What does a Dispensary in Kansas Sell?
At this point, we hope it is clear what you can expect from our Weed Seeds seed banks that ship to Kansas. Flying through the air right now are thousands of seeds, destined for soils and collections all over the country and we ship to Kansas as well. But when you have your prescription and your medical card and you’re off to see what’s out there, let us help paint a picture of what you might expect.
Walking into a dispensary in Kansas, you will find flowers, oils, tinctures, topicals, and edibles. You will also find an array of apparatus for a more creative means to take your medicine. There are a few rules to follow upon entering one of these establishments and the budtenders aren’t afraid to tell you. Do not touch the products without assistance and never lay your hands on a flower. Also, please remain respectful of others and remember that strain descriptions don’t describe every experience, so keep an open mind.
When you shop in these places, the people working behind the counter and who are coming out to greet you know what they are talking about and if they don’t, you’ll oftentimes see them reaching out to a co-worker or checking their catalog to be certain. Many of these folks have experience with many types of products, if not with some particular strains they carry, so lean in and don’t be afraid to learn something new.
Edibles
You may have heard of or tried gummies, candies, or even drinks infused with cannabis extracts. They are designed with enthusiasm, manufactured with love, and sure to knock you on your ass. These are edibles and, aside from some wacky taffy chewies or capsules, this category of pot products separates the mice from the maniacs and proves that imagination is the only limit to cannabis.
We try to paint a heavy picture because, whether of the recreational, medical, or hybrid variety, edibles are known for being hard-hitting. This is due to a combination of the process of decarboxylation and the method of delivery. Ready-to-go THC, such as the 11-hydroxy which results from the heating process, is quickly absorbed through the stomach, attaching itself to cannabinoid receptors in different ways than through the respiratory and pulmonary systems. Like many types of food as there are, there are that many possible edibles, so use your imagination.
Popular for their convenience and discrete nature amongst medicinal communities trying to steer clear of the stinky puffs, edibles make marvelous medicinals. CBD, CBG, and delta-8 work quickly to soothe Kansas communities in need of relief. When these products are taken in moderation, there have been no reported negative side effects yet. It has been hundreds, if not thousands of years that humans have been using pot products so talk to the pros for advice about how this all-natural gift from mother nature can play a role in your wellness.
Topicals
For those who enjoy the discrete nature of edibles to take care of their inner maladies, topicals are often an apt accompaniment to help with the surface stuff. Topicals, such as salves, oils, and ointments have been used for centuries or more in the treatment of skin conditions ranging from dryness to sores. Though cannabis topicals are not meant for open wounds, they are known for their ability to ease pain and inflammation.
Topicals have shown superior promise for those suffering from arthritis and other joint pains, muscle aches, and tendon troubles. If you have dry skin topicals can assist with rejuvenation. Because of the way cannabinoids bind to their receptors in our skin, topicals will not get you high, no matter how much you rub on. Overdo it, however, and you may find yourself with more problems, but in using these products responsibly, many find incredible relief. Lotions and creams are commonly found, as are sprays, rubs, and there are transdermal patches as well, though these are not as common as the rest.
For those in need of instant or even deep tissue relief, topicals are a fitting choice. These products undergo rigorous testing for safety, labeling, and distribution, and quality control is generally performed both at manufacturer and retailer levels. As with all cannabis products, there are a lot of differing strengths of topical and many are formulated for different purposes. If you take advantage of the knowledge that exists within the experts behind the counter, chances are you will learn something valuable about this little green plant and how its healing powers come without nasty side effects.
Flowers
If you’ve ever sat around and pondered pot with your friends, comparing the buds you bought to the buds of your buddies, chances are you’ve noticed differences which, though they may be minor, point to one being better than the rest. This is the premise of flower classification and, aside from the AAA and Quad-A buds you’ve been used to, there are another couple of categories which deserve recognition.
If AAAA is the top of the heap, the gold-medal winner, the cream of the crop, then A-grade weed must be dirt, right? Wrong. A-grade weed is necessary for clothing, building supplies, lesser oils, and light concentrates. Where A-grade weed is industrial stuff, AA material is common for both extraction and industry, and this is also where we find the sort of lowest form of bud you might use for concentrates. Triple-A bud is the stuff many press fresh for rosin or use in live resin extraction. It is also the first level of bud you’ll see on shelves in dispensaries.
The bud to beat them all though is the Quad-A bud. This flower is perfectly grown, ideally harvested, and perfectly cured. This weed exhibits impressive, grass-free fragrances and flavors, is smooth, satisfying, and possibly award-winning. These are the four primary classifications of cannabis plant material and buds. Take a look the next time you pick up your bag. See if you can tell the difference between a Triple-A and Quad-A harvest.
