          You may see terms such as “live resin,” “solventless hash,” or “nano-emulsified” in product names. These describe aspects of the extract or formulation; they don’t tell you everything about a product or predict your individual experience. So, if you're curious about a term our team can help you find the relevant label information and manufacturer’s description.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Before choosing, check the serving size, THC per serving, ingredients, and allergens—particularly if you have dietary restrictions. A flavor name doesn’t replace the ingredient list.

         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Check the label to understand how much THC is in each portion and in the entire package.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

          Each beverage has its own serving information. Check the THC per serving, servings per container, and total THC rather than assuming every can contains the same amount or that one can always equals one serving, or is a necessary full serving for you. Hey, you may want to share!

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

            How much is listed for the entire package?

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Does the label list CBD, CBN, CBG, or another cannabinoid?

          Products with different cannabinoid ratios aren’t interchangeable. Our team can explain the information on the label and help you compare options without promising a particular effect.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Edibles can take time to produce effects, and timing varies by person and product. Follow the product directions and allow time for your edible to kick in before you consider more.
