CANNABIS GUIDE What You Should Know About Cannabis Before you consume cannabis, set yourself up for a good experience with a little preparation (and some premium cannabis). Four Factors that Impact Your Experience The world of cannabis offers endless opportunities for experimentation, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Generally, there are 4 factors that affect your high: 01 Your Body and Preferences The high of your friend’s life might fall flat for you. Is this because your friend has bad taste? Maybe. More likely, it’s because your physiology is perfectly unique, so what feels amazing for your friend might just be okay for you. You might also want different things from your cannabis experience. It’s all about finding what works with your body to help you achieve the feeling you want. This might take some experimentation and guidance from your Key Budtender. Don’t stress, enjoy the ride, and know that we’re here for you. 02 The Cannabis Strain You Select Strains grown by expert producers like Key Cannabis have specific terpenes that deliver specific aromas, flavors, and distinct feelings. Pair that with precisely calibrated levels of cannabinoids, and you have products that serve consistent results, so you can rely on achieving the feeling/vibe/relief you’re looking for, over and over. Looking for the best strains for first-time smokers? Consider options that balance THC and CBD. These strains offer a mild “high” that won’t overwhelm with psychoactive effects.

Here’s your stoner’s guide to hosting a great Emmys party (that you might not remember very well). (Pre)roll out the red carpet No Emmys party is complete without a proper pregame. Set the tone by lighting something shareable. Peak Pre-Roll Packs are perfect for passing around, and you can fire up the big one if the opening monologue drags on longer than expected. Strains for Every Category Pair your smoke with the right vibe for the night’s biggest awards: Best Drama: Planet of the Grapes — bold, intense, and deserving of a standing ovation. Best Comedy: Mac & Cheese — laid-back and comforting with a little gas, like a sitcom best buddy. Best Limited Series: First Lady — layered, complex, and worth savoring, just like prestige TV. Best Reality TV: Wedding Cake — sweet, indulgent, and sometimes messy, but always fun. SNACKZ Snacks are the unsung heroes of any watch party. You can play it safe with popcorn, candy, and chips... or go bigger with nachos, pizza rolls, or themed treats (bonus points for star-shaped cookies).

There's that runner's high, and the other kind of (our favorite): cannabis for runners. We know that many athletes, particularly runners, tend to stay away from smoking. But there are other ways to consume cannabis for those who are curious about how cannabis might enhance the running experience, from mood to recovery. Here’s what the science says, plus tips for working cannabis into your routine without derailing your stride. Why Runners Are Turning to Cannabis Here's a quick rundown of the science on "runner's highs" and cannabis's role in exercise enjoyment and recovery: Runner’s high = endocannabinoids: Studies suggest the “runner’s high” is linked more to the body’s endocannabinoid system than endorphins. After a 45-minute jog, levels of anandamide (the “bliss molecule”) spike, leading to euphoria and calm. Cannabis taps into the same system, potentially amplifying those effects. Boosting enjoyment: A 2024 University of Colorado study found participants reported greater enjoyment and a more intense “runner’s high” when combining cannabis with exercise. Recovery & rest: Research also shows CBD may ease inflammation, reduce soreness, and improve sleep quality, all critical for runners. We love combining exercise, including long runs, with cannabis, but there are a couple important clarifications to keep in mind 1) Cannabis isn’t a performance enhancer. Most folks using and enjoying cannabis while running are in it for the experience, mindset, and recovery. And 2)... --- - Published: 2025-08-14 - Modified: 2025-08-14 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/how-your-cannabis-purchase-is-helping-support-veterans/ As we head into Memorial Day weekend, we want to take a moment to recognize the many veterans who walk through our doors. At Key Cannabis Dispensary, we deeply value the service and sacrifices of U. S. veterans. A lot of our customers, including veterans, use cannabis to manage a variety of conditions. Beyond relief and wellness, cannabis sales in many states contribute directly to broader support systems for veterans. So when you shop at Key Dispensary, you're also contributing funds to vital programs for veterans in the communities we serve. In Illinois and Arizona, a portion of the taxes collected on your cannabis purchases goes toward services like mental health support, addiction recovery, legal aid, and in Missouri, taxes directly support veterans' services in addition to those programs. Learn more about the efforts in each state below. Veterans and Cannabis in Missouri In Missouri, cannabis sales are making a big impact. In 2025 alone, the state directed over $23 million in marijuana tax revenue to veteran services, including health care programs run by the Missouri Veterans Commission. These funds also support substance use treatment and legal aid services across the state. That means every product you buy helps power programs that veterans count on. Veterans and Cannabis in Illinois In Illinois, 20% of cannabis tax revenue is earmarked for mental health and substance use programs—resources that many veterans rely on. Another 25% goes to the R3 Program, which funds organizations in communities hit hardest by past criminalization.

Summer’s officially here. So! We rounded up a few things to help you kick off the season, local Key events, summer weed recs for gatherings that are also easy fun ways to share our favorite plant with beginner friends and elders (AZ and IL, your summer guides are coming soon! ). High-ho, let’s go Beginner-friendly treats: Campfire s’mores and floats to make you float If you’re looking for some fun (stoney) twists on summer treats or to ease a curious beginner into weed, we recommend going edible-adjacent. Infused chocolates (like Panda) are perfect for campfire s’mores. Just keep the infused stuff separate from the regular chocolate, so your folks can choose their own adventure and not have an accidental trip. And if you’re a root beer float family... consider also adding weed! Infused floats are a nice way to cool off without turning into a puddle - or to become one with a puddle, whatever your vibe is. Brands like Keef and Mary Jones make cannabis sodas in classic flavors—cola, root beer, orange—all excellent over vanilla ice cream. Drinks also hit faster than traditional edibles, so they’re great for social settings where you want to feel it without the wait. Try Keef 10mg cans for beginners. They’re low-dose and easy to sip slow. Shareable Stuff for Smokers Pack for the group: If you’re headed to a picnic, campfire, any group thing, pinpacks (a whole box of pre-rolls) will make things easy to pass and won’t... --- - Published: 2025-08-14 - Modified: 2025-08-14 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/lifestyle/celebrate-loud-proud-and-a-little-stoned-with-cannabis-for-pride-and-beyond/ Hi Missouri, Illinois and Arizona!

A well-stocked stash of weed for summer makes any and all summer festivals a little more joyful, so we rounded up some recommendations from our Budtenders that are easy to share and heat-friendly. Perfect for dancing all day or when you find that patch of shade! Budtender Picks for Pride + Summer Festivals A few of the products our team recommends for keeping your Pride experience lifted (and chill when you need it! ): Product(s): Wateria Gumm-Es from Elevate, Keef and Mary Jones Soda’s Why they love it: For edibles; Waterita gummies help keep the festival hype up, or to help beat the heat I think either of the Keef sodas. If they need a higher dosage the Mary Jones are really good! I appreciate that both of the sodas are resealable and are kept in a fridge so when you buy it, it's ice cold! - Riley J. , Key Cannabis East Product(s): Min- E-Bars Elevate Why they love it: They're compact and discreet and I always enjoy the effects! - Lydia P. , Key Cannabis KC East Product(s): KC Cough Min-E-Bar Why they love it: My only go to sativa!

MEANING, your weed will hit a little different. Whether you’re out and about, chilling in the shade, or running from car to air-conditioned building, hydration tips for cannabis users are a must. Knowing how to manage your favorite plant safely in the heat is key (literally). Here are a few smart, simple hydration tips for cannabis users (the friendliest of reminders, for you, our friends) that’ll help you stay cool and comfortable during your summer smoking, dabbing, munching and what have you. Start with Lots of Water, End with Water, Repeat Cannabis can cause dry mouth, and hot weather just makes it worse. Before you light up, drink a full glass of water—and then keep sipping. Electrolyte drinks are even better if you’re feeling fancy. Hydration is everything when it’s blazing out, and you're blazing up (sorry, too easy! ! ). Pair Your High with Hydrating Snacks A favorite hydration tip for cannabis users because it involves SNACKS: pair your plants with more plants. Fruit is our friend! Watermelon, oranges, cucumbers—all packed with water to keep you from drying out. Like a sad little forgotten pre-roll in a fall jacket pocket. Avoid Too-High Highs If you're a "sometimes" consumer, skip the extra-potent edibles or heavy dabs when temps are soaring. They dehydrate you more and can hit too hard when your body’s already working overtime to cool off.

