Psilocybin is a psychedelic drug which occurs naturally in upwards of 200 species of mushrooms. The drug has similar properties to LSD, DMT, and mescaline. The effects of the drug include (but are not limited to):
Euphoria

Dubbed “diet weed” and “weederall” for its purported appetite-curbing and energy-boosting properties, delta 9 tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is fast becoming one of the latest cannabinoids on the market.
As with many other cannabinoids, including better-known compounds like CBD and CBN, THCV might...
Cannabinol (CBN) is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis sativa plant. It can also be produced synthetically.
CBN forms when THC degrades due to exposure to heat, air and/or light. “This is why higher levels of CBN can be found in aged,...
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a type of cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It’s often referred to as the "mother of all cannabinoids." This is because other cannabinoids are derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), an acidic form of CBG.
CBG is found...
Vaporizer
Delta-6 THC is short for Delta 6a10a THC, but it is also known as D6a and Delta-3 THC. The most significant difference between Delta-6 and Delta-8 is their chemical structure. Although both have similar properties, there are slight differences...
THC-X is a blend of cannabinoids that goes into this product in addition to the cannabinoids listed. It’s not a new cannabinoid; instead, it’s a blend of well-known cannabinoids that Delta Extrax mixed and labeled THC-X.
An electric dab rig, or e-rig, is an electronic, temperature-controlled dabbing rig that can be used in place of a glass dab rig. E-rigs use either batteries or an electric outlet to provide a consistent temperature at which the concentrates...
Badder, also called batter, is a cannabis concentrate named for its malleable consistency that resembles frosting or a thick cake batter. High-quality badder/batter is often golden or blond in color.
A cannabis grinder helps cut through dried cannabis flower. Typically round and filled with small prongs, grinders help break down cannabis quickly, as well as sort out and collect the potent kief, which is often wasted when breaking up buds...
THC acetate ester (THC-O-acetate, THC acetate, O-acetyl-THC, THC-O, ATHC) is the acetate ester of THC.
THC acetate ester (THC-O or THCOA) can be synthesized from THC, or from THCA. The acetylation of THC does not change the properties of the compound to the same extent as with other acetate esters, as the...
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA, 2-COOH-THC; conjugate base tetrahydrocannabinolate) is a precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an active component of cannabis.
THCA is found in variable quantities in fresh, undried cannabis, but is progressively decarboxylated to THC with drying, and especially under intense heating such as when cannabis is smoked or cooked...
HHC is a THC relative long known to science, but until recently not often discussed by cannabis users. HHC is a minor cannabinoid; it occurs naturally in cannabis, but in amounts too small to make extraction cost-effective. Since commercial...
In pharmacology, to infuse is the action of immersing some organic substance in a hot liquid without boiling it so that its soluble parts dissolve and thus obtain a mixture of both substances.
In the case of infused cannabis flowers,...
THC-B is a recently discovered novel cannabinoid, also referred to as Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabutol which is structurally similar to Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol.
What is interesting to note is that THC-B is functionally similar to regular THC, as it binds with both...
Hash
11-hydroxy-thc is how your body processes an edible. When you take a D8 or D9 edible it has to go through your digestive system first. Once the THC is digested your body turns the D8 or D9 into what’s...
THC-P first begins as a substance initially formed as cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), known as the “mother cannabinoid” from which cannabinoids derive from. By the same token, TCHPA (Tetrahydrocannabiphorol Acid) becomes THCP and on its own, it’s 33 times stronger...
