Yes! We carry a variety of smoking accessories, including pipes, rolling papers, lighters, and more. Just ask a team member to point you in the right direction.
Do you have organic cannabis products?
Because cannabis is still federally illegal, it can’t be certified “organic” by the USDA like other crops. That said, many cultivators use organic or sustainable growing methods, and some third-party organizations offer their own certifications.
How do I use a vape cartridge?
Vape cartridges are pre-filled with cannabis oil and are designed to be used with a compatible vape battery (usually a 510-thread battery). You’ll start by attaching the cartridge to your battery by screwing it in gently—don’t overtighten. Next, power on your device (usually by clicking the button 5 times quickly—check your battery’s instructions). Then, press the button and inhale from the mouthpiece at the same time. Start with a small puff to see how it affects you. Wait a few minutes between puffs, especially if you’re new to vaping. Some batteries are draw-activated, meaning you just inhale without pressing a button. If you’re not sure which type you have, feel free to bring it in or ask—we’re happy to help walk you through it!
How should I store my cannabis products?
To keep your products fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. Airtight containers are ideal for flower, and edibles should be kept in their original packaging. Always store cannabis out of reach of children and pets.
I have allergies and/or specific dietary needs. Do you offer products that accommodate them?
For personalized assistance, please contact our Call Center at 916-46-KOLAS (916-465-6527). We’re happy to help you find products that meet your needs!

Cannabis Product Education
21 questions
What is Indica?
Indica cannabis is a subspecies known for its relaxing, sedative effects. It’s often used to help with stress, pain, insomnia, and anxiety. Indica strains tend to provide a “body high,” promoting relaxation and sleep. They’re commonly used in the evening or before bed. Popular strains include Granddaddy Purple, Northern Lights, and Bubba Kush.
What is Sativa?
Sativa cannabis is a subspecies known for its uplifting, energizing effects. It’s often used to help with depression, fatigue, and creativity. Sativa strains provide a “head high,” making them ideal for daytime use. They’re typically more stimulating than indica. Popular strains include Sour Diesel, Green Crack, and Jack Herer.
What is Hybrid?
Hybrid cannabis is a cross between indica and sativa strains, offering a mix of effects. Hybrids can be balanced, leaning more towards either relaxation or energy depending on the ratio of indica to sativa. They’re often used for overall wellness, providing both physical relaxation and mental clarity. Popular hybrids include Blue Dream, OG Kush, and Girl Scout Cookies.
What is CBD?
CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. It’s known for its potential health benefits like anti-inflammatory properties, pain relief, and promoting gut health. CBG is often used for conditions like IBS, glaucoma, and neuroprotection. While less common than CBD, it’s gaining popularity for its therapeutic effects.
What is CBG?
CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. It’s known for its potential health benefits like anti-inflammatory properties, pain relief, and promoting gut health. CBG is often used for conditions like IBS, glaucoma, and neuroprotection. While less common than CBD, it’s gaining popularity for its therapeutic effects.
What is CBC?
CBC (cannabichromene) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antidepressant properties. CBC may help with pain relief, mood enhancement, and skin health. It’s also being studied for its potential to support neurogenesis (the growth of new brain cells).
What is THCA?
THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the precursor to THC and is non-psychoactive in its raw form. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-nausea properties. THCA is often used for joint pain, muscle spasms, and appetite loss. When heated (like during smoking or vaping), THCA converts into THC, which is psychoactive.
What is THCV?
THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) is a cannabinoid known for its energizing and appetite-suppressing effects. Unlike THC, it has a clear-headed and focused high. THCV may help with weight loss, diabetes management, and anxiety.
What is best for sleep?
Cannabis strains high in indica are typically best for sleep due to their relaxing and sedative effects. They help with insomnia, pain relief, and anxiety, promoting restful sleep. Popular sleep-friendly strains include Granddaddy Purple, Northern Lights, and Bubba Kush. CBD products can also be helpful for improving sleep without the “high.”
What is best for focus?
Cannabis strains high in sativa are typically best for improving focus and mental clarity. These strains provide an uplifting and energizing effect, making them ideal for daytime use and tasks requiring concentration. Popular strains for focus include Green Crack, Jack Herer, and Durban Poison. Additionally, THCV-rich strains may enhance focus while also suppressing appetite.
