While many in the United States are beginning to learn about the health benefits of cannabis, historians believe that people have been using this plant for 5,000 years! Cannabis remains popular for its many uses, which include:

• Relieving pain
• Increasing relaxation
• Boosting creativity
• Reducing stress
• Stimulating appetite

Most cannabis plants contain a mixture of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The THC in a cannabis plant produces psychoactive effects, inducing a high. A cannabis plant’s CBD isn’t psychoactive and has calming effects and potential pain relief properties.

Marijuana growers can and do produce plants with little to no THC and high amounts of CBD, or vice versa. In Arlington, WA, you can find a range of cannabis strains with varying levels of CBD and THC.

The main difference between vaping vs. smoking cannabis is the way they’re consumed. Smoking cannabis involves burning flower. Vaping cannabis heats flower at lower temperatures without burning it. Many people who vape cannabis enjoy the enhanced flavor and discreteness.
