What does a Dispensary in Nevada Sell?
Aside from seed banks that ship to Nevada, there are dozens of dispensaries operating all over the state, offering a vast selection of edible and utilitarian creations. These places of refuge for pot people everywhere go through strict licensing procedures, adhere to strict quality-control standards and they make it their business to offer the best products available to them so that recreational and medicinal enthusiasts all over NV can kick back and relax.
Put all these places together and one can find a range of edibles, topicals, flowers, concentrates, seeds and clones. Also available to consumers are a broad diversity of all the paraphernalia necessary to enjoy these products responsibly and otherwise. These are born to be places of physical and psychological healing, so for every recreational powerhouse, there is a medicinal marketable to match.
Dispensaries in Nevada employ intelligent, enthusiastic and helpful personnel, just as dedicated to promoting the good name of cannabis as any of us at Kind Seed Co. These people study the market, know the product, know the circles and new creations about to hit the market. These people are familiar with local and state competitions, hemp festivals and fairs, and are a treasure-trove of information surrounding the efficacy of strains in soothing your maladies. For everything cannabis-related, you can place your trust in the individuals and the products which keep Nevada dispensaries alive and well.
Edibles
In the previous section, we mentioned some of the products one can expect to find in a Nevada dispensary, so let’s dig a little deeper into each one. Edibles make up possibly the largest and fastest-growing cannabis market in the country. At any reputable dispensary, one can find Gummies, candies and drinks of all textures and flavors, and of all levels of potency. If there is a nostalgic consumer out there who wouldn’t love a good cannabis-infused Taffy, we don’t know where they are.
Edibles are so famously appreciated because they are simple, discrete, can be taken and enjoyed wherever you go, and recent years have seen an uptick in management of recreational or medicinal value. Aside from the fun and funky edibles out there, there are also Capsules. These are made of a gelatin-based shell or housing, filled with oils medicinal, recreational or both. The extracts contained within your capsules are generally mixed with a carrier oil, such as olive or coconut, for simple and speedy delivery to the system.
Something to be aware of is that cannabis edibles hit differently than the puffing sort. The delta-9-THC you enjoy becomes 11-hydroxy-THC when converted by digestion systems, affecting the consumer in a much more physical and sedative manner. Whereas a sativa may keep you up and running when smoked, decarboxylated and eaten, it may simply put you to sleep. For this reason, we suggest having the chat with your pot professionals before going gung-ho on the range of available edibles.
Topicals
Lotions, creams and oils of all sorts have had their place in history since before we started keeping track of human progress. Right down to the earliest crossers of the land bridge thousands of years ago and before, humans have been placing procurements on the skin to promote healing and structural stability.
The power of some compounds contained within cannabis is vast, impressive, and even breaches the fantastic, as is the case with how wonderful cannabis products can be in treating cancer and hypertension disorders. But there are other, broader forms of suffering, like arthritic pain, fibromyalgia, musculo-skeletal pressures, and aches and pains both acute and diffused. There are also skin conditions such as eczema and heat-rashes which can be effectively contained with certain cannabis-born additives. For the treatment of these many maladies and more, we have the topical market to thank. Everyone knows that Nevada is America’s playground, and for the many physical pleasures of life, from a simple massage to a filthy night in with some of your favorite sexy friends, there are myriad oils and lubricants designed for everyone’s pleasure.
Needless to say, if it goes on the skin cannabis can make it better, and some companies in Nevada are on the leading edge of topical creation. These, too, must adhere to strict guidelines and regulations, if they are to be considered safe for use, and deviation means elimination. So you know these products have been tested, contain no harmful products and are safe to use as directed.
Flowers
It might interest the would-be Cup contender to know something about how cannabis is graded. Whereas a test to determine THC or CBD levels, cannabinoid arrays or terpene profiles are just that, tests, and the AAAA cannabis grading system was designed to delineate the quality of cannabis flowers, based on a few criteria. These include density, color, fragrance, flavor, trichomes and cure-quality, and whatever grade your weed falls into is how your company will be recognized, until you test the next one. Let us touch on the whys and wherefores of each of the four classifications of cannabis.
A-grade weed is the lowest quality material. This stuff is often sold for industrial purposes like fuel and rope, and is also the grade given to used-up, post-extract material.
AA weed is next on the list, and describes the larfy stuff, the trim. This is the bag many couldn’t give away, but which is utilized in making extracts, and serves topical and edible markets well.
AAA is the stuff we start to see hitting dispensaries and your local herb hero is most likely not going to try to pass off anything less than AAA as more than it is. This material, though lovely and thoroughly enjoyable, falls a bit short of perfection.
AAAA, or quad-A weed, is the top of the heap. These are perfect buds, the award-winners, the coveted and acclaimed cannabis connoisseurs fight over. Structure is perfect, density is rock-hard, color, fragrance and flavor are all inspiring and trichomes are frosty.
