Strains
Indica Strains
The Indica high is most often described as a pleasant body buzz. Indicas are great for relaxation, stress relief and for an overall sense of calm and serenity. Marijuana Indicas are also very effective for overall body pain relief and often used in the treatment of insomnia. They are the late evening choice of many users as an all night sleep aid. A few pure Indica strains are very potent in THC and will cause the “couch lock” effect, enabling the user to simply sit still and enjoy the experience of the strain.
Sativa Strains
The Sativa effects are often characterized as uplifting and energetic. The effects of Sativa marijuana are mostly cerebral. They give a feeling of optimism and well being, as well as providing a good measure of pain relief for certain symptoms. A few pure Sativas are also very high in THC content. They are known to have a quite spacey or hallucinogenic effect. Sativas are a good choice for daytime users.
Hybrid Strains
Hybrids are a cross between an Indica and Sativa marijuana plant. Hybrids are more complex in their flavor and effects, usually giving an “uplifting high” from the Sativa and a “body buzz” from the Indica. Hybrids are available in the entire spectrum, there are 30% Sativa – 70% Indica strains, 80% Sativa – 20% Indica strains and many 50% – 50% combinations as well as others.
Hashish
Hashish is made from cannabinoid-rich glandular hairs known as trichomes, as well as varying amounts of cannabis flower and leaf fragments. Mechanical separation methods use physical action to remove the trichomes from the plant. The resulting powder, referred to as “Kief,” is compressed with the aid of heat into blocks of Hashish. OCMEDS has perfected the Blonde Hash process that was originally founded by the Moroccans. The Moroccan’s named their Hashish “Blonde Hash” due to the color of the Hashish being brown or blonde.
Edibles
Edibles are medical marijuana infused food items. Edibles contain different levels of THC concentration making them easy to measure consumption. They come in a variety of forms including, drinks, candy bars, lollipops, pastries, baked items, ice cream and even gum. OCMEDS has a safe food handling certificate and bakes all edibles daily in a commercial kitchen. All edibles come in many different flavors and potency levels.