Concentrates
Those grade-A, AA and AAA buds that go into making up the majority of the cannabis classification system also go into making some of the most innovative and impressive concentrates. Either dry-sifted, distillate, or from live resin extraction, concentrates are crushing, no matter what their purposes. High-THC, high-CBD, balanced, delta-8, or otherwise, concentrates are dominating the weed world, and people all over the state of Kansas are getting hip to healing with these sticky selections.
Folks throughout Kansas choose concentrates because they work and they work fast. Forms of distillate, a heat-extraction process, include shatter, and certain forms of hash oil. Live resins are created through butane or CO2 cold-extraction and take many forms, such as budder, wax, crumble, and sugar. Hash and bubble hash are also live concentrates, though a minimal effort is necessary, only that required to separate trichomes from plant material, either by washing or sifting flash-frozen buds.
Pack your vape pen for an afternoon visiting the Wichita or McPherson Museums, take in the grasslands and natural landscapes, or enjoy walking tours, boutique dining experiences, festivals, or a show. Sit at home with some of the Buffalo State’s finest diamonds, or dabs and hotbox your way to oblivion, if that’s what you need. Throughout Kansas, many concentrates grace dispensary shelves, so regardless of how hopeless a situation it seems, fast and effective relief is out there.
Testing Kits
You might be wondering why we might want to touch on test kits. On the one hand, we’d like to take a moment to discuss what a cannabinoids testing kit means to the cannabis industry in Kansas and, by extension, America. What we’d also like to do is point out the side of single-use drug testing kits, such as an MDMA testing kit, or cocaine testing kit, which boasts potential beyond simple show and tell.
First, let’s talk about narcotics and their threat to American populations. The opioid epidemic is everywhere. More people are affected by heroin and fentanyl than by COVID-19. But amid this misery, there are heroes, and sometimes it’s a fentanyl testing kit or other opiates testing kit administered at the right time which saves a life. Single-use testing kits are also used as protective measures and for evidentiary value. For example, testing for amphetamines is common in prisons and recovery houses and a spot check methamphetamine testing kit can mean the difference between someone having an opportunity to get a bed they want or dying in the street.
On a lighter note, we are here for the wonderful world of cannabis and all its freedom-inspired creations. The products you buy in stores, whether buds, concentrates, oils, topicals, glass products, or anything else, have all undergone testing. The smokable and skin-soothing things you sweat for have been tested at the molecular level so that retail personnel can explain them to you.
Vapes
From the body to the atomizer to the cartridge filled with the concentrate or flower of your choice, the vaporizer is a wonderful invention. It is so widely appreciated that people all over the world use millions of devices every single day, purchase more, stock up on replacement parts, or go for broke and get a good one. Depending on your tastes and no matter what type of product you prefer to puff, there is guaranteed to be a vape pen out there with your name on it.
Rising in popularity over the past few years is the weird and wonderful world of vape oil. Though much controversy surrounds the safety of chemical additives like flavorings and terpene boosters, and the sustainability of disposable devices is a travesty, there is clean vape oil you can buy to fill your device with. Saving the scratch for a high-quality vaporizer that delivers your medicine properly and at a safe temperature is also no dummy’s move.
However you choose to roll, the vaporizer is a well-loved innovation, and for good reason. Easy to use, simple to clean, versatile and inconspicuous, convenient and helpful, the vape is trending big time. The cannabis electronics industry has come a long way since the Volcano and, though there is absolutely nothing wrong with one of the most awarded vapes in the land, consumers do have a whole world of well-designed, expertly assembled ride along puffers to choose from.
Seed Starts
For the wild world of weed to flourish as it does, there must be a seed. That seed must enjoy the right cooperating conditions for germination to occur, for it to turn into a seedling and for that little plant sprout to become the mind-blowing bud it’s destined to be. Germination requires warmth, moisture, and air. Get these three things right and your seeds will pop open in no time. Before your eyes, the taproots will extend and your seeds will be ready for planting.
It is important to get roots developing fast and strong. For this, you need a little moisture, ample exposure to air, and some very basic nutrients. Once you become familiar with seed starts, how to raise them will be obvious, but in the meantime, wait to feed them until they establish. This will ensure your seedlings’ survival while early feeding roots develop and, once they do, there are recipes for both vegging and flowering solutions available out there.
People germinate seeds in all sorts of ways, but it is what you do with them afterward that has the most impact on the overall health of your crop. Choosing the medium is critical, and will determine how you treat your plants, how you feed them, and how you monitor their cation exchange capacity. Autoflowers do best by sowing them directly into living soil. Some growers opt for germinating into rock wool for simple transplant into DWC systems. Others use a free-draining, non-nutritive starter to get seedlings going before transplanting to a vegging mix.