A recent Missouri cannabis tax ruling from the Supreme Court just put more money back in your pocket. The decision prevents double taxation on recreational cannabis purchases in cities and towns that have their own local government, so you’ll save money every time you shop. Missouri’s Supreme Court Ruling Explained In a 6–1 ruling issued in July 2025, the Missouri Supreme Court clarified that local governments can’t stack a 3% marijuana sales tax on top of another 3% tax in the same location (yes, this was happening). Under Amendment 3 (approved by voters in 2022), only ONE local government—either a city/town in an incorporated area or the county in unincorporated zones—can charge that extra 3%. Not both! That Means... You’ll See Lower Taxes at Checkout Before this very needed Missouri cannabis tax ruling, some dispensaries had to collect both the city’s and the county’s 3% cannabis tax. That meant customers were paying up to a 6% local tax, on top of Missouri’s 6% state cannabis tax and other standard sales taxes. In some areas, your total was ballooning past 20%. NOW, if you’re buying cannabis in an incorporated city that already has a 3% tax, the county can’t pile on its own. HUZZAH, and thank goodness. How This Saves Missouri Cannabis Customers Money Missouri cannabis consumers are expected to save around $3 million a month thanks to this ruling. That’s real money back in your wallet—whether you put it toward groceries, gas, rent, ooooor a... --- - Published: 2025-05-12 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/news/licensed-cannabis-dispensary-arizona/ When you’re buying THC products in Arizona—whether it’s gummies to help you sleep or a cannabis drink to unwind—you deserve to know exactly what you’re putting in your body. Licensed cannabis dispensaries in Arizona follow strict safety and testing standards to ensure that. And now, the state is stepping in to help protect consumers. Starting April 24, 2025, Arizona is cracking down on stores selling hemp-derived THC (like Delta-8) without a state cannabis license. That means gas stations, smoke shops, and even some health food stores still selling Delta-8 THC edibles are officially on notice. Why Choosing a Licensed Cannabis Dispensary in Arizona Matters Let’s break it down. In Arizona today, you can technically buy two very different kinds of weed: Delta-9 THC – The cannabis-derived good stuff. Grown, tested, and sold through licensed cannabis dispensaries in Arizona under strict state regulations (like us). Delta-8 (hemp-derived THC) – A legal-ish loophole product made from industrial hemp. It can get you high, but it’s not subject to the same rules, testing, or oversight. You’ll find it at gas stations and smoke shops—but it’s almost impossible to know what’s actually in it. That’s the problem. The stuff sold outside of licensed dispensaries isn’t always safe, and it’s impossible to know what’s in it. Why buy licensed? When you buy from a licensed cannabis dispensary in Arizona, you’re getting: Lab-tested, regulated products Accurate potency and ingredient labels Products made under strict safety and quality controls Help from budtenders who know what they’re talking... --- - Published: 2025-05-12 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/cannabis-and-womens-wellness-a-beginners-guide/ This post is especially for women who are curious about cannabis.

These complex tastes are primarily driven by terpenes, aromatic compounds that not only affect the smell of your bud but also impact your overall experience. Understanding the relationship between flavor and terpenes can help you find strains that suit your personal preferences. Let’s break down some of the most common cannabis taste profiles and the terpenes responsible for them. 1. Citrus & Fruity Bright, zesty, and refreshing—citrus and fruit-forward cannabis strains are often uplifting and invigorating. These flavors come from terpenes that are also found in lemons, oranges, and tropical fruits. Key Terpenes: Limonene – Found in citrus peels, limonene is responsible for tangy, lemon-lime flavors. Known for its mood-enhancing and stress-relieving effects. Myrcene – While often associated with earthy and musky notes, myrcene also contributes to the fruity, mango-like sweetness in some strains. Strains to Try: Super Lemon Haze Grapefruit Durban Cali Sunset Rosé 2. Earthy & Woody A more grounded, natural flavor profile, earthy and woody strains often have a deep, forest-like aroma. These flavors come from terpenes that are commonly found in trees, bark, and soil. Key Terpenes: Humulene – Also found in hops, humulene delivers a woody, herbal taste with potential appetite-suppressing effects. Pinene – Present in pine trees, pinene gives strains a crisp, fresh, and slightly spicy undertone while promoting alertness. Strains to Try: Lotowana OG Northern Lights Dark Starz 3. Sweet & Dessert-Like For those with a... --- - Published: 2025-02-21 - Modified: 2025-02-24 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/reviews/grapefruit-durban-pre-rolls-why-theyre-a-must-try/ Love pre-rolls? Or searching for a new strain to share? We recommend Grapefruit Durban from Elevate Cannabis, the pre-roll that topped Missouri’s charts in 2024. But first... What is a pre-roll? A pre-roll is a ready-to-go joint—no grinding, packing, or rolling required. It’s a discreet, convenient, portable option if you love flowers. Pre-rolls come in different varieties: classic cones offer slow, even burns, mini pre-rolls are small and good for a quick smoke, and infused pre-rolls are packed with extra potency from infused concentrates. Pre-rolls are available in a range of strains and pack sizes, so you can try new strains, control your dose, and discover your preferences. What kind of weed strain is Grapefruit Durban? Grapefruit Durban is one of Elevate’s most popular strains thanks to its unique effects and bright citrus flavor. The Grapefruit Durban pre-roll 10-pack was the top-selling pre-roll in Missouri in 2024. This is a Sativa-dominant cross of Grapefruit and Durban Poison. Flavors: A sweet and sour citrus scent and distinct grapefruit flavor with herbal spice at the end Terpenes: Limonene, beta-Myrcene, Nerolidol THC: On the higher side, ranging from 25. 28% to 33. 35%, this strain is ideal for seasoned cannabis users or smokers looking to level up What does Grapefruit Durban feel like? Grapefruit Durban’s terpene profile offers a unique balance of uplifting and calming effects. Limonene delivers a bright mood boost, while beta-Myrcene and Nerolidol provide relaxation and calming effects.

