In Canada, the age in the majority of adult-use dispensaries is 18. 10. Alcohol extraction: A method of producing cannabis concentrates with alcohol. Alcohol is used to strip the plant material of its’ cannabinoids and terpenes. Alcohol is highly flammable, but it dissipates quickly as it evaporates. 11. Autoflower: A term that describes cannabis strains that contain internal flowering mechanisms that don’t rely on photoperiod. Autoflowering strains don’t require 12/12 to flower of 18/6 to remain in the vegetative stage. 12. Ash Catcher: An accessory for bongs and dab rigs in which an additional layer of filtration is added. In this case, the ash catcher catches any ash material that would otherwise be inhaled. 13. Anther: In botany, the anther is the portion of the stamen that contains pollen. This means that this is the male portion of the male cannabis plant. 14. Atomizer: A device that heats and vaporizes e-liquid or concentrates. The Ultimate Cannabis Dictionary 15. Aroma: The scent of cannabis-based products is also known as the aroma. The aroma of cannabis products is based on the terpenes that it's composed of. 16. Apex: This term refers to the top-most portion of the cannabis plant. When flowering, cannabis flowers have an apically-dominant flower - which is the apex of the plant. 17. Bud: In the world of cannabis, this term describes the flower of the marijuana plant. This is also a slang term that’s used to describe flowers that have been processed. 18. BHO: Also known as butane hash oil, this cannabis extract is created through the use of butane to extract cannabinoids from cannabis plants. 19. Bhang: This is a traditional cannabis-infused drink in India that are composed of marijuana, milk, tea, and spices. 20. Back-cross: This term refers to a method employed by cannabis breeders, in which they select two strains of the same genotype (strain), but portray slightly different phenotypes to create a stable offspring. 21. Budder: A type of cannabis concentrate that resembles butter. These concentrates are known to contain a high amount of terpenes. 22. Batch: This term refers to cannabis flowers, concentrates, and edibles that have not been packaged yet. Usually, this term is applied post-harvest or when a cannabis extract has completed its final round of refinement. 23. Beneficial Bacteria: This term describes the symbiotic relationship between the roots of cannabis and bacteria. This relationship provides cannabis plants with increased immunity from pests and disease, along with improved nutrient uptake. The bacteria are found in the cannabis roots, where they enjoy a constant source of food. 24. Blasting: This term is a slang word for extracting cannabinoids from marijuana plants. Normally, it describes amateur concentrate producers who “blast” butane through metal pipes filled with cannabis in their backyard. Blasting is usually referenced with “backyard blasting.” 25. Breeder: A person or group that specializes in creating and improving cannabis strains. Breeders commonly produce seeds and sell them for financial gain. 26. Butane: The primary chemical compound that’s used to produce cannabis concentrates. Butane is a solvent which strips the cannabis plant of cannabinoid and terpenes. Butane is considered highly flammable and is incredibly dangerous to use when not contained in a closed-loop system. 27. Bong: A device that’s made from glass or acrylic that’s used to inhale large amounts of cannabis smoke. Bongs contain a large base that’s filled with water to filter the smoke, which increases a persons’ ability to inhale more smoke than pipes and joints. These smoking devices can range from 1-foot to 4-feet - and beyond. 28. Blunt: Also known as a cannabis cigar, blunts are made from emptied cigars or cigarillos. The tobacco is emptied and replaced with cannabis, in which it’s re-rolled and smoked. These are much larger than joints and are sufficient for larger groups to indulge in. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER | Learn Sativa Institute Learn Sativa Institute of Cannabis 29. Bananas: A cultivator’s slang term that describes hermaphroditism. When a female cannabis plant is stressed, it can produce male flowers alongside the female flowers. This is known as a hermaphrodite and is highly dangerous for a grow room because the male flower can produce viable pollen. When a hermaphrodite occurs, the male flower looks like a small banana - hence the name. 30. Bowl: This is where cannabis is placed in a pipe, bubbler, or bong. They are removable in bongs and act as the carb. Bowls come in large or small sizes, which allow users to smoke large or small amounts of cannabis. 31. Bubble Hash: A cannabis concentrate that’s produced via the ice-water extraction technique. This is a solventless marijuana product and consists only of terpenes and THC. It’s called bubble hash because it resembles hash, but bubbles when heated. 32. Buffer: A term that describes a weak or strong acid/base that will lessen the likelihood of a drastic pH change. A buffer is commonly used when preparing nutrient solutions for cannabis crops. Natural elements can also be buffers, such as lime, and can be mixed into the soil to reduce drastic pH swings. 33. Buzz: A general term to describe the sensation of feeling slightly high. A user that takes a single hit of mildly-potent cannabis will feel relatively buzzed, but not stoned. 34. Banger: A banger is a platform where cannabis concentrates are placed to be dabbed. They are typically made from quartz, ceramic, or titanium due to their ability to withstand incredible levels of heat. When dabbing, portable torches are used to heat up the banger, where marijuana extracts are placed for dabbing. 35. Battery: A power source for vaporizers. The battery in vaporizers is usually in the form of a vape pen. Batteries come in different wattages and voltages which allow different temperatures to reach the ideal vaporization point. 36. Borosilicate: This type of glass is commonly used when producing cannabis products, such as pipes, bubblers, and bongs. The reason why these accessories are used is that borosilicate glass is very resistant to high temperatures. 37. Bract: This is a modified scale or leaf which is normally found in cannabis flowers. These are generally considered interchangeable with the calyx. 38. Bubbler: A handheld device that’s similar to a bong because it contains water in its base. They are known to be a hybrid between a glass pipe and a glass bong. 39. Budtender: A worker in a cannabis dispensary that specializes in cannabis products. They are highly informative to help customers choose marijuana strains that will be to their liking. Budtenders are required to know every facet of cannabis strains - especially the medicinal benefits. 40. Cannabis: This term describes a number of aspects in the cannabis industry. Cannabis can be in reference to the species, such as Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. It can also be used when describing anything cannabis-related, such as the cannabis flower or cannabis concentrate. 3 The Ultimate Cannabis Dictionary 41. Couch-lock: A slang term for the sleepy feeling after consuming cannabis - especially the Indica variety. This term is used when a person is unable to get up and has lost all sense of motivation. Normally, when someone is couch-locked, they are unable to get up from where they are sitting. 42. CB1: The cannabinoid receptor group 1 is part of the overall endocannabinoid system. It contains a series of receptors that are found in white blood cells, nerve cells, the spleen, the endocrine gland; as well as the reproductive, gastrointestinal, and urinary tracts. The CB1 receptor group plays a significant role in the way THC interacts with the human body. 43. CB2: The cannabinoid receptor group 2 is the second part of the endocannabinoid system. These receptors are found in the immune system and the central nervous system.

Since its move from the illicit market, to the legalization of medicinal cannabis in 1996, and continued positive shifts of perceptions of cannabis, there has been exponential growth in the industry. The Office of Business Research and Analysis (OBRA) has analyzed the general impact of the cannabis industry in San Diego County. Throughout this research, OBRA sought to find how adult-use and medicinal cannabis sales increases in revenue and influences the community regarding finances, police enforcement, cannabis license types, public health, and social equity. The cannabis industry yields a considerable amount of revenue to municipalities from cannabis city taxes. Data from public records requests from the cities of San Diego, La Mesa, and Vista illustrate the amount of money by quarter that each city has brought in since their legalization of medicinal cannabis and or adult-use cannabis.
