The Terpenes & Compounds of the Marijuana Plant

⚛COMPOUNDS & MOLECULAR  STRUCTURES⚛ 

WHAT ARE THEY? 


By dictionary definition, a compound is a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements. However, a molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that has all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance.  Everything is made up of compounds and molecules. The earth, fragments of space, people, and most importantly, WEED! 

Yes, even the marijuana plant includes compounds and molecules. With these compounds and molecules, the marijuana plant can grow to have different properties in look, taste, and effects on the human body. The 3 main types of marijuana plants include Savita's, Indica's, and Hybrids.  But exactly what are they? Lets take a deeper dive.

SATIVAS 

Sativa's are described as the more invigorating. energetic, and uplifting sub species of cannabis. Their outward appearance includes long stems with more narrow leaves. I would like to think that they're colors of fall but unfortunately they're not. However, these are the basics of the sativa species.


INDICAS

Indica's are described as the more relaxing, mellow, and sedative sub species of cannabis. Their outward appearance includes short stems with stubby leaves. I would like to think that they're colors of a poisonous purple mushroom but unfortunately they're not. However, these are the basics of the Indica species. 


HYBRIDS

Hybrids are described as the perfect mix of invigorating, relaxing, energetic, mellow, uplifting, and sedative sub species of cannabis. Hybrids are the ultimate test tube baby mixes of Sativa's and Indica's. Their outward appearance can vary between common characteristics of both the sativa and Indica plant.  I would like to think that they're the colors of a standard green marijuana plant but unfortunately, that's how every strain of cannabis looks like on the outside. However, these are the basics of the Hybrid species.

Now that we've covered the basic types of strains, we can take a deeper dive into what each strain has to offer the world. Remember the molecules and compounds from earlier? Well for each strain of cannabis, there's a variety of compounds and molecules that span from the subspecies. Each has their own properties in regards to the effects that it can cause on the human mind and body. In this segment, we'll cover these unique compounds and molecules.

The dictionary term for this system of compounds and molecules is called TERPENES!  Lets go over all the different terpenes and effects they carry through their respective cannabis sub species;

My Personal Experience As a Bud Tender

Working as a Bud Tender in the corporate cannabis industry was a lot different than I thought it would be.  I wanted to break into the industry as a Cannabis Sales Representative and decided that the best way for me to follow that path would be to work at a Medical Dispensary. I thought that it would be a great learning opportunity and a strong base for me to start with. After working at the dispensary for a month I realized just how low leaning  occupations like this could be. It was no different than what you'd find at your typical retail center. Cash registers, useless managers, bogus work schedules that weren't even organized, and even lazier coworkers.  Working for the medical cannabis industry was by far one of the best ideas I've had in a long while. The only problem is working something as low on the food chain as a Budtender. Positions  like that could really discourage those who are seeking to join the industry.  The gig as a clinical account represent...

Reviews by Pancho @ "Stop Being Niggardly" By Karen Hunter

🙉Stop Being Niggardly🙉 In this small-sized book, the author Karen Hunter ties a lot of great points to how the African American community fails themselves through the common things that have been done over centuries. Hunter uses a list of things that were originally written by Nannie Burroughs to compare and contrast just how far black people as a whole have come since the ending of slavery.  During her statements, she holds absolutely nothing back - reflecting not only on her upbringing but the upbringing of other black people through her own eyes.  Hunter shows the audience a true but heartbreaking reality of black communities, their intentions, and their small goals.  Oftentimes, these things that African American communities are so used to are the exact same thing that continues to plague more and more of the generations being brought up. In the middle of the book, a brief historical moment is explained how some of the most notorious black figures harmed their peopl...
