What does a Dispensary in Indiana Sell?
Kind Seed Co is what you type in your browser when you are searching seed banks that ship to Indiana. But when you have the seeds you need, are going strong, and want something special a dispensary can be ideal. When you feel like some gel caps or sweet and savory edibles without having to become a crackerjack confectioner or require some topical or tincture or bath-bomb to soothe tired bones, you might be asking what a dispensary in Indiana sells. The truth is, they sell a lot and, as laws evolve and restrictions ease, the Cardinal State is in for a whole lot more.
CBD oil derived from hemp is legal here, but not that derived from THC-based plants. In successful attempts to sidestep the whole THC issue, delta-8 THC products are being sold in dispensaries throughout the state. Manufactured from CBD-based plant material, delta-8 THC is a psychoactive cannabinoid that does get you high. Regardless, dispensaries throughout Indiana sell edibles, tinctures, topicals, and concentrates in all legal varieties. This is apt since approximately eighty percent of Hoosiers are in support of full legalization for both recreational and medicinal purposes.
Dispensaries go with the flow, remaining legal while supplying the demand. For this reason, you can find flowers, a vast array of edible creations, hair and body treatments, as well as pet, child, and senior CBD products. Soon, shopping for the flowers you want won’t be an issue but until then, keep shopping, talk to the budtenders at your local dispensary and stay on top of what’s what.
Edibles
There are only so many subspecies of cannabis and only so many methods of extraction but there is one market where absolutely anything is possible and that is edibles. Since pre-civilization, food has been a cause for celebration. It is served at feasts and many natural plant and animal species contain compounds that assist in the celebration, cannabis being one of them.
Cooking your weed or extracts into edibles is a pursuit that can only be matched by the most creative of imaginations. If you can eat it, it can be made with a recreational or medicinal content. Ranging through the beginning from your basic gummies and capsules, to tinctures, lingual sprays, and oils, we move through drinks and candies, such as mints, chocolates, taffy, chips, and even full cakes.
Where the edibles market gets really exciting is when the chef or dedicated foodie is also a cannabis lover. When these two come together, they create a perfect storm and a torrent of cannabinoid creativity. In some states, restaurants and entire food districts are being dedicated to marijuana-infused and CBD-infused mouth-watering magic. Indiana can take a page from the Oaksterdam and San Francisco playbooks, where food tours, smoking, and toking coffee shop tours, and fine-dining experiences await your pot planning while leaving you little in your pocketbook for the dispensary.
Topicals
After a long day at work, it’s nice to kick back with something soothing. Some people enjoy a doobie, others a canna-beer, others still like a combination of products. Hey, to each one’s own, and when it’s fast and effective muscle or joint relief you’re looking for, something to sate those tired limbs and sore feet, topicals come to the rescue.
Just so there is no confusion, a topical will not get you high. The cannabinoid receptors which convert THC are not present in the outer dermis and therefore there is no psychotropic reaction, no matter how much THC you pack into your lotions. CBD, however, is the primary active ingredient in the average cannabis-infused creams or oils and, since cannabidiol is physically soothing, relaxing, and anti-inflammatory, these things work.
Throughout the state of Indiana, dispensaries sell a broad range of products aimed at particular physical struggles. CBD salves and pain rubs, CBD sticks, and full-spectrum relief roll-ons abound. Some of these products contain additional aloe vera, vitamin E, and other supplements that promote healthier skin. Muscle salves, lip balms, massage oils, and everything else you can imagine are at consumers’ fingertips. These products undergo strict testing and adhere to safety and labeling guidelines. They are transported according to Indiana state law and are dispensed in the same fashion.
Flowers
In discussing some of the things a dispensary sells, we have touched on a couple of the most common products including edibles and topicals. But every salve, cream, gummy, or brownie is infused with concentrates, and concentrates come from flowers. Though there is still some growing to do in Indiana state legislation, there are heaps of buds here and all of them fall within four main categories that include A, double-A, triple-A, and quad-A material.
A-grade weed is a classification reserved for industry and mild oils. AA is the category usually assigned to buds destined for extracts, but which are not pretty enough in any way to go to market. These first two categories make up the stuff that goes into clothing and textiles, fuels, plastics, and other industrial manufacturing purposes. Double-A goes into making the marvelous world of concentrates, though triple-A and quad-A buds do as well.
AAA buds are most commonly sold in bags around the world. Any grower with a little dedication and the right environment can turn a seed into a triple-A bud and be proud of their harvest. The prize, though, is found in buds of the AAAA variety. These exhibit perfect density, color, fragrance, and flavor. Their trichome production is on-point and they usually boast ideal terpene and cannabinoid arrays. It all depends on the grow and when everything goes right, a quad-A yield appears on the horizon.