Beyond THC and CBD, there’s an entire spectrum of compounds that interact with our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) in unique ways. Let’s dive into some of the lesser-known cannabinoids that are shaping the future of cannabis wellness and innovation. THC & Variants: The Classics and the Newcomers Delta-9 THC The most famous cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is responsible for cannabis’ psychoactive effects. It binds directly to CB1 receptors in the brain, creating euphoria, relaxation, and in some cases, increased appetite or creativity. Delta-8 THC A milder, cousin of Delta-9, Delta-8 THC offers similar effects but with a less intense high. It’s growing in popularity for those who want a functional experience without overwhelming psychoactivity and is typically sold as a vape oil, edible, or concentrate. But it's important to know that Delta-8 THC sales are largely unregulated. The contents of Delta-8 can vary from product to product. In other words, there isn't a good way to know what's in it. The Rising Stars: Minor Cannabinoids with Major Potential CBG (Cannabigerol) – The "Mother of Cannabinoids" CBG is often called the stem cell of cannabinoids because THC, CBD, and other compounds come from SBG during plant growth. Research suggests it has potential benefits for focus, mood support, and digestive health. CBC (Cannabichromene) – The Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse CBC is non-intoxicating and works alongside other cannabinoids to amplify effects through the entourage effect.... --- - Published: 2025-01-13 - Modified: 2025-02-02 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/ask-and-expert/the-story-behind-peak-flower-q-a-with-ian-peak/ Peak cannabis is the newest flower offering from Elevate Cannabis—a nod to Elevate’s COO and grower behind it all, Ian Peak. Peak cannabis is the result of years of experience from Ian and a passionate team who live and breathe cannabis. Together, they’re crafting flower that’s about more than THC— it’s about new cannabis experiences. We sat down with Ian and the cultivation team to talk about the process behind Peak—everything from strain selection to small-batch cultivation and what makes this flower truly stand out. What sparked your interest in cannabis cultivation? It started when I was really young, back in Colorado. I got involved in harvesting—trimming for friends and people in the community. When I first saw the plant up close, I was intrigued. It really is such a gorgeous plant, and the different characteristics of phenotypes and strains really drew me in. Eventually, I got tired of just trimming flowers for other people and wanted to learn how to cultivate it myself. A friend’s mom had some unused space in her basement. That’s how I got started. I was 18 at the time, so this was back in 2009—that's when I fell in love with it. What’s your growing philosophy? The more time, care, and attention you give to the process, the better the results. That’s true whether you’re growing in a closet, a basement, or managing a 60,000-square-foot canopy. It’s all about the energy and intention you put into it. It really is the fruits of your... --- - Published: 2025-01-10 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/what-are-cannabis-terpenes/ Whether you’re a curious newbie or someone dipping their toes back in after a long hiatus, there’s a lot to explore with cannabis. One of the most fascinating (and often overlooked) parts of the plant: cannabis terpenes. Trust us, they’re worth knowing about. What Are Cannabis Terpenes? Think about peeling an orange as the citrus zest hits your nose. Or walking through a pine forest and breathing in that fresh, woodsy air. Those smells come from terpenes. Terpenes are natural compounds found in plants (and some animals) that give them specific aromas and flavors. Cannabis is packed with them. And cannabis terpenes don't just impact taste and smell—they influence the way cannabis affects your body and mind. Think of them as the unsung heroes working alongside THC and CBD to create a combination of effects—a concept known as the “entourage effect. ” Why Should You Care About Terpenes? Great question! For one, terpenes can help guide you to the kind of cannabis experience you’re looking for. Want to feel relaxed and ready to sink into the couch? Or maybe you’re after a burst of creative energy? Terpenes play a big role in shaping those outcomes. By understanding terpenes, you can go beyond the indica vs. sativa and THC % conversations and get more specific about what suits your needs. Get to Know the Most Common Cannabis Terpenes Here are a few of some common terpenes you’ll find in cannabis and what they bring to the table: 1. Myrcene Aroma: Earthy,... --- - Published: 2025-01-10 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/lifestyle/cannabis-and-exercise-how-to-get-started/ When you think of cannabis and wellness, your mind probably goes straight to its well-known benefits like better sleep or pain relief. But there’s another connection gaining traction: cannabis and exercise. From pro athletes to casual gym-goers, more people are discovering how marijuana can enhance their workouts. Whether it’s boosting motivation, making exercise more enjoyable, or helping with recovery, cannabis can be an ally in your fitness journey. So how does it work? And, more importantly, is it the right fit for you? Let’s explore the science, benefits, and practical tips to help you decide if cannabis deserves a spot in your workout routine. The Science of Cannabis and Exercise There’s no shortage of people who now swear by the benefits of weed and workouts. Beyond these accounts, a growing body of research is uncovering how cannabis might support better workouts and overall wellness. For example, CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce exercise-induced inflammation and aid in muscle recovery. THC, on the other hand, has the potential to amplify the natural euphoria associated with exercise, while both THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to enhance the body’s response to physical activity. Although the science is still in its early stages, the combination of emerging research and widespread anecdotal evidence suggests there’s more to explore when it comes to cannabis and exercise. How Cannabis Can Affect Your Workout Motivation and Enjoyment Some people find that marijuana helps them look forward to working out by... --- - Published: 2024-11-26 - Modified: 2024-12-06 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/news/the-2024-key-gives-back-campaign/ It's the season to stock your stash—for gifting, gathering, or getting through the holidays with a little extra cheer. And this year, your holiday shopping at Key Cannabis Dispensaries can make a big impact. From Nov. 27 to Dec. 31, we’re donating 5% of every purchase you make to life-changing research and support for children and families affected by cancer. What is the Key Gives Back Campaign? Key Gives Back is a joint effort from Key Cannabis and OPES Charitable Foundation, our philanthropic arm dedicated to assisting organizations and families facing health-related challenges. The campaign supports OPES Charitable Foundation’s commitment to pediatric cancer research – this year we are investing $1. 75 million into the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Dare to Dream Initiative. This initiative is a $175 million capital campaign that funds: Research: Developing new, safer treatment options for children with blood cancer. Education & Support: Providing free educational resources and support services for children and their families. Advocacy: Working toward healthcare policy improvements and voicing the needs of young blood cancer patients. Why Support Key Gives Back? Dare to Dream is tackling some urgent issues in pediatric cancer treatment, and with our efforts combined, we can make a real difference. Did you know that 40% of childhood cancers are blood cancers? Or that just 5% of cancer drugs are approved for first–time use in children, leaving young patients with limited treatment options.

Now, in Part 2, we’ll explore the various types of weed vapes available: Proprietary Pod Vapes, Disposable Vapes, and 510 Threaded Vapes. Whether you’re new to vaping or looking for something different, we've got the details covered to help you find the right fit for your needs. Shop every type of weed vape at Key Cannabis in Arizona or Missouri! What are 510 Threaded Vape Cartridges? The 510 threaded vape cartridge system is known for its versatility and compatibility with a wide range of vape batteries. The name comes from the type of threading at the base of the cartridge, which allows it to attach to most standard vape batteries. Why You’ll Love 510 Threaded Carts: Variety: Choose from a diverse selection of oils like distillate, live resin, and liquid diamonds. Plus, you can easily swap out the cartridge on your vape battery for a customizable experience. Cost-effective: While you’ll need to buy a 510 threaded vape battery, using cartridges saves money over time compared to repeatedly buying disposables. Customizable: Many 510 vape batteries feature adjustable temperatures, giving you control over the heat and allowing you to fine-tune your vapor experience. Things to Consider: A bit more complex: You’ll need to do a little research to match the best vape battery with your preferred cartridge. A budtender is a great resource!