Clones
When cannabis cultivation becomes second nature, when you’ve got the environment thing figured out, and you are rolling right along, the next level to growing is cutting clones. Cloning allows you to secure and propagate specific females, over and over again. When you grow a few regular seeds and find the girls you wish to keep, as long as you maintain your cloning routines, that specimen’s genetics can last forever.
Clones need high humidity and little moisture at the cut site. For roots to emerge from the base of your new cutting, the site needs to be dried, exposed to air, and rooting hormone helps boost beginnings. Clip the plant, dip it in powder or your solution and plant them into a perlite/sand mixture and mist consistently. If you don’t have a mister, a bubble or dome top will help trap humidity, but airflow is still imperative. Some growers use an aeroponic cloner. It provides an ideal and self-contained environment for clones, to boost success rates.
Clones are the way to go for en-masse growers, such as our hemp farmers and large-scale medicinal producers in Kansas state. Copycat cannabis cuttings make it easier to manage crop rotation and consumers definitely like consistency, both can be achieved by cloning cannabis. Get to know your strain, protect the genetics you’ve been working on, and make your life easier once you find the phenotypes you want to continue growing. The biggest bonus to clones is that each one of your plants is identical to the next.
Headshop Merchandise
Boutique shops have been serving specialized markets since the birth of what we now call community. Take a look at Lawrence, Prairie Park, Overland Village, or Topeka and you’ll find shops catering to a very specific clientele. The smoke shop or head shop in Kansas is just that type of business. Serving clients who love to puff, these places serve up a rainbow of paraphernalia and other products, designed to help you take your medicine.
Grinders, rolling papers, rubber, plastic, and metal pipes, glass pipes, bongs, and other water cooled pipes, hand-blown down pipes, lighters, butane, and screens are the types of merchandise you can expect to find upon entering the Kansas head shop. These places also carry vaping supplies, juice, and replacement parts, cannabis vapes for flowers, extracts, or both. They also carry every little pick, pusher, scraper, or otherwise cleaning kit available. You will find other merchandise like clothing, storage containers, blackout bags, and trays.
These establishments also sell the promise of progress. Where once there was a definite stigma attached to tucking into the corner smoke shop, nowadays, with weed so widely accepted, you don’t have to think twice. Active prejudice, though rampant in the US, is illegal, and if you’re looking to heal through whatever means necessary, anyone who shames you is sick themselves. The good people working in Kansas head shops know their business and will be more than happy to help you choose the most appropriate products for your needs.
Kratom
You might have heard about one of the newest supplement crazes to sweep the states. Kratom is a derivative of mitragyna speciosa, a vine common to Southeast Asia. Originally used like coffee amongst equatorial residents, replacing opium post-prohibition in Asia, kratom has become one of the most hotly debated topics amongst the legislators of many continents.
Kratom is banned in over a dozen countries and is banned in several of our states. Though people enjoy the opiate effects of kratom tea, and kratom capsules, selected from a range of products, including Borneo Reserve, Bali Reserve, and Enhanced Malay, there are some risks associated with this new leaf. Kratom effects include uplifting euphoria, focus, and relaxation, but taken in large doses, kratom can cause liver toxicity, kidney dysfunction, addiction, and death.
That kratom is an opiate/stimulant itself lends humor to the fact that it is widely used by individuals to treat depression and opioid addiction. Where substances like methadone are used widely to treat symptoms of opioid addiction, kratom can step in and take over.
Psilocybin Mushrooms
One last blast from the past we wish to discuss is magic mushrooms and what they are starting to mean to contemporary America. Psilocybin is a psychoactive compound, hallucinogenic in nature, which is found in a specific group of fungi. This compound has been known to induce such a range of effects that it is hard to judge how much to take, though no adverse reaction aside from fear has been noted.
Don’t let this scare you because psybin mushrooms have been used for centuries in ceremonies, by weekend warriors, and now are used for clinical therapies. These little magic caps transport the consumer to a world apart from the one most of us see every day. The mind and body start to bend, color, sound, and tactile sensory perception amplify, and segregate. Every entity and phenomenon becomes their own life with their open heartbeat and living soul. This forces the mind to open in ways that accept we don’t know everything, often inducing such a calming feeling that consumers have been known to break into uncontrollable fits of deep belly laughter.
This is why shrooms are starting to be used in clinical settings. The awakening which can come with just a single trip in the right environment and with the right aims is often life-altering. Those searching for peace can find the cause of their troubles, reason through it, and be free. Old traumas and new PTSD can be rewired, and a new dawn of serenity appreciated.
Kind Seed Co aims to show you this stuff, so you know what’s going on, what it means, and so Kansas’ introduction to the myriad resources residents have available, doesn’t go unexplained. Of course, we could write a book about each category we have discussed here, but this is just an overview.
