Sativa-leaning strains lean head-focused, energetic, and social — best for daytime use, creative work, hikes, or social settings. As with indica, the dominant terpene tells you more about how it will actually feel than the strain bucket alone.

Terpinolene is the rarest of the dominant terpenes — sweet, herbal, slightly piney. Tends to balance focus and relaxation rather than push hard either way; great for creative work or late-morning sessions. Stacks with limonene for daytime productivity.

Flower is the dried, cured bud — smoke or vape it. Onset is 30 seconds to 2 minutes; effects last 1-3 hours. Easiest format to dose precisely (one puff at a time) and the most "full-spectrum" option you can buy.

THCa is the cannabinoid found in raw, fresh flower. When heated (smoked, vaped, or baked), THCa decarboxylates into Delta-9 THC and becomes psychoactive — same high as state-legal marijuana. The federal compliance line is measured on Delta-9, which is why our flower can test 25% THCa and still be hemp on paper.

First time? Flower or vape: 1 puff, wait 15 minutes. Edible: 2.5-5mg, wait 2 full hours. Tincture: 5mg sublingual, wait 45 minutes. There is no fatal overdose — but there is a "way too high, miserable for 4 hours" experience that's very avoidable.