It makes sense—THC is the compound responsible for the “high. ” So people assume the higher the percentage, the stronger and better the experience. But that’s only part of the story. THC is just one cannabinoid in cannabis, and while it plays a big role, the balance between THC and CBD (the THC to CBD ratio) can have a big impact on how cannabis makes you feel. Let’s dive into why the THC-to-CBD ratio matters and why focusing solely on THC might not give you the best bang for your buck when it comes to your cannabis experience. What’s the Difference Between THC and CBD? Before we explore the importance of the THC to CBD ratio, let’s break down what THC and CBD are: THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): This psychoactive compound in cannabis is responsible for the “high. ” High THC levels can lead to euphoria, but they can also cause anxiety if consumed in large amounts. CBD (Cannabidiol): Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t cause a high. Instead, it’s known for its calming and therapeutic effects, like pain relief and anti-anxiety benefits. While THC and CBD do their own thing they can actually work better together. This is called the “entourage effect,” where balanced THC/CBD cannabinoids team up to provide a smoother, more controlled experience. This effect happens because CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system differently than THC. While THC binds directly to CB1 receptors in the brain, creating euphoric or... --- - Published: 2024-10-04 - Modified: 2024-10-04 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/cannabis-and-breast-cancer-a-natural-approach-to-symptom-relief/ October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight the many ways patients can find relief during treatment—including the growing role of cannabis in symptom management. For those diagnosed with breast cancer, coping with a life-changing condition and the side effects of treatment can feel overwhelming. However, many people with breast cancer find that cannabis offers a natural way to ease discomfort, and emerging research supports its benefits. Let’s explore how cannabis can help, the different forms it comes in, and how these options might bring relief during your journey. Understanding Cannabis for Symptom Management As more states legalize cannabis, it's becoming an important option for managing breast cancer symptoms and treatment side effects. Here are some ways it can help: Pain Relief: Chronic pain can be a constant challenge during treatment, whether it's from surgery, chemotherapy, or the cancer itself. Cannabinoids like THC and CBD work with the body’s endocannabinoid system to help ease pain. CBD-rich strains offer anti-inflammatory benefits without the psychoactive effects, making them a great option for daytime pain relief. Meanwhile, high-THC strains can provide stronger pain relief for more intense discomfort, though the psychoactive effects might require careful dosing. Nausea: Chemotherapy often comes with intense nausea. THC, in particular, has shown promise in reducing nausea and vomiting, making it easier to keep food down and feel more comfortable. Some patients prefer products with a balance of CBD and THC, which can help ease stomach discomfort while keeping the mind clearer. Appetite Stimulation: Maintaining a... --- - Published: 2024-09-27 - Modified: 2024-09-27 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/understanding-cannabis-vape-cartridges-part-1/ In the first part of our two-part guide, we’ll break down the four main types of cannabis vape cartridges — Distillate, Live Resin, Liquid Diamonds, and Sauce—so you can better understand what you’re vaping. With so many cannabis vape cartridges on the market, it’s easy to feel lost — especially if you're new to vaping! Each type of vape oil offers a unique experience, and knowing the differences can help you find the best option for your needs. Don’t miss Part 2, where we’ll dive into the different styles of vape devices, including Proprietary Pod Vapes, Disposable Vape Cartridges, and 510 Thread Systems, to help you find your perfect match! But first, let's cover the basics of what a vape cartridge is and how it works. What is a Vape Cartridge and How Does it Work? A vape cartridge, or “cart,” is a small, pre-filled container of cannabis oil (typically a half or full gram) that’s designed to be used with a vaporizer or vape pen. These cartridges usually come with a mouthpiece on one end and a connection point on the other, which screws or snaps into a battery-operated device. When you activate a vape device (by pressing a button or simply inhaling, it depends on the model), the battery heats the oil inside the cartridge without burning it. This heat turns the oil into vapor, which you inhale through the mouthpiece. Unlike smoking, vaping releases THC and CBD without combustion, making it a smoother option. Since vape cartridges... --- - Published: 2024-09-20 - Modified: 2024-09-23 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/the-role-of-cannabis-in-opioid-awareness-cannabis-for-pain-management/ September 21 is National Opioid Awareness Day in the U. S. , a day dedicated to raising awareness of the ongoing impact of opioid dependency on individuals, their families and communities. It's crucial to explore safer alternatives for pain management—like cannabis—which may offer an effective option for some individuals. At Key Cannabis, we believe in providing education on the potential benefits of cannabis in a balanced, responsible way. Cannabis is not a cure for addiction, but research shows that it can be an effective alternative for treating chronic pain, making it a valuable tool in the fight against opioid overdoses. The Opioid Crisis: A National Emergency Opioids, often prescribed to manage severe pain, have been the cornerstone of pain treatment for decades. These drugs can be effective in the short term, but carry a high risk of addiction. What starts as a legitimate need for pain relief can quickly spiral into dependency. The opioid crisis has also created widespread grief for families and communities. National Opioid Awareness Day aims to break the silence and stigma around opioid-related deaths while encouraging more open discussions about safer alternatives for pain management. Can Cannabis Offer an Alternative for Pain? As the opioid crisis continues, there is growing interest in alternative treatments for pain that carry fewer risks. Cannabis has emerged as a promising option, with research suggesting that it may help reduce the need for opioid medications in certain cases. Studies have found that patients dealing with chronic pain who have access to... --- - Published: 2024-09-06 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/what-is-deli-style-flower/ Deli-style shopping allows you to see and smell your bud before you buy.

