Question 6

What is the difference between indica, sativa, and hybrid?

Accepted Answer

Indica strains are traditionally associated with relaxation and body effects, often chosen for evening use. Sativa strains are linked to energizing, cerebral effects, popular for daytime use. Hybrids combine characteristics of both. Our staff at One Plant Newcastle can help you find the right strain for your needs.

Question 7

What does THC percentage mean?

Accepted Answer

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) percentage indicates potency. Higher THC doesn't always mean better - it depends on your tolerance and desired effects. At One Plant Newcastle, we carry products ranging from low-THC options (under 10%) to high-potency products (over 25%).

Question 8

What is CBD and how is it different from THC?

Accepted Answer

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that doesn't produce a "high." THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Many products at One Plant Newcastle contain varying ratios of THC to CBD. CBD-dominant products are great for those seeking relief without intoxication.

Question 9

What is live resin vs regular vape cartridges?

Accepted Answer

Live resin is extracted from fresh-frozen cannabis, preserving more terpenes and providing fuller flavour and effects. Regular distillate cartridges are more processed but often more affordable. One Plant Newcastle carries both options to suit different preferences and budgets.

Question 10

What are cannabis concentrates?

Concentrates are highly potent cannabis extracts including shatter, wax, budder, live resin, and rosin. They typically contain 60-90% THC and are consumed through dabbing or vaporizing. Visit One Plant Newcastle to explore our concentrate selection.