Concentrates
As for concentrates, the two specific types are distillate and live resin. Where a distillate is produced through hot extraction, utilizing buds and trim, live resin is affected through extraction at cool temperatures, using the entire plant. Here we will attempt to delineate the difference, highlight some of the many forms of cannabis concentrate, and in what circumstances you can put some of this stuff together.
Vapers and dabbers are familiar with the flavors of live- resin vs distillate. Because heat degrades terpenes and cannabinoids, live resins such as budder, wax, diamonds, and crumble taste much better and deliver a more full-spectrum experience. Distillates, however, such as shatter, and hash oil, though they may not taste as fantastalicious as some live resins, are designed to deliver compound specific blasts, and they hit hard.
There are a couple of products which, though they do fall within concentrate categories, are a little ambiguous. One such product is hash. Though there are many forms, the dry-sift variety is kind of a concentrate of its own, and the charra or rub variety is as well. Bubble hash is a live resin product because it comes from flash-frozen and post-frozen trichome collection, and curing these products long term makes magic out of them. We do not recommend attempting some extract methodologies unless you have been trained or are working with trained professionals. Even cooking down some oil on the stove can bring the house down so please, be careful out there.
Testing Kits
From drug companies and cannabis product manufacturers employing a cannabinoids testing kit or opiates testing kit, to the health-care professional using a fentanyl testing kit to decrease opiate overdose numbers, drug testing is widespread and highly beneficial for many reasons. As with any mass-manufactured technology, there are a lot of companies out there making all sorts of products. When you need a test kit, whether it be for the lab, the recovery house, or the workplace, it pays to do your research.
Testing to better understand the chemical makeup of a substance is a practice as old as chemistry. In the state of Indiana, employers, officials, and health care workers employ a cocaine testing kit, a methamphetamine testing kit, or MDMA testing kit to address individual and group safety concerns in the workplace or professional environment, to discern who may need help or be weeded out and officials use them to prove chemical composition, such as in the case of drug evidence.
For Hoosiers who test positive in the workplace, Indiana offers many programs, such as information and education, rehabilitation for substance abuse issues, further on-the-job training, and mentorship opportunities for those who want to make a better life for themselves and their families. Second chances are fantastic news to a lot of people. Just take a look at the incredible decrease in Indiana residents incarcerated for minor cannabis crimes and who are now being released under the current US administration.
Vapes
There are enough vapes out there to make your head spin. When you just want to know the basics and what to expect, you can count on Kind Seed Co to give it to you straight, so let’s dive into one of the largest markets in the country and take a closer look at the vaporizer.
Conduction, convection, and hybrid are the three primary types of vapes out there. Conduction-based devices operate with a coil or element, directly heating your flowers or concentrate. Others heat your product in a convection oven, or indirectly. There are also those which offer a combination of the two. There are some vapes available where parts are interchangeable, such as where the atomizer is replaceable, and they all either have a body you plugin or charge for on-the-go use. Consumers can purchase a vape pen purely meant for flowers if that’s your thing. Others are meant strictly for use with concentrates, and there are those, like the Pax, which can handle it all. Some vaporizers take pellets, and some take a cartridge housing pre-loaded vape oil.
There are heaps of handheld vapes, the most common design, and there are table-top devices, popular in coffee shops and living-rooms alike, some even having been tested in space. The point is that you can take your appropriate medicine in a convenient and fast-acting manner when you employ vapes and concentrates.
Seed Starts
For growers familiar with starting a new run, seed starts are the way to get going. Choosing a female specimen to mother for consistent crop rotations can only come from planting and parenting natural seed starts. Once females are found, seeds can be feminized for simple growing and sale. Each plant sprout is just as destined to produce buds as the last, and seed starts allow you to control the grow from start to finish.
In case this is your first time, there are a few methods growers use to affect Germination, though there is one which time and time again, proves reliable and effective. Add a few drops of fish emulsion or rooting hormone to a glass of water, add seeds and soak overnight in the dark. Place a paper towel on a plate and pour seeds out over the top. Spread your seeds out so they do not touch each other and add a paper towel over the top, covering your delicate starts. Pour off the excess water and store the whole thing in a warm, dark space for a couple of days.
When your seeds are open and roots are growing, plant them tip-down and start parenting. A seedling needs high humidity, a clean environment, warmth, and light. Once the seedling establishes, turn up the lights and get ready for the vegging stage. Transplanting them might be necessary at this point, depending on the type of grow you’re doing, and once transplanted, allow some settling time before feeding.
Clones
If you have tried a few seeds, autos, feminized, or natural, and have fallen in love with weed as we most certainly have, then cloning cannabis might be something you’re ready to take a crack at. It really doesn't have to be scary, and there are pieces of equipment such as the aeroponic cloner which make life a whole lot easier for large-scale cloning operations.