What is best for pain relief?
For pain relief, indica strains are often the best choice due to their sedative and muscle-relaxing effects. They’re particularly effective for chronic pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. Popular pain-relieving strains include Bubba Kush, Northern Lights, and Granddaddy Purple. CBD and CBG products are also great for pain relief, especially for those seeking non-psychoactive options
What are edibles?
Edibles are cannabis-infused food or drink products—like gummies, chocolates, or beverages—that you consume orally.
How do edibles work?
You’ll usually start to feel the effects within 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on factors like your metabolism, what you’ve eaten that day, and your experience level. Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles take longer to kick in because they’re processed through your digestive system. We always recommend starting with a low dose (around 2.5–5mg of THC) and waiting at least 2 hours before considering more, especially if you’re new to edibles. The effect can last from 4 to 8 hours.
What is live resin?
Live resin is a type of cannabis concentrate made from freshly frozen cannabis plants, rather than dried and cured flower. This process helps preserve terpenes and cannabinoids, giving it a strong flavor and aroma profile.
What is rosin?
Rosin is a solventless cannabis concentrate made by applying heat and pressure to flower or hash. It’s known for being clean, potent, and flavorful—great for those who prefer chemical-free extraction methods.
What is concentrate?
A concentrate is a product made by extracting the most potent compounds from cannabis, like THC and CBD. These products come in many forms—wax, oil, shatter, resin—and are typically much stronger than flower.
What does infused mean?
“Infused” means that a product has had cannabis oil or concentrate added to increase its potency. You’ll often see this in pre-rolls, edibles, or beverages to enhance effects.
What are terpenes, and why do they matter?
Terpenes are natural compounds found in cannabis (and other plants) that give each strain its distinct aroma and flavor.
Do you have products with no THC?
All of our products contain at least a small amount of THC, so we don’t carry any that are completely THC-free.
Do you have any non-psychoactive products?
Yes, we carry non-psychoactive products such as tinctures, topicals, and gummies. These are designed to provide therapeutic benefits without the intoxicating effects of THC. Please note that all of our products contain at least a small amount of THC, so we don’t carry any that are completely THC-free.
Do you have any products to help pass a THC drug test?
We do not carry any products specifically designed to help pass a THC drug test.
Usage & Legal Questions
8 questions
Can I mix cannabis with alcohol?
While it’s technically possible to mix cannabis and alcohol, we don’t recommend it, especially if you’re new to either one. Combining the two can intensify the effects of both substances, which may lead to increased dizziness, nausea, impaired judgment, or an uncomfortable experience overall. If you do choose to mix them, it’s best to go slow, use small amounts, and make sure you’re in a safe environment. Everyone reacts differently, so always listen to your body and prioritize your well-being.
Can I travel with cannabis?
Cannabis laws can vary by state and country, so it’s important to be careful. While you can travel within California with cannabis (up to the legal possession limit), it’s illegal to take it across state lines or bring it onto airplanes, even if you’re traveling to another legal state. We always recommend checking local laws before traveling with any cannabis products.
I live outside of California, can you ship cannabis to me?
Unfortunately, we’re unable to ship cannabis across state lines due to federal regulations. All cannabis purchases must be made in-store and within California. However, if you’re visiting, we’d be happy to help you while you’re here!
What’s the legal limit for possession?
In California, adults 21 and over can legally possess up to 1 ounce (28.5 grams) of cannabis flower and up to 8 grams of concentrated cannabis (like vape oil or edibles).
Can I use cannabis in public?
No—public consumption is not currently allowed under California law. Cannabis use must be done in a private residence or a legally designated space.
What should I do if I consume too much cannabis?
If you’ve had a bit too much, don’t panic—the effects will wear off with time. Stay hydrated, rest in a calm environment, and try to relax. CBD can sometimes help balance the effects of THC. If symptoms are severe or you feel unwell, seek medical attention right away.
How long does THC stay in your system?
The amount of time THC stays in your system depends on a few factors, like how often you consume, your metabolism, body type, and the type of test being used. We always recommend speaking with a healthcare provider for personal concerns.
What should I do if my child or pet accidentally consumes cannabis?
If a child or pet has accidentally consumed cannabis, seek medical or veterinary help immediately. Keep products in child- and pet-proof containers, and always store them safely out of reach.