Understanding cannabis labels can be tricky, but we’re here to simplify it for you. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to read Missouri cannabis labels, so you can inform your next purchase! What to Look for on Your Cannabis Labels There’s a lot of information on a cannabis label but the most relevant elements for a casual consumer are the product details and potency. These details can give you an idea of how the product will affect you (you can find more on that here): Product Type/Format: What form the cannabis takes (e. g. , flower, edible). Servings/Dose Per Package: How many doses are in the package. Weight: The total weight of the product. Product Name: The name of the product. Potency Analysis: Will include information on the cannabinoids in the product, their strength, and terpenes. Terms to Know on Your Cannabis Labels You’ll see a handful of cannabinoids listed on your product label along with a number indicating the quantity of the cannabinoid in the product. Here are the main cannabinoids to know: THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol): Is the main cannabinoid responsible for the intoxicating effect (“high” feeling) of cannabis. THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid): The non-psychoactive precursor to THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), the compound in cannabis responsible for its psychoactive effects. The amount of THCA listed is very important—this cannabinoid becomes THC when heated (more on that in a minute). So, if the THCA level is high, expect greater psychoactive effects, even if the... --- - Published: 2024-08-20 - Modified: 2024-09-05 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/licensed-cannabis-dispensaries-vs-cbd-stores-where-should-you-shop/ When it comes to navigating Missouri's cannabis landscape, knowing where to shop is just as important as knowing what to buy. If you’re confused about your options for buying legal mind-altering products in Missouri, we’ve got you covered. Licensed cannabis dispensaries vs CBD stores: learn the differences between so you can find the right product for you, from the right place! When it comes to navigating Missouri's cannabis landscape, knowing where to shop is just as important as knowing what to buy – while dispensaries and CBD shops both offer forms of cannabis, the differences in product, regulation and quality control are significant. If you’re confused about your options for buying legal mind-altering products in Missouri, we’ve got you covered. And if you didn’t know there was a difference between cannabis dispensaries and CBD stores, you’re not alone! Here are the basics to inform your next purchase: what you can buy where, how products are regulated, and why it’s important. What is a Licensed Cannabis Dispensary? A licensed cannabis dispensary is a one-stop shop for products containing THC derived from the cannabis plant (also known as Delta-9). These products produce a psychoactive “high” feeling and serve a wide range of medicinal and recreational purposes. Delta-9 THC is legal at the state level and highly regulated – the most important distinction between the product you’ll find at a legal dispensary vs a CBD store or retailer. All of the products in medical and recreational cannabis dispensaries (from flower and edibles to concentrates and tools) are rigorously tested by the state for safety and quality. When it comes to the buying experience, dispensaries are staffed by Budtenders, whose primary role is guiding customers and patients through their options and finding... --- - Published: 2024-08-20 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/a-simple-guide-to-getting-a-good-deal-on-gummies/ If cannabis gummies are your go-to, we’ve got some tips to help you get more bang for your buck – think of it like buying bulk for THC. Who doesn't love a gummy? If cannabis gummies are your go-to, we’ve got some tips to help you get a good deal on gummies. You can think of it like buying bulk for THC. Let’s dive into why buying edibles at a higher dosage can be a smart choice for your wallet. Why Bigger Gummies Are a Good Deal 1. Get More for Your Money Buying bulk can be better: the bigger the gummy pack, the less you pay per milligram of THC. For example, with 2000MG edibles, you’re paying just $0. 09 per milligram. Compare that to smaller packs where you might pay as much as $0. 25 per milligram. That’s nearly three times more expensive! 2. Flexible Dosing Higher-dosage gummies can also easily be split into smaller pieces. A 1000MG single-serve edible can be sliced into 20 pieces of 100MG each – you can tailor your dosage to your needs, whether you're a casual user or someone who requires higher doses. 3. Save Over Time If gummies are part of your routine, buying in bulk can save you cash over time! Instead of spending $25 on every 100MG gummy, grab a 2000MG pack for $180 and stretch your budget further. 4. Less Packaging, Less Waste Not only are you saving money, but buying larger packs also means less packaging waste. That’s a win for your wallet and the environment. Comparing Costs: Bigger vs. Smaller Packs When you’re shopping for gummies, the price tag isn’t the only thing to... --- - Published: 2024-07-22 - Modified: 2024-08-21 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/lifestyle/cooking-with-cannabis/ Cooking with cannabis has come a long way since the days of tossing some ground bud into a boxed brownie mix and hoping for the best. Without expensive kitchen tools or complicated math equations, you can heighten your culinary cannabis experience. We talked to Kansas City-based chef, Carlos Mortera, for insights and ideas. Chef Mortera has mastered the art of cooking with cannabis, hosting private, multi-course dinner parties around the Kansas City area. “I love creating cannabis-infused dishes because it’s another way to explore food and enhance the experience of flavors,” he says. Choosing a Strain of Weed to Cook With Think about how you want to feel. Do you want an edible to help enhance your creativity? Or is it more about reducing chronic pain or anxiety? Check out our strain guide or read our blog post about cannabis for pain management for some ideas. In addition to the effects, consider the flavor profile that will work best in your recipe. If possible, smell your flower before buying. If you love the aroma, you’ll most likely love the taste. Cooking with Cannabis If you’re new to cannabis recipes, Chef Mortera suggests starting with butter or oil, since those can be used in so many recipes ranging from sweet to savory. Because THC needs to bind to fat molecules, butter, coconut oil, olive oil and vegetable oil are ideal for cannabis infusion. Making Your Own Cannabis-infused Butter and Oil Cannabis must first be decarboxylated to properly infuse it with butter... --- - Published: 2024-07-18 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/how-to-use-a-vape/ Vaping has become a popular way to consume cannabis, but how does it work exactly? What materials do you need? Find out here! A vaporizer, commonly known as a vape pen or vape device, is an electronic device used to heat cannabis or cannabis concentrates to a temperature that releases the active compounds as vapor. Unlike smoking, which involves combustion and produces smoke, vaporizers create inhalable vapor, for a healthier, cleaner and more discreet method of cannabis consumption. Using a vaporizer may vary depending on the specific device, so it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions. STEP 1 Read the instructions Familiarize yourself with the specific features, controls, and safety guidelines of your vaporizer. Each device may have unique instructions and settings. STEP 2 Charge the battery Ensure your vaporizer is charged and ready for use. Connect it to a power source as per the manufacturer's instructions and allow it to charge fully. STEP 3 Prepare your cannabis If using loose leaf cannabis, grind it to a medium-fine consistency. This helps promote even vaporization. STEP 4 Load the vaporizer Open the chamber or cartridge of your vaporizer and carefully place the ground cannabis or cannabis concentrate carts inside, following the device's instructions. Avoid overpacking to maintain proper airflow. STEP 5 Adjust the temperature (if applicable) If your vaporizer has temperature control, select your desired temperature. Lower temperatures often result in more flavorful and aromatic vapor, while higher temperatures may produce denser vapor. STEP 6 Activate the vaporizer Depending on your device, you may need to press a button or inhale from the mouthpiece to activate the heating element. Refer to the instructions to... --- - Published: 2024-07-17 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/how-to-use-a-water-pipe-aka-bong/ Water Pipes, commonly known as bongs, are a party favorite. With big hits of flavorful cannabis, what’s not to love? Find out how to use a water pipe right here. What is a bong? Great question. A bong, or water pipe, consists of a chamber filled with water that cools and filters the smoke before inhalation, providing a smooth smoking experience. While filtering out unwanted elements, a water pipe preserves the natural flavors of the cannabis, allowing you to experience the full spectrum of tastes and aromas. It’s important to note that water pipes often have larger chambers, allowing for bigger hits. Great for experienced users or those seeking a more substantial and potent smoking experience. Using a water pipe may seem complicated at first, but it becomes muscle memory very quickly. STEP 1 Fill the water pipe Remove the downstem or bowl piece from the water pipe. Then fill the chamber with just enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem. If you overfill, you could get your cannabis wet, or water might enter your mouth when you inhale. Not great. STEP 2 Grind your cannabis Use a grinder to break down your cannabis into smaller, evenly sized pieces. This will give you a nice, consistent burn and optimal airflow. STEP 3 Pack the bowl Insert the downstem or bowl piece back into the water pipe. Then gently pack a pinch of ground cannabis into the bowl piece. You don’t want to smash too much cannabis into the bowl because you need air to flow through. STEP 4 Ignite and inhale Hold the water pipe by the mouthpiece with one hand and place your lips inside the mouthpiece.... --- - Published: 2024-07-16 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/how-to-roll-a-joint/ They’re classic for a reason. Joints are simple, portable, discreet, and there’s something ritualistic about rolling your own. Learn how right here. What could be more beautiful than the simplicity of ground cannabis rolled in thin paper? Joints offer control for precise dosing, and once you know how to roll one, they require minimal prep time. They’re portable, and perfect for a personal smoke or to share with friends. STEP 1 Gather your materials Rolling papers Ground cannabis Grinder (optional) STEP 2 Prepare your cannabis Use a grinder or your fingers to break down your cannabis into smaller, even pieces. This helps ensure a consistent burn and optimal airflow. STEP 3 Prepare the joint Place a filter tip or crutch at one end of the rolling paper (opposite the gummed edge). This will serve as a mouthpiece and provide stability to the joint. STEP 4 Fill and shape the joint Hold the rolling paper with the adhesive side facing you. Then distribute the ground marijuana evenly along the length of the rolling paper. Make sure it's slightly thicker in the middle and tapered towards the ends. Use your fingertips to shape the cannabis into a cylindrical form, gently tamping it down for compact, but even distribution. STEP 5 Roll the joint Starting from the end closest to you, use your thumbs and index fingers to roll the paper back and forth, tucking it under the cannabis. Apply light pressure to form a cylinder shape. Then, lick the adhesive edge of the rolling paper and continue rolling until the joint is fully sealed. STEP 6 Finish and light Gently pack the open end... --- - Published: 2024-07-15 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/how-to-use-a-hand-pipe-or-bowl/ Find out how to take the perfect hit of cannabis with a hand pipe, also known as a bowl, or spoon pipe. Using a hand pipe doesn't require extensive instructions. Essentially, it’s ready when you are. A hand pipe, also known as a spoon pipe or a bowl, is a simple, discreet, and portable device that fits comfortably in one hand. It usually has a bowl for the cannabis, a carburetor (or carb) to control airflow, and a mouthpiece for inhalation. Hand pipes are designed to hold a small amount of cannabis, which allows for controlled and precise dosing. Nice for everyone—great for people who are newer to cannabis. STEP 1 Get your cannabis ready Use a grinder or break down your cannabis into smaller pieces using your fingers. This helps ensure an even burn and optimal airflow. STEP 2 Pack the bowl Load your cannabis into the bowl. Try not to overpack, because you need air to flow through. STEP 3 Ignite and inhale With the mouthpiece near your lips, use a lighter or a hemp wick to ignite the cannabis in the bowl as you inhale gently. Rotate the lighter or hemp wick around the bowl to ensure you’re smoking the green, not relighting the charred cannabis over and over. STEP 4 Control the carb As you continue inhaling, release your thumb or finger from the carb to allow fresh air to mix with the smoke, enhancing the airflow and clearing the chamber. STEP 5 Exhale and enjoy Once you've taken in enough smoke, remove the flame and set the hand pipe aside. Exhale and enjoy the effects of your smoke. Tip: you DO NOT have to hold the smoke in to absorb more... --- - Published: 2024-07-14 - Modified: 2024-07-31 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/how-to-do-dabs/ Curious about dabbing cannabis concentrates like wax, shatter or oil? You’re in the right place. Find out why connoisseurs love dabbing and learn about the tools needed to get started. Before we get into the delights of dabbing, we want to take a moment to let you know: this method is known to deliver a very potent experience with fast-acting effects. So, if you’re new to cannabis, make sure you know dabbing may not be a gentle intro. Dabbing is for consuming cannabis concentrates (wax, shatter, or oil). It involves heating your concentrate and inhaling the resulting vapor. Cannabis connoisseurs love dabbing because the rich terpene content in cannabis concentrates contributes to a more nuanced flavor profile, so you can appreciate what each unique strain has to offer. Dabbing Tools There are a few ways to dab. Some require a few steps and specific tools, and others are less complicated. Just remember, when it comes to concentrates, a little goes a loooong way, regardless of the tool you use. Talk with your Budtender about how each works and what to expect. Dab rig: A water pipe made for inhaling dabs. Instead of a bowl for flower, a dab rig has a nail where you place the concentrates. You’ll need a butane lighter to heat the nail, and a heat resistant tool (dabber or dab wand) to handle the concentrate. First time using a dab rig? Ask an experienced friend to show you how it’s done. E-nail: Short for electronic nail, an e-nail is an attachment you can get for your traditional dab rig. An e-nail replaces the standard nail and torch on the dab rig, and lets you control the... --- - Published: 2024-07-12 - Modified: 2024-07-31 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/best-cannabis-for-sleep/ You’re tired but just can’t fall asleep or stay asleep. What if cannabis could help improve your sleep quality? Tossing and turning all night. Looking at the clock every hour as morning gets closer. The anxiety that kicks in when you think about how exhausted you’ll be the next day. Insomnia is the worst. Some people don’t like taking prescription or over-the-counter sleeping pills. Maybe they feel like they’re not getting quality sleep, or they don’t love how they feel in the morning. Is Cannabis Good or Bad for Sleep? Many cannabis users have found that certain strains of weed really do help them sleep better. And now there are several studies that show cannabis can work as a sleep aid. In a small Canadian study (38 patients), 71% of patients reported a subjective improvement in their sleep or related condition. 1 A 2017 investigation revealed the many benefits of medical cannabis from a dispensary member’s perspective. The 984 participants were legal members of medical cannabis dispensaries who had been diagnosed with chronic pain. Two-thirds of patients in the study reported pain relief as the primary benefit of cannabis use, with improved sleep being the second-most reported benefit. 2 Best Cannabis for Sleep You may want to start by looking at specific terpenes, compounds that give plants their aromas and flavors. They’re also behind many of the specific effects provided by individual marijuana strains: Beta Myrcene is not only one of the best terpenes for sleep, it’s also the most abundant terpene in cannabis. Known for its soothing properties, Beta Myrcene can help you relax and increase the amount... --- - Published: 2024-07-10 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/how-to-roll-a-blunt/ Rolling a blunt takes practice. Here are some step-by-step instructions to help you get started. We believe in you—good luck! Blunts are similar to joints but rolled large to accommodate more marijuana. This can deliver a more potent smoking experience, with stronger effects. The larger size also makes them ideal for sharing. You have options when it comes to the wrap you select—and not all blunts are created equally. We encourage you to skip tobacco products that can potentially harm your health, and choose wraps made from hemp and herbal alternatives instead. Blunts are known for their slow and even burn. They tend to burn slower than traditional rolling papers, providing a longer-lasting smoking session. STEP 1 Gather your materials Wrap Ground cannabis Grinder (optional) Small knife or scissors STEP 2 Grind and fill the blunt Use a grinder (or your fingers) to break down your buds into smaller, even pieces. Sprinkle the ground cannabis evenly along the length of the blunt wrap, leaving some space at both ends for sealing. STEP 3 Shape and pack Using your fingers, gently shape and pack the cannabis inside the blunt wrap, ensuring an even distribution. Avoid overpacking to prevent the blunt from becoming too tight, which could impede airflow. STEP 4 Seal and roll Starting at one end, tuck the edge of the wrap around the cannabis and begin rolling it upward, using your fingertips to compress the cannabis inside. Lick the edge of the wrap and seal it by pressing it against the outer wrap. STEP 5 Finish and light Use your fingers to gently shape the blunt into an even... --- - Published: 2024-07-09 - Modified: 2024-07-31 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/what-are-cannabis-strains/ Maybe you’ve heard cannabis referred to as Indica-dominant, or Sativa-dominant, but what does that mean? And what’s a Hybrid strain? Get answers here! All marijuana strains fall into three categories: Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. Each offers a unique effect and experience. As cannabis experts continue to cultivate new breeds, new strains continue to arise. Indica A smaller, bushier, plant with wider leaves and fatter, denser buds rich in resin production. Indica Plants originate from the more mountainous regions of the Middle East. The plants are known to have a shorter flowering cycle and tend to stay much smaller than the Sativa plant. Examples of landrace Indica strains are Hindu Kush, Mazar, and Afghani. Indica strains are known for their relaxing and soothing properties. They typically have higher levels of CBD and lower levels of THC, the psychoactive compound.   Indica strains often provide a calming effect, which is why many people use them in the evening or before bed. Stress relief Anti-anxiety Insomnia Pain relief Sativa A taller, stringier plant with thin, narrow leaves, and more airy flowers. Sativa plants originate from more southern, warmer climates and have a much longer flowering time to reach maturity. Examples of landrace sativa strains are Durban Poison, Acapulco Gold, Thai Stick, and Lambs Bread. Sativa strains typically offer uplifting and energizing effects. They usually have higher THC levels and lower CBD content.   Sativa strains are known to provide a cerebral (heady) high and are often chosen for daytime use. Creative flow Boost focus & energy Socialization Combat mood disorders Hybrid Plants that combine characteristics of Indica and Sativa The OG cannabis types are Indica and Sativa plants, but did you know that most of... --- - Published: 2024-07-08 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/cannabis-buying-guide/ Heading to a dispensary to buy some marijuana flower?

