How to read these families.
A family does not describe an effect, but a physical form and a unit of measurement. Flowers are dried tops. Hashes and resins are trichome concentrates, sieved cold or separated in water, without solvent. Oils are dilutions of cannabidiol in a vegetable oil. Vape covers extracts packaged for inhalation.
The upstream journey, though, is identical from one family to the next. The references come from European growers who cultivate varieties listed in the European Union common catalogue. Every batch then goes out for analysis at an independent laboratory before it goes online. HPLC chromatography establishes the real cannabinoid profile and verifies the Δ⁹-THC content, which stays below 0.30%. The measured values are reported as they are on the product page, without rounding. The six steps of the check are detailed in our testing method.
- Flowers
- Sold by the gram. CBD content is expressed as a percentage of mass: a 9% flower holds roughly 90 mg of cannabidiol per gram. The dominant terpene is named on the product page.
- Hashes and resins
- Also compared by the gram, at higher contents than flower. The separation method, cold or in water, and the pressing are stated reference by reference.
- Oils
- Dosed in milligrams, in a hemp, MCT or olive vegetable oil. This is the format where the same amount is easiest to repeat identically.
- Vape
- Extracts packaged for inhalation. The extraction method changes from one reference to the next: it is read on the batch certificate of analysis, never from the family name.
To choose, start from the unit: the gram compares flowers and resins with each other, the milligram tracks a repeatable amount from one time to the next. The molecules named on the product pages, CBD, CBG, CBN and terpenes, are documented one by one in the wiki.
