Walk into a dispensary and the menu can feel overwhelming. Here’s a quick tour of the main product types and who each one suits.
Flower and pre-rolls
The classic form — dried, cured buds. Pre-rolls are flower rolled and ready to use. Browse strains in the directory to see what varieties shops carry.
Vapes
A vape cartridge is cannabis oil (a concentrate) packaged for a rechargeable battery. Convenient, discreet, and fast-acting.
Edibles
Food and drink products dosed in milligrams. Slow to start, long-lasting — see our edibles guide before trying them.
Tinctures and capsules
Smoke-free, precisely dosed liquids (tinctures, taken under the tongue) and pills (capsules).
Concentrates
Potent extracts — wax, shatter, rosin, live resin — for experienced patients. Learn more in our concentrates guide.
Topicals
Creams and balms for localized relief, generally without a high.
Finding what’s right for you
Product type, potency, and the label all matter. Compare brands and strains in the directory, then find a dispensary near you to see live menus.
