Strains are different varieties of cannabis that each come with their own unique array of cannabinoids and terpenes. Different strains may result in a different experience, depending on a number of factors.
Generally known by its Latin name, Cannabis sativa, cannabis has historically been thought of as consisting of at least two types, Indica and Sativa, which are believed to differ in terms of places of origin, height, and leaf shape. Most strains today are hybrids, a genetic cross between Indica and Sativa plants.
Cannabis contains hundreds of chemical substances. More than 100 of these are known as cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), that are made and stored in the plant’s trichomes.
Terpenes are chemicals made and stored in the trichomes of the cannabis plant, with the cannabinoids. Terpenes give cannabis its distinctive smell. The exact effects of terpenes on their own, and within cannabis are currently unknown.
Total cannabinoids in a particular strain can differ slightly from one batch to the next, depending on a number of factors. It’s important to remember that cannabis is a plant and it is common for some variability to occur.
Each product label will include the total amounts of THC and/or CBD that is that product.
THC potency in dried cannabis has increased from an average of 30mg/g (3%) in the 1980s to around 150mg/g (15%) today. Some strains can have an average as high as 300mg/g (30%) THC.
Yes, other ways to use cannabis include cannabis oil products, including sublingual oils (placed under the tongue), topicals, and edibles (including gummies, hard candies, and baked goods).
In its sealed original packaging, cannabis products should not result in an odour. Once opened or transferred to another container, consumers may find that their products have an aroma.
Store your cannabis in a sealed container in a cool dark place, in a locked, child-proof container away from children, teens, and pets.
Under revised regulations from Health Canada, new categories must display the potency/concentration in milligrams per gram (mg/g) or total quantity in milligrams (mg), depending on the class of cannabis and immediate container.
Edible bags are recyclable in your regular recycling bin. You may bring other containers back to any retail store to be recycled.

You may purchase up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or the equivalent in extracts, seeds, edibles, or topicals.
The 30 gram possession limit in the Cannabis Act is based on dried cannabis. Equivalents were developed for other cannabis products to identify what their possession limit would be. One (1) gram of dried cannabis is equal to:
- 5 grams of fresh cannabis
- 15 grams of edible product
- 70 grams of liquid product
- 0.25 grams of concentrates (solid or liquid)
- 1 cannabis plant seed
According to the federal Cannabis Act, an individual may possess, in a public place, cannabis of one or more classes (dried flower, pre-rolls, extracts, seeds, edibles, or topicals) equivalent to 30 grams of dried cannabis. There is a possession limit of 1000 grams or equivalent in a private place.
Cannabis may be used in private. It can be smoked or vaped in public in the same places where tobacco can be smoked or vaped, except in places where children commonly gather. Check your local smoking bylaws to be sure.
You must show two pieces of ID, one of which must be issued by a government agency and include your name, birth date, and picture. The second must include an imprint of your name, signature and/or picture.
You may not consume any cannabis products in any vehicles, whether they are moving or parked. It’s illegal to transport cannabis across the Canadian border. Cannabis laws are different between provinces and territories. This includes legal age, where you can smoke, consume, and buy cannabis. Make sure to learn the laws before you travel.
The federal government has legalized cannabis in order to strictly regulate and restrict access to cannabis in Canada. The Cannabis Act implements a new comprehensive public health approach that will be more effective in protecting youth and keeping profits out of the pockets of criminals and organized crime.
No, you may not bring anyone under the legal age of consumption into any Realeaf store.
The Cannabis Act created two new criminal offences, with maximum penalties of 14 years in jail for giving or selling cannabis to minors, or using a minor to commit a cannabis-related offence.
There are many short-term and long-term effects from using cannabis including physical dependency and cannabis use disorder that may result from frequent use.
If you have any health issues after using cannabis, you should consult your healthcare provider.
Overuse of cannabis may lead to many short-term and long-term health effects, including psychotic episodes characterized by paranoia, delusions, or hallucinations.
Continued, frequent use can lead to a physical dependency and cannabis use disorder. You may be at a higher risk if you have a family history of mental illness or other types of mental disorders. If you or someone you know is worried about cannabis use, consult your doctor.
THC and CBD can be passed to a fetus or newborn through blood or breast milk. Cannabis use during pregnancy has been linked to lower birth weights and developmental effects in newborns. Since there is no known safe amount of cannabis to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the safest approach is to not use cannabis.
Combining cannabis with other medications can increase the overall effects. This could increase the risk of injury or harm, particularly with activities like driving. For more information on the interactions between cannabis and medications, consult your healthcare provider.