Before cutting clones, you should take great care to clean every inch of the space you have designated for their cultivation. Once the space is spotless, start bringing in the stuff you need. Sharp scissors, rooting hormone, rockwool, or other mediums, mister, etc. The medium you choose is important, and where many growers still opt for the perlite/misting combination, rockwool and a cloner make a fantastic combination. The cloner creates the ideal environment for rooting to take place and the rockwool makes for an easy transplant once roots are established.
Clipping and cloning are performed by every major production house for several reasons. These methods save money, protect genetics, offer consistency, and manage it all in-house. Clones are available for purchase and delivery through online retailers, though we caution anyone curious about this as you can never be sure of the quality you’re going to receive. Cut your own, plant your own, and get good at taking care of things in a vertically integrated fashion.
Headshop Merchandise
If you happen to be passing by any of Indiana’s multiple smoke shops, chances are you’re going to find cigars, and other tobacco products, nicotine vapes, and accessories, humidors, storage containers, moisture packs, and everything you’d ever need to make your session that much more productive, easier, and more exciting. Kind Seed Co has the magic peas to plant, but when all is said and done in the grow space, you can rely on the Indiana head shop to have the merchandise you need to better enjoy your harvest.
Grinders and rolling papers, pipes, bongs, and customized down pipes are still some of the most popular items in today’s marijuana markets. Water cooled pipes and glass pipes aside, consumers also have an assortment of torches, and lighters, extra butane picks, scoops, packers, and screens. As concentrates become a bigger deal in America, there is a growing number of custom dab rigs out there, each boasting its own unique design. Also available in tobacco shops, smoke shops, and head shops throughout the state are industry information and a sense of community.
Though smoking is proven unhealthy, ultimately the individual chooses and, aside from some long-term and short-term health risks, people find smoking fun and entertaining. Those who consume cannabis products enjoy the different types of effects available through consuming different products in a variety of ways, evidenced by the many international awards ceremonies celebrating cannabis. All the apparatus you require is sitting in a head shop, and the people there are always happy to help.
Kratom
The first thing Hoosiers should know about kratom is that it has been illegal in the state of Indiana since 2014 and remains so today. Secondly, though this natural remedy is considered a blessing to many hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world, Mitragyna speciosa carries inherent health risks, including addiction and all its lovely physical and psychological pitfalls. But like anything, even cannabis, too much can harm our bodies and minds, and those who can enjoy kratom responsibly experience the same type of increased quality of life we see in most cannabis users.
The kratom tea and kratom capsules people enjoy every day in America and elsewhere are risky because they are so soothing, uplifting, and, when taken in large quantities, can cause organ toxicity, fatigue, lethargy, and psychosis. Paradoxically, kratom effects and its opioid/stimulant properties are widely used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Though the Kratom Trade Association has been attempting to reverse the schedule 1 hallucinogenic classification of the drug, kratom remains an illicit substance in the state of Indiana.
But much can be found online and, if you are thinking of having yourself delivered some Borneo Reserve, Bali Reserve, or Enhanced Malay, make sure you know what you’re getting into. Red, green, and white vein kratom is harvested from the mitragyna speciosa plant, their leaves processed into smokable, tea or pill form. Kratom is difficult to measure the long-term effects of, though it has even replaced opium in some parts of the world, and it’s strong stuff, so be careful.
Psilocybin Mushrooms
Throughout America, many people suffer all sorts of psychological affliction. Whether we are talking about soldiers arriving home from abroad with life-altering PTSD, a depressed teen on the edge of suicide, or everything in between, we all need some support sometimes. Growing alongside the study of psychedelics in the treatment of psychological and emotional turmoil is the use of psybin mushrooms in both home and clinical settings.
Hallucinogens such as magic mushrooms have been used for ages by tribespeople, medical professionals, and government agencies since their discovery. Opening gateways of the mind previously hidden, natural psychedelics, when used appropriately and with the right people, are capable of rewiring the brain quickly and effectively. Old traumas are reported to clear up with just a little work, the stuff which clouds the mind falls away and the universe is seen in such a way as to expand our thinking in ways that can only be experienced by the individual in question.
The point is, shrooms help. They are fun, inducing fits of uncontrollable laughter and light-heartedness. They can be trippy, tossing reality on its head, allowing users to penetrate infinite perception of time and space. After a big and successful trip, many folks choose to microdose or maintain trace levels of psilocybin in their system. They find it uplifting, long-term. It always pays to speak with your local psychedelics professionals before giving it too hard a go. In the right company, a mushroom experience can change your life for the better, however, the opposite can occur in mixed or negative company, so be clear on that first.
