Let’s cut through the haze. You walk into KOHF, maybe it’s your first time, maybe your first time in years…
You’re trying to look cool, but the menu’s reading like a foreign language: Sativa, Indica, Hybrid, Terpenes, THC percentages… It’s giving SAT flashbacks.
Don’t stress. We got you.
And if you’re in or near Peekskill? Even better. As the best dispensary in Westchester (yes, we said it), we’re here to break it down real simple…
With no BS and zero shame.
Sativa vs. Indica: Cute concept, but it’s like going to a bar and ordering beer or liquor with no other instructions – you aren’t going to find what you really want this way!
We’ve all heard it.
Sativa = energy, Indica = sleepy time, Hybrid = somewhere in the middle. It sounds neat. Predictable.
Unfortunately, it’s mostly nonsense.
The Sativa/Indica labels are based on the plant’s appearance, not how it’ll actually make you feel.
Tall and skinny? Sativa. Short and bushy? Indica…
…but that tells you nothing about how your body will react.
What matters most? The plant’s chemical profile. Specifically the Terpenes.
Terpenes: The Real Boss Behind Your High
Terpenes are the essential oils of the cannabis plant. You know how lavender chills you out and lemon perks you up? Same concept. Cannabis strains each have their own mix of terpenes that shape the smell, flavor, and experience.
A few faves to remember:
- Limonene: Found in citrus peels. Boosts mood. Makes you wanna clean your apartment at 2am.
- Myrcene: Found in mangos and thyme. Known for that heavy, body-hugging high. Aka “the couch lock terpene”
- Pinene: Piney and fresh. Can keep you focused when your brain wants to wander. (This is also one to avoid for those who find cannabis makes you anxious – as research is beginning to identify this as a terpene that may cause those paranoid feelings for non connoisoures)
- Linalool: That floral, relaxing vibe. Think spa day without the robe. This is the same one found in lavender and lilac flowers.
- Caryophyllene: Peppery, pain-soothing. Your back hurts? This one’s the real MVP. (This terpene also can bring you back to balance when you feel too high)
So instead of asking “Is it a Sativa?” ask, “What’s the terpene profile?”. We promise your body will thank you.
So, How Do You Actually Use It?
Let’s talk consumption methods. Smoking a joint isn’t your only option anymore. Here’s the menu:
- Smokable: Flower, pre-rolls, bongs and bowls. Fast effects, big flavors. Try the Canna Cure 1g Pre-Roll if you want something smooth but strong.
- Vapable: Discreet and clean. Great for chill sessions. The Ayrloom 1g Rest Vape is a nighttime essential for winding down without counting sheep.
- Edibles: Gummies, chocolates, drinks. Long-lasting and body-heavy. Start slow with the Ruby Farms Lion’s Mane Mango Gummies — they taste like candy but hit like a train.
- Tinctures: A few drops under the tongue. Quick, customizable, lowkey. Perfect for fine-tuning your vibe with less guessing.
- Topicals: Lotions and balms. No high, just relief. Great for sore backs, cranky knees, or post-Metro North recovery mode.
- Suppositories: Yes, they exist. Yes, they work. And yes, we carry them. Discreet, fast-acting, and surprisingly effective