Concentrates
There are as many concentrates as there are types of consumers and each and every one of them has been painstakingly prepared by expert hands. Affecting many of these at home is tough business, but individuals all over Nevada are taking up the double boiler, the dry ice and the solvents and making some pretty amazing concentrates.
Shatter, potentially the most popular of the live resin distillate family, is a crunchy substance, when kept refrigerated, but which turns to a sticky gum when thawed. Vape enthusiasts make quick work of transporting shatter from the freezer or fridge to the pen, so as to avoid a sticky mess. Also present as part of the live-resin rolodex are budder, wax, and more manageable makings, such as diamonds and crumble. Along with hash oil, these are just about as sticky as one can get and make up the majority of the solvent-based extract world.
But there is another, simpler side to the stream of concentrates flooding Nevada markets. Non-solvent concentrates like rub, hash and bubble hash are easy to make in the home and require only minimal equipment to procure. The first needs only fresh buds and two hands. We recommend wearing gloves to make rub, and placing them in the freezer will help break-off the sticky-icky. The second, made by pressing kief or dry-sift, is best when cured well. The last is made by washing frozen buds free of their trichomes and pouring-off the solution through screens to weed-out the wonky stuff.
Testing Kits
Something one might find a little silly for us to mention here are testing kits, but their importance to employers and medical professionals throughout the state of Nevada cannot be oversold. Drug testing kits, at least the type available to consumers and producers through online retailers, are designed to betray the presence of a controlled substance through testing either urine, hair or blood.
With narcotic crises ever on the rise in this country, a Cocaine Testing Kit, Fentanyl Testing Kit or Opiates Testing Kit can help the employer ensure a drug-free workplace, and can help medical personnel better assess the condition of patients for safer dispensation of intravenous drugs. These days, amphetamines are being abused in every corner of the state, by every type of individual, so a Methamphetamine Testing Kit or MDMA Testing Kit can come in handy. Lesser utilized, the Cannabinoids Testing Kit can be administered to anyone suspected of driving while impaired or to oust someone sneaking a joint in any of Nevada’s numerous recovery houses. That said, drug testing kits can also be used to test the drugs themselves for purity, or an environment to detect the presence of narcotics, so be sure you know what kind of test you are looking for when you go to purchase one.
There are numerous reasons for purchasing drug testing kits and their accuracy is upwards of 99%. This means that these tools are useful in determining if the substances they test for are present, and it is then up to the employer, guidelines or regulations, as to what to do about the discovery.
Vapes
Vapes are a hot item throughout America and Nevada keeps up with the Joneses. All over the state, head shops and dispensaries are selling vapes of all sorts, and there are just as many diverse products to go inside them for consumers’ enjoyment. A vape pen can go absolutely anywhere you can and they are discreet enough that they can pass for nicotine vapes, as long as your live-resin is fairly nondescript.
The average vaporizer, whether disposable or not, is made up of a number of constituent parts. Whereas each vaporizer has a main body, in order to function the way we love them to, the body requires that its cartridge be filled with your chosen concentrate and be attached to an atomizer. The atomizer heats up the concentrate, turning it into vapor for the puffer to puff at will, and these parts are oftentimes replaceable, so the user can keep the main body intact while switching-out parts as they wear out.
Also available, though their popularity is waning due to the cannabis industry’s relation to climate change, are disposable vape pens. These come with preloaded cartridges and are juiced-up just enough for the consumer to get at all the vape oil or concentrate before the batteries wear out. Also available are a variety of flavors and scents, simply to make the experience either more enjoyable or discreet, or both, and all citizens 21 or over, and those over 18 with a medical license, can purchase these products throughout Nevada.
Seed Starts
There are a lot of seed starts in Nevada, and when you shop Kind Seed Co, the selection you have access to blows anything you may be used to, out of the water. Choosing to grow from seed is common practice for individuals always in the market to try perfecting the trichome production on a range of their favorite or sought-after strains, and for the professional looking to start a new female selection process. For all seed endeavors, Weed Seeds has the stones to please.
With a couple items and a little knowledge, affecting solid germination is easy for anyone. All that is necessary to make a plant sprout are moisture, oxygen, warmth and light. In fact, a seed doesn’t need light to sprout, but needs it immediately afterwards, so that it knows where to grow. There are a few proven methods of germination, including the paper towel method, direct-sowing and soaking seeds overnight. These are the popular ones, and our growers have seen the greatest strength of success with direct-sow methodology.
To ensure your seedling survives through to vegetative states, it comes highly recommended that the starter medium be nutrient-free or only mildly-fed. This is to prevent damping-off, which can happen to seedlings with unestablished root-systems. Provide high ambient humidity, mid-high light levels and just enough moisture around the future root-ball that new shoots have to search and strengthen. Keep ventilation going with fans to both provide fresh air and to strengthen young stalks.
