Welcome to the Jay’s Downtown guide to cannabis basics—built for Sterling, by people who care. Whether you’re brand new or just need a refresher, we’ve got you covered with down-to-earth definitions and no-nonsense language.
Flower
The classic. “Flower” is the dried, trimmed bud of the cannabis plant—what most people think of when they think weed. It’s usually smoked or vaporized. Comes in jars, pouches, or pre-rolls (more on those next).
Pre-roll
Pre-rolled joints. Rolled up, ready to light, and easy to enjoy. Great if you’re new or don’t want to mess with grinders and rolling papers.
Concentrates
Super-potent products made by extracting the good stuff (cannabinoids and terpenes) from the plant. Think wax, shatter, live resin, rosin. Not for beginners—unless you’ve got a guide (like us).
Edibles
Infused treats like gummies, chocolates, and drinks. They hit different—slower to start, longer to last. Always “start low, go slow.”
Topicals
Lotions, balms, and creams you apply to your skin. Non-intoxicating. Popular for targeted relief.
Tinctures
Liquid drops taken under the tongue or added to food. They’re discreet, precise, and easy to dose.
THC & CBD
THC is the one that gets you high.
CBD doesn’t—but it’s popular for those looking for calm without the fog.
At Jay’s, we offer both, plus blends for folks who want balance.
Indica, Sativa, Hybrid
Indica: Often described as relaxing—“in-da-couch.”
Sativa: Thought to be more uplifting.
Hybrid: A little of both.
Truth is, effects depend more on the product’s full profile. That’s why we go beyond labels.
Terpenes
They give cannabis its aroma and flavor—think citrus, pine, diesel. But terpenes also shape how a product makes you feel. We’ll help you find the right ones.
Microdosing
Taking small amounts—just enough to feel something without overdoing it. Good for new users or folks wanting gentle support.