As more experts turn their time and attention to raising the standards across the industry, cannabis is evolving and improving every day. Clinical research continues, more states are legalizing cannabis for recreational purposes, and things are changing for the better. Before we dive into the basics of what cannabis is, let’s look at what it’s not. Cannabis make you lazy. Nope. The lazy stoner stereotype is not an accurate description of everyone who partakes in cannabis—and it’s not an accurate description of how every type of cannabis product makes you feel. Sure, some cannabis products can help you relax, but there are also options that boost energy, creativity, and improve focus. Cannabis kills brain cells. Actually, no. Using cannabis does not kill brain cells. Heavy use over a long period of time might affect cognitive function, but it’s not permanent or as severe as people may have been led to believe. Cannabis has no real medical value. Absolutely not true. Many scientific studies and real patient experiences support the medical use of cannabis. In fact, it’s relied on by people with chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, cancer-related nausea, and more. Cannabis is a gateway drug. There’s actually no proof that using cannabis leads directly to the use of more potent drugs. You already know how cannabis makes you feel. Many people who have tried cannabis once or twice think that they will have the same experience every time they use it. However, different cannabis strains deliver different effects. Understanding these... --- - Published: 2024-07-05 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/cannabis-for-anxiety-and-ptsd/ Discover how cannabis can alleviate anxiety and PTSD symptoms, focusing on high-CBD, low-THC strains. Learn about the endocannabinoid system, key terpenes, and recommended strains Recent research shows that cannabis can help with anxiety and PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder — especially strains that are high in CBD and low in THC. Anxiety Some people experience anxiety in social situations. For others, it’s a near-constant feeling of dread. It could be excessive worry over everyday things, like health, family, money or work, but it could also be a normal reaction to stress. Anxiety often involves physical symptoms, like sweating, tension, restlessness and rapid heartbeat. PTSD Although not classified as an anxiety disorder, PTSD can cause anxiety and panic attacks as well as nightmares, flashbacks and intense emotions related to a traumatic event. PTSD develops after a person has been exposed to trauma, like a violent attack, a serious injury, or devastation from a natural disaster or war. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms of anxiety or PTSD, talk to your healthcare provider about a treatment plan. Is Cannabis Good for Anxiety? The answer to that question is a bit complicated (much like anxiety itself). When it comes to high-THC cannabis and anxiety, research shows that at lower doses, cannabis can help. At higher doses, it seems to make it worse. It’s important to note, however, that high doses of CBD can actually reduce anxiety. How Does Cannabis Help Anxiety and PTSD? Cannabis primarily interacts with our endocannabinoid system, or ECS. This network in the body helps us to maintain balance, or homeostasis. In addition to sleep, memory, learning, immunity, digestion and inflammatory responses, the... --- - Published: 2024-07-04 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/what-are-the-effects-of-cannabis/ From pain relief and relaxation to creativity and much (much) more, cannabis offers a beautiful range of benefits. Specific cannabis strains and forms, taken at different dosages can deliver a wide range of effects. And those effects can be different from person to person because we all have (perfectly) unique physiologies and preferences. Ask your Key Budtender for a recommendation based on the feeling you want to achieve, listen to your body, keep track of your experiences and find your favorites.   What are the Recreational Benefits of Cannabis? Discovering how cannabis can enhance your day to day can be truly transformative for your mind and body. Here are just a few of the effects cannabis (with varying levels of THC and CBD) can provide: Stress relief and relaxation: Always on? Flip the switch and invite some well-deserved downtime into your day. Cannabis brings calming, soothing properties to help alleviate stress. Try strains known for their relaxing effects to promote a peaceful state of mind.   Creativity and focus: Whether you're an artist, writer, chef, or entrepreneur, unlock your imagination with cannabis. Explore strains that stimulate creative thinking and provide a fresh perspective. And by opening new pathways in the brain, cannabis can even enhance your focus on projects. Physical and mental wellness: Cannabis is increasingly recognized for its potential to support overall well-being. The physical help it offers for people dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or discomfort can also provide emotional support. Cannabis is a natural alternative for people who need help falling asleep and can help combat depression and anxiety.   Enhanced social experiences: Tired of... --- - Published: 2024-07-03 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/cannabis-experience-tracking/ Achieving your ideal cannabis experience is very personal. Why? Your body, mind, and goals are unlike anyone else’s. Tracking your experiences can help you find products that are right for you. There are many strains, forms, and ways to use cannabis—and each can have a different effect on different individuals.  It can take some time and experimentation to discover your own preferences. Do not settle. Chase your bliss. And keep track of the strains you try, noting your likes and dislikes, so you have a record of your experiences. Tune Into Your Body Take a few minutes to write down how you’re feeling before using cannabis, including your mood and energy level. Are you trying to achieve anything specific by using cannabis? Pain relief? Creative flow? Help sleeping? Write that down, too. Start Low and Go Slow Anytime you’re trying a new cannabis product, start by consuming a low dose and wait to see how you feel before taking more. Keep in mind that different ways of intake will show effects at different rates. So, be patient to avoid using too much and ruining the experience. Remember, you can always take more (but you can’t take less). Keep a Log What were the positives? Anything you would have changed? Record your likes and dislikes to make sure you have an accurate record of your experience. Make sure to write down whether it achieved the specific effects you were looking for. Take Note of the Following:  Product/strain  Dominance (Indica, Sativa or Hybrid)  Top terpenes  Your intake method  Dosing  The effect (Mild, Moderate, Strong)  Your rating (How much you liked it)  Know Your Terpenes Why do we suggest keeping track of the top... --- - Published: 2024-06-28 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/medical-marijuana-vs-recreational-marijuana/ As medical and recreational use of cannabis becomes legal in more states, you may be wondering if there’s a difference. We’ll dig into medical vs recreational (also known as adult-use) here. This may blow your mind, but there really is no difference between cannabis for medical or recreational use. The terms “medical” and “recreational” are legal distinctions only, used by states to help shape regulations. Currently, 24 states have legalized recreational marijuana with another 17 states legalizing it for medical–use only. Cannabis laws are evolving, so be sure to check with your state for the most up-to-date age requirements, tax rate and possession amounts.   Medical vs Recreational: Same Plant, Different Purposes All cannabis products come from the same plant species, but that doesn’t mean all cannabis is the same. Not at all. The beautiful thing about the cannabis plant is that it comes in so many varieties — each with distinct compounds that offer a huge array of benefits. How CBD and THC Work in the Body The endocannabinoid system (ECS) helps control things like our mood, appetite, and how we feel pain. Phytocannabinoids found in cannabis, like THC and CBD, work naturally with this system because they act in a similar way to the endocannabinoids in our bodies. Both CBD and THC are proven to offer medical benefits. The recreational benefits of THC are well-known, of course, but new research supports several health benefits, too, like managing the side effects of chemotherapy, improving sleep quality and helping with chronic pain. Many strains with therapeutic benefits contain high levels of specific compounds called terpenes. For example, Beta Caryophyllene and Terpinolene are two terpenes known for reducing inflammation and relieving pain.... --- - Published: 2024-06-21 - Modified: 2024-07-26 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/news/elevate-unveils-new-name-for-its-dispensaries/ Elevate is changing the name of their dispensaries.

