Know Your Cannabis and Mushroom Terms

A quick reference for hemp-derived cannabinoids, mushroom compounds, concentrates, and common product terms.

• Amanita Muscaria: Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) is a red-capped mushroom containing the psychoactive compounds ibotenic acid and muscimol. Its primary effects come from muscimol (a GABA-A receptor agonist), not psilocybin.
• Cart: Short for cartridge; a pre-filled container with hemp-derived cannabinoids (e.g., THC, CBD) designed for standard 510-thread vape battery pens. Learn about 510 vape pens.
• Delta 10 THC: Hemp-derived cannabinoid with a lighter, uplifting profile often preferred for daytime use. See our THC Gummies Collection.
• Delta 8 THC: Hemp-derived cannabinoid typically described as milder and more relaxing than Delta 9 THC.
• Delta 9 THC: The primary intoxicating cannabinoid in cannabis. In hemp products, Delta 9 THC must remain ≤0.3% by dry weight under U.S. federal law.
• Farm Bill (2018): U.S. legislation that federally legalized hemp (≤0.3% Delta 9 THC) and enabled production and sale of hemp-derived cannabinoids. USDA overview.
• Full Spectrum CBD Oil: CBD extract containing multiple cannabinoids and terpenes (including trace THC), often associated with the entourage effect. Explore CBD oil.
• Hemp-Derived THC: THC and related cannabinoids extracted from legally defined hemp (≤0.3% Delta 9 THC); includes Delta 8 and Delta 10.
• HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol): A hydrogenated cannabinoid with relaxing, mood-elevating properties, distinct from Delta 9 THC.
• Indica: Category of cannabis varieties commonly associated with relaxing, calming, body-heavy effects; often chosen for evening use.
• Legal Mushrooms: Functional or mild psychoactive mushrooms (e.g., Amanita muscaria in some jurisdictions) used for wellness without psilocybin content. See our Mushroom Gummies Collection.
• Liquid Diamonds: A concentrate blending THCA crystalline “diamonds” with terpene-rich sauce for potency and flavor. See THCA Flower.
• Live Resin: Concentrate produced by flash-freezing fresh cannabis to preserve terpenes and aromatics prior to extraction. See our Live Resin Collection.
• Live Rosin: Solventless concentrate pressed from fresh-frozen material or hash using heat and pressure; valued for purity and flavor.
• Muscimol: The primary psychoactive compound in Amanita muscaria; a GABA-A receptor agonist associated with sedative and dreamlike effects.
• Mushroom Extract Blend: A combination of mushroom-derived extracts (e.g., hot water/alcohol/CO₂) concentrating bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, triterpenes, or muscimol.
• Palo Santo Wood: Aromatic wood traditionally burned for its soothing scent in spiritual or wellness rituals.
• Pre Roll: A ready-to-use hemp or cannabis joint that is pre-filled and rolled for convenience.
• Psychedelic: Pertaining to substances or experiences that markedly alter perception, mood, and cognition.
• Sativa: Category of cannabis varieties commonly associated with uplifting, energizing effects and clearer headspace.
• Smudge Stick: A bundled set of dried herbs intended for burning to scent a space during cleansing or ritual practices.
• Terpenes: Aromatic compounds found in cannabis (and other plants) that contribute to flavor, aroma, and effect profile.
• THC Lean: Cannabis-infused syrup format often mixed into beverages; dosing is typically measured in milligrams per serving.
• THCA Flower: Raw cannabis/hemp flower rich in THCA (non-intoxicating until heated). Decarboxylation converts THCA to Delta 9 THC. See THCA Flower collection.
• THCB (Tetrahydrocannabutol): A lesser-known cannabinoid reported to have potent effects; research and availability continue to evolve.
• THCP (Tetrahydrocannabiphorol): A highly potent cannabinoid discovered in 2019; binds strongly to CB1 receptors relative to Delta 9 THC.
• Vape: An inhalation device that heats oils or concentrates to produce vapor rather than smoke.
