Alphabet Aerobics: THC and CBD
Colorado Grow Company Deciphers What All the Letters Mean
There are two main cannabinoids in marijuana plants. First is THC , or tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound in cannabis that most people who partake are very familiar with. THC is what you are looking for if you are interested in the brain buzz.
CBD or cannabidiol is the lesser known partner in crime than THC, but is making waves in marijuana news. CBD’s do not have any mind bending properties just 100% therapeutic benefit. The absence of psychoactive properties make CBD ingestion perfect for children or elderly who want the health perks without any head effects. CBD’s are known to counteract anxiety, help with relaxation, are anti-inflammatory, and decrease pain and nausea.
Colorado Grow Company is your one stop shop for all things THC and CBD. We always stock products that have perfect blends of both THC and CBD for your medicinal or recreational use. Current products include:
- Super CBD Blueberry Chill Pills are 10mg THC with 100mg CBD per candy.

- Harlequin Strain is 3.19mg of THC and 7.51mg of CBD. From the strain experts at Leafly: “Harlequin is a 75/25sativa-dominant strain renowned for its reliable expression of CBD. A descendant of Colombian Gold, a Nepali indica, and Thai, and Swiss landrace strains, you can depend on Harlequin to provide clear-headed, alert sativa effects. Unlike most high-CBD strains, Harlequin almost always develops a CBD:THC ratio of 5:2, making this strain one of the most effective out there for treatment of pain and anxiety, as CBD counteracts THC’s paranoia while amplifying its painkilling properties. Flavors can range from earthy musk to sweet mango, but without a doubt, what draws crowds to Harlequin is its ability to relax without sedation, and to relieve without intoxication.”

The city of Durango loves its four legged friends! Dogs and cats are definitely a big part of the family around here. Pets are attracted to all the stinky stuff we medicate with. Whether it is your fresh stash or potent edibles; dogs and cats can experience mild to severe toxicity from marijuana. While most cases of cannabis poisoning is the direct result of eating edibles, it is possible for Fido to get sick from second hand smoke.
Kylie states that symptoms in dogs can vary from stumbling and staggering to decreased heartrate, incontinence and glossy eyes. If a pooch eats enough there will be damage to the kidneys and liver that is only diagnosed through bloodwork. Treatment for pet cannabis overdose includes a lot of supportive care. This includes hydration via IV therapy and making the pet comfortable. With large doses of THC ingested, the Veterinarian’s will induce vomiting to purge the system.
Bottom line: Love your pets- Keep your stash away from them. Store all of your THC products high and out of reach from our furry friends. If you suspect accidental ingestion or overdose, contact your vet right away. Vets are ready to help and here in Colorado, they are very experienced in this area of treatment.
It is generally accepted in the world of cannabis that there are three strains: Cannabis Indica, Cannabis Sativa and the less familiar Cannabis Ruderalis.
Sativa is native to the warmer climates of South America, Central America, Mexico, and Southeast Asia. The Sativa plant is much taller and less dense than the Indica plant. It has longer, narrower leaves. In warm environments, the plant takes on a reddish hue. The aroma of this plant is lighter and fruitier.
Whether you hop on the Indica or Sativa train or your jam is a well-blended mix, be sure to visit Colorado Grow Company, located in downtown Durango, Colorado, for all of your cannabis and accessory needs.
A dab is a small amount of concentrated cannabis extract. Dabs are the pure cannabinoids and THC that have been separated from the vegetative part of the cannabis plant using a solvent by a professional extractor. Dabs come in many flavors and consistencies. In general, concentrates are more potent than smoking weed.
Wax includes Crumble and Budder. This family of dabs are opaque and vary in a spectrum of honey colors. Wax texture is slick and sticky. Crumble is gritty and not sticky. Budder is smooth, creamy and silky.
There are many benefits of dabbing. Dabbing is easy on the lungs. It is excellent for medical patients who need a concentrated dose of medicine that is efficient and effective. Medical patients can easily consume the amount of potent medicine needed, whereas if they only had the option of smoking flowers it would not be feasible. Dabbing in Durango is quick, easy and as it is concentrated it can be budget conscious. Whether your reason for dabbing is hopping on the trend, trying a new flavor or for a heightened high, visit Colorado Grow Company, located in downtown Durango, Colorado, for all of your concentrate and accessory needs.
Before marijuana was legalized for medical purposes and as lab testing continues to evolve, it was nearly impossible to determine the potency of a homemade batch of baked goods. Edibles purchased from legal recreation marijuana resellers, like Colorado Grow Company, now we have bottles and jars of cookies, gummies, cakes, hard candies, chocolate bars and more. Each package has exact amounts of the THC content listed and described in milligrams on each pack, ranging from 2.5mg to 10mg per piece. Legalization has made cannabis edibles much safer, but it’s also introducing them to a whole new audience, many of whom have no idea what to expect.
Edibles are a very popular alternative to smoking cannabis. They can be a discreet and easy way to consume cannabis, especially for those that do not like to smoke or want to consume marijuana in places here you cannot smoke. Edibles come in a variety of types and can meet virtually anyone’s taste or wants. From mints to cookies, gummies to lollipops and everything in between you can virtually find an edible to meet your needs. Edibles, like those made by 
The effects of consuming edibles verses smoking cannabis vary depending upon the person. Smoking marijuana typically affects users immediately, but also begins to diminish immediately. Marijuana edibles typically take longer to start working; however the effects can last between 4 to 12 hours depending on the dose. At Colorado Grow Company we always recommend you start in low dosages and go slow. New users or people with smaller frames might find 10 milligrams is too potent, and therefore might be better off starting with 5 milligrams. Always remember to read the packaging, as a single chocolate bar can contain as much as 100 milligrams of THC and is meant to consume in multiple sittings.