Read on for ways to kill a bad buzz. Maybe you’re impatient that your edible hasn’t kicked in yet, so you go ahead and have another. Or it’s your first time smoking a THC diamond and it hits you harder than you expected. Different strains of cannabis produce different effects, and even cannabis connoisseurs can experience unwanted side effects. And when that happens, you just want to come down off your high ASAP. Read on for ways to kill a bad buzz. What are the Side Effects of Cannabis? The typical effects of cannabis intoxication are generally pleasant and desirable. Most people enjoy the feelings of euphoria, happiness, relaxation and calmness. Consuming too much cannabis, trying out new strains or consuming cannabis that’s stronger than you’re used to can cause distressing side effects, like: Anxiety, panic, and paranoia Impaired judgment and coordination Dry mouth Sleepiness/drowsiness Inability to concentrate Elevated heart rate What to Do If You’re Feeling “Too High” There’s not one proven way to sober up quickly that will work for everyone, so you may want to try one or more of these to see what helps you: Relax and take deep breaths. Find a calm, quiet space without a lot of stimuli where you can focus on your breath. Remind yourself that you will only feel this way for a short amount of time. Drink water but avoid caffeine and alcohol because they may increase the absorption of the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. Use CBD to counter the effects of too much THC. For many people,... --- - Published: 2024-06-07 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/cannabis-for-pain-management/ Explore how medical cannabis may relieve chronic pain, and discover the best strains and terpenes for pain management. If you suffer from chronic pain, you are definitely not alone. The CDC estimates that chronic pain affects about 1 in 5 Americans, with an estimated cost of $560 billion for medical care and disability. For years, we’ve had plenty of anecdotal evidence that medical cannabis use can help control or relieve chronic pain. Now, the medical community has scientific studies to back up those claims. Read more to see the proof and understand which strains and terpenes may deliver the pain management you’re looking for. As always, talk to your healthcare provider about using medical cannabis for your condition. The Science Behind Cannabis for Pain Relief A 2017 investigation revealed the many benefits of medical cannabis from a dispensary member’s perspective. The 984 participants were legal members of medical cannabis dispensaries who had been diagnosed with chronic pain, including neuropathic (nerve) pain, back pain, arthritis, post-surgical pain, headaches and abdominal pain. Two-thirds of patients in the study reported pain relief as the primary benefit of cannabis use. Improved sleep was the second most reported benefit. 1 Another study showed a 64% reduction in opioid use among patients with chronic pain who used medical cannabis. These patients experienced fewer side effects and improved quality of life. 2 Unlike opioids, marijuana does not carry the risk of fatal overdose or the same unpleasant side effects. Terpenes with Pain-relieving Effects Terpenes are compounds that give plants their aromas and flavors. They’re also behind many of the specific effects provided by individual marijuana... --- - Published: 2024-05-31 - Modified: 2024-07-31 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/reviews/gary-poppins-strain/ Wondering what strain of cannabis to try next? Worry not. Elevate Cannabis has an award winning weed strain in our bag of tricks. Meet Gary Poppins. Gary Poppins is one of our favorite strains, and we were so happy that the judges in the Missouri Grower’s Cup agreed — awarding it first place in the flower category. What is the Missouri Grower's Cup? Missouri Grower’s Cup is the premier cannabis cultivation competition in Missouri, giving local growers and companies a platform to showcase their craftsmanship and innovative products. The judging is done by carefully chosen industry peers and the scoring process focuses on Taste, Look, Smell and High. What Kind of Weed Strain is Gary Poppins? All marijuana strains fall into three categories: Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. Each offers a unique effect and experience. Indica strains have a more relaxed, body-centric experience, while Sativa strains offer a creative boost with enhanced focus. Gary Poppins is a Hybrid strain, which means it’s a blend of Indica and Sativa genetics — with effects that have been described as uplifted, focused and energetic. Flavors Gary Poppins presents sweet, spicy, herbal flavors accompanied by a unique diesel residue that leaves a delightful tingling sensation. Lineage Gary Payton x Red Runtz Terpenes Myrcene: earthy, spicy scent with anti-anxiety properties Caryophyllene: eucalyptus and clove with anti-inflammatory properties Limonene: fresh and sweet and great for stress relief What Does Gary Poppins Feel Like?

