Cannaware Society Presents Cannatalk Vol. 10: How to be an educated consumer? moderated by Jeffrey Starr on Feb 22nd at 7pm ET via Zoom.

Today, a majority of the United States is home to either recreational or medical cannabis markets of some kind. Along with new cannabis legalization laws, an onrush of new products featuring cannabis in a multitude of forms has put the onus on consumers to know what they’re getting into. While those in the cannabis space may assume that cannabis consumers have by now at least learned some of the fundamentals about cannabis, according to a new report from cannabis data firm Oasis Intelligence, approximately 75% of people do not know much about cannabis. With terms such as “entourage effect”, “endocannabinoid system”, and “terpenes” still unfamiliar to many, despite the popularity of these terms being marketed by cannabis companies selling products.

Traditional consumers would seek out the strongest product as it often signifies it was better. However, with these growing numbers of products on the market today. It is important to know not all cannabis is the same for every user. Different strains have different effects, as some are bred for relaxation, some for anxiety and relief, and others for creativity, etc. As we prepare for adult-use legalization in New York, having this knowledge can make a major impact in your product decision which can often be rushed and focused on purchasing and not learning.

Our upcoming virtual discussion will feature a group of panelists who will breakdown the basic principles of the cannabis plants that will allow you to choose the best strain to achieve the effect you desire.
