustion. Cartridges are filled with concentrated cannabis oil, often blended with flavorful terpenes. They’re ideal for consumers who want fast-acting relief or discretion in public settings.
You’ll find options high in THC, CBD, or a blend of both. Products like the CBD Earth Vape Cartridge are especially great for daytime use or wellness support, offering smooth vapor and calm without the smoke.
Concentrates: For Experienced Consumers
Concentrates like hash, shatter, and live resin contain highly potent extracts of cannabis. These are typically vaporized or dabbed and not recommended for first-timers. However, for experienced users, they offer purity, flavor, and powerful effects in small amounts.
If you’re curious about traditional products, Organic Lebanese Hash is a standout—crafted using old-school techniques for a rich, grounded experience.
Topicals, Capsules, and More
Other product categories include cannabis-infused creams (for localized pain relief), capsules (for smoke-free dosing), and tinctures (liquid drops taken under the tongue). These formats are often favored for their precision and lack of psychoactive effects, especially in CBD products.