Find your perfect flavor pairing, learn how to dial up the potency and how Cannabis Tea can be part of a balanced cannabis lifestyle. Does curling up with a good book and cuppa cannabis tea sound like your kind of rainy-day ritual? What about waking up with an invigorating, mood enhancing brew featuring your favorite weed strains? What about putting your pinkies up and feeling a little fancy while tipping back a classy beverage? You’re in the right place. In this post, we’re going to walk through the basics of cannabis tea, what it is and how to make it. Then we’ll give you some inspo for experimenting with flavors, effects, and ways to dial up potency—so you can find a cannabis tea recipe to elevate your daily life. What is Cannabis, or THC, Infused Tea? Put simply, cannabis tea is a drink containing both cannabis and tea. From fruity and floral herbals to bold blacks, bright greens, and more, tea paired with cannabis just makes sense. After all, cannabis and tea are both brimming with feel good and wellness properties. Why wouldn’t one enhance the other? Like other edibles and beverages, weed tea can kick in about 30 minutes after ingested, but it could take up to 2 hours for you to feel the effects. It all depends on you and your personal endocannabinoid system. So, remember the first rule of cannabis ingestion: start low, go slow. Effects can last anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. What is a Basic Cannabis Tea Recipe? Making cannabis tea is relatively easy—and you have some options depending on how much time you want to invest. The... --- - Published: 2024-05-17 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/guide-to-thc-dosage-for-edible-and-tinctures/ Our comprehensive guide to understanding how to properly dose with THC will help you eliminate the guesswork and get the effect you're looking for. Wondering how much THC is right for you? Finding your ideal dosage may take some experimentation, but here’s some basic info to help you get started. For many first-time cannabis users (or those who are coming back to it after some time away), the idea is to start low and go slow. How to Measure THC Dosage and Why It's Important THC is the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. We’re going to focus here on measurable THC, not the flower that you smoke or vape. It's a lot harder to quantify that amount since there are so many variables in the inhalation process. A good rule of thumb for smoking is that a single hit from a joint is around 2. 5-5 milligrams of THC. When you’re shopping for cannabis edibles, talk to your kindly Budtender about how to read the product packaging. It will list specific cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. Adding CBD to THC can enhance the medical benefits of cannabis edibles (like helping with pain or anxiety), while also decreasing the intensity of the psychoactive effects. Balanced edibles — those with a CBD:THC ratio of 1:1 — will be therapeutic and produce less of a high than edibles with just THC. Be sure to ask about the content of both THC and CBD when shopping for edibles. Should I Buy a Tincture or Edibles? There are advantages to both edibles and tinctures. They’re discreet and cost-effective when compared to smokable cannabis and offer precise dosages. Edibles come in... --- - Published: 2024-05-10 - Modified: 2024-07-26 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/what-is-an-infused-pre-roll-and-how-does-it-differ-from-a-regular-pre-roll/ If you’re curious about infused pre-rolls, we’ve got all the info you need to take your next smoke sesh to new heights. At a fine restaurant, infusing adds extra flavor and depth to whatever you’re eating. In a cocktail, infused spirits liven up classic recipes. In the same way, infusing a joint amplifies the flavor, aroma and intensity for a more elevated experience. What Does "Infused Joint" Mean? Let's face it — sometimes you want a ready-made joint. While a regular pre-roll is made by packing flower into rolling paper, an infused pre-roll goes next level with the addition of cannabis concentrates like hash, bubble hash, rosin, diamonds, distillate, kief, and terp sauce. If you want to blow your mind with a minimum of fuss — turn to an infused pre-roll. How are Infused Pre-rolls Made? The infusion in a pre-roll is an extra blast of concentrate added inside the joint and/or fused to the outside paper. A basic infusion involves spraying cannabis oil onto the flower, while a high-end option may be hand-rolled with diamonds mixed in with the flower. Infused pre-rolls are not only more potent, but also offer complex flavor and scent profiles. When you buy from Key, you’ll find that our infused pre-rolls are uniform with a consistent hit (you may not get the same consistency if you roll and infuse your own). Types of Infused Pre-rolls As with other cannabis products, you can stick with strains you know you love or try something totally different in an infused pre-roll. You have tons of options when it comes to flavors, strains, terpenes and more, but here’s a quick... --- - Published: 2024-05-03 - Modified: 2024-12-13 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/types-of-thc-gummies/ With all of the different styles of gummies, it can be confusing trying to choose the right ones. Learn what gummies are made of and how they're different. Gummies are quickly becoming one of the more popular ways to consume cannabis, and with advances in the manufacturing process, they’re also one of the most consistent when it comes to quality and potency. When you pop a gummy, you know exactly what you're getting—a precise amount of cannabis concentrate that's calibrated to give you the exact results you're looking for. There are tons of options when you’re shopping for gummies—various strengths, flavors, shapes, strains—giving you the ability to customize your experience. All of these choices may seem exciting or overwhelming (or both! ) but never fear, we’re here to help sort out your options. Different Types of Gummies Sativa vs Indica vs Hybrid All marijuana strains fall into three categories: Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. Each offers a unique effect and experience. As cannabis experts continue to cultivate new breeds, new strains continue to arise. For a creative boost with enhanced focus, look for a Sativa gummy. They come in all kinds of flavors, shapes, and dosages—making them a big hit with both beginners and experienced consumers. Some people who like Sativa gummies say they also help alleviate stress and fatigue. Indica gummies have a more relaxed, body-centric experience—they're great for unwinding or as a sleep aid. Since Indicas have these great relaxation properties, you might want to indulge after a long day for pain and muscle tension relief. Like Sativa gummies, Indica gummies come in a wide range of flavors and dosages. Hybrid strains are a blend of Indica... --- - Published: 2024-04-26 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/purple-strains-of-weed/ We review what makes strains purple, why so many people absolutely LOVE these purple strains, and how you can find some yummy purple stuff near you today! Harmony, creativity, extravagance, pride, peace, mystery and magic. A mesmerizing color, purple represents something different for everyone (almost always something good). It’s no surprise that most of us are so enthralled with purple weed strains. There's Purple Haze, but no Purple Rain (yet). For variations on the theme, there's Grape Ape and Sour Grapes. Our team at Key is here to guide you through all the purple weed strains, and throw in a little botany lesson, too. Purple cannabis may seem magical, but it’s really just a plant with the right combination of nature and nurture. Most purple weed comes from indica strains, which can often result in a mellower and more relaxed high.  The exact effects depend on the specific strain, though, so have some fun with it! What Makes a Purple Weed Strain? Remember back when you learned that chlorophyll makes plants green, and sunlight is needed to produce chlorophyll? That's basically what's happening with purple weed. The compound anthocyanin, which also gives blueberries and eggplants their distinct hues, makes some weed strains turn purple. Anthocyanin is affected by the pH of the plant and is usually overshadowed by chlorophyll for most of the growing season. Acidic plants show more red in color while alkaline plants are more blue. If there’s a neutral pH, you get the pretty purple hues that we all love. Some strains have a naturally higher concentration of active pigments besides chlorophyll — primarily carotenoids and anthocyanins. In darker and cooler environments, plants produce... --- - Published: 2024-04-20 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/what-is-the-meaning-of-420-and-where-did-it-come-from/ Learn the history of 420, what it means and how it became code for all things related to weed and cannabis culture. What does 420 mean and where did it come from? Rumors and myths abound when it comes to our highest holiday, April 20th, but the truth is that it started with a group of high school kids in California’s Marin County in the early 70s. The kids, known as the “Waldos,” had a poorly-drawn map leading to a marijuana plant that a friend was growing in the woods. Every day after class at 4:20, they would meet up to smoke weed and search for the marijuana plant. They never found it, but they started a ritual they referred to simply as “420”. Did the Grateful Dead help make 420 popular? The Waldos were friends and followers of the Grateful Dead, with invitations to party with the band backstage. Soon, their codeword for smoking marijuana became part of the band’s — and the counterculture’s — vernacular. How did 420 become synonymous with cannabis culture? In 1990, a group of Deadheads passed out a flyer at a music festival that said: “there’s something magical about getting ripped at 4:20, when you know your brothers and sisters all over the country and even the planet are lighting up and toking up right along with you. Now there’s something more grand than getting stoned at 4:20. Now we are talking about the day of celebration, the real time to get stoned, the grandmaster of all holidays, 4/20 or April 20. This is when you must get the day off work or school. ” One... --- - Published: 2024-04-12 - Modified: 2024-07-22 - URL: https://keycannabis.com/higher-ed/cannabis-tincture-benefits-common-uses/ Cannabis tinctures are versatile and incredibly easy to use.

The process involves extracting medicinal properties from herbs, berries, roots, leaves and other organic matter. Essentially, all the goodness from the plant goes from solid to liquid form, and you’ve got yourself a tincture. Cannabis tinctures today typically contain cannabinoids and terpenes extracted from the plant's buds. Some tinctures use alcohol, oils, or glycerin to extract these compounds. How Cannabis Tinctures are Applied or Consumed When you come into an Key Cannabis dispensary for a tincture, you'll see that some come with a squeeze dropper top. You can use this handy dropper, or get an oral syringe, to control the amount of cannabis tincture that you use with accuracy and precision.