Clones
Aside from seed starts to get your show growing, clones are a proven method through which to affect a balanced and consistent crop. Cloning cannabis is one of the earliest practices in American weed breeding. In fact, some of the early and famed strains throughout American cannabis history have been clone-only strains, since made to seed through the dedication of expert breeders.
Cutting clones requires that the horticulturist has a few items on hand and that the clones’ future environment be functioning perfectly beforehand. The cloning extraordinaire should have at the ready, sharp scissors, alcohol and a rag or alcohol swabs, a mister, their chosen rooting medium and rooting powder. The medium you choose is important, as it must both breathe and hold moisture, and the sound-proofing insulation, rockwool, has become the industry standard. With these simple yet critical tools, any female cannabis plant can be kept in a vegetative state and cloned at the will of the grower.
There are some items which have been developed throughout the years to make the life of the grower just a bit easier. One such contraption is the aeroponic cloner, a device manufactured to be the perfect microenvironment for establishing clones and cuttings. The base is a bubbler, the top is a humid environment, and it is all enclosed so it can be kept in any vegging room, without its contents being affected and without affecting surrounding plants. We say vegging room because clones run on the same light schedule as veg.
Headshop Merchandise
For everything that isn’t a cannabis product, Nevadan consumers can hit any number of high-test head shops for such a diversity of merchandise that one couldn’t find it all in a single trip. These are the smoke shops, vape shops and places of apparel, aimed at pleasing puffing people with the types of things they’re into.
These places of refuge for today’s toker are where to find all the things related to smoking and smoking pot, and these establishments also tend to house the things which some dispensaries can’t sell, such as kratom and other controlled substances. Pick any head shop in the Silver State and find a range of grinders suited to tasks large and small, and rolling papers to sate every whim of the imagination or flavor-fuelled fling. Pipes and bongs are always popular items, and the Nevada head shop always houses a selection of glass pipes, water cooled pipes, down pipes and screens enough to get anyone fired-up for 420.
Home-based extraction such as rosin-pressing has become popular in recent years, and head shops in Nevada often boast an array of dab rigs and torches and other lighters you might want, as well as the butane necessary to operate them, fail-free.
Kratom
Mitragyna speciosa or kratom, as it has become known, is a natural plant derivative which is both opioid and a stimulant, and which offers many positive effects. However, to stop the description there would be irresponsible, and kratom, like all other drugs, can pose some serious health risks when taken in large doses.
Originally used in Southeast Asia for many hundreds of years as a tool to promote healing, from dealing with psychological traumas to treating aches and pains, the uses for kratom have, and continue to, vary. Kratom houses over forty known alkaloids, some of which operate in much the same way as coffee or heroin, as both stimulant and opiate. Kratom effects include appetite suppression, physical, psychological and sensual stimulation, and empathy and euphoria, which are both bases for psychological addiction. Kratom is also proven to be physically addictive and exhibits similar side-effects, such as constipation, depression and depressive lulls, irritability and other antisocial behaviors, as well as acute withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and muscle spasms. In extreme cases, liver toxicity and nutrient deficiency can cause hospitalization and death, as with hard narcotics, though this is uncommon and avoidable.
All consumers in Nevada are free to enjoy kratom capsules and powders, and kratom tea has become a popular category; consumers simply make a pot, such as one might think of brewing-up some ayahuasca or shrooms. Kratom companies offer many choices to the consumer, including special brands like Borneo Reserve, Bali Reserve and Enhanced Malay.
Psilocybin Mushrooms
Psilocybin mushrooms are another story altogether. Though these little critters have been controlled since forever in the states, places like neighboring Oregon and California are allowing for their use in therapeutic environments. This may sound like a bit of a fallacy to those familiar with magic mushrooms, since, as long as one is with the right people, in the right open frame of mind and willing to walk with courage, any space is therapeutic with shrooms.
Records throughout hundreds and artifacts dating back thousands of years, depict entire cultures and societies based on psybin mushrooms, and their use has proliferated and permeated fields of psychological study going so far beyond the mundane that belief in parallel universes becomes a normal reaction to the idea of cause and effect. To put it plainly, mushrooms are trippy, and their effects on the body and brain are of stimulation and excitement.
Senses are amplified and can flux through connection and separation, energy fields can be seen and felt in ways only intelligible by the observer, and even then, reshaping of complex realities oftentimes happens too fast for an accurate description to be given. As color and sound become one, as the physical world emits its energies in myriad complex combinations, the consumer is often presented with a choice to either go with the flow or to fight.
It has been our intention to guide you through basic descriptions of the many types of weed seeds available to Nevadan consumers, and to highlight a few of the newer or more complicated products and services out there in this state’s dispensaries and head shops.
