Cannabis 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding the Basics

Cannabis can feel like a whole new world, but we’re here to make it simple. Whether you’re exploring cannabis for the first time or need a refresher, this guide covers everything you need to know to get started with confidence.

What Is Cannabis?

Cannabis is a plant that’s been used for centuries for medicinal and other purposes. Evidence has been found suggesting its use by humans dates back further than 10,000 years ago. It contains compounds called cannabinoids, with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) being the most well-known. THC is the compound that produces a “high” feeling, while CBD is non-intoxicating.

Ways to Enjoy Habitat Cannabis

  • Vaping: A smoother alternative to smoking that heats the active ingredients in cannabis oil or flower without combustion.
  • Edibles: Infused foods or drinks, offering a longer-lasting but delayed onset of effects.

What’s Your Dose?

If you’re new to cannabis, start low and go slow. This is true no matter how you choose to use it. Begin with a small dose (a single, small inhale or a single 5 mg Habitat gummy) and wait to see how it affects you before consuming more. Everyone’s body reacts differently, so finding your perfect dose takes a bit of patience.
