Cannabis 101: A Simple Guide
At Randolph’s Cannabis Reserve, we’re here to make cannabis easy to understand, whether you’re brand new or just looking for a refresher.

Why Adults Choose Cannabis

At Randolph’s Cannabis Reserve, we see people come in for all kinds of reasons—and most of them are simple.

For many adults, cannabis is part of how they spend their time and explore different experiences.

Common reasons include:

Relaxation
Social enjoyment
Trying something new
Unwinding after a long day

Understanding the Experience

Cannabis interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating functions like mood, perception, and overall balance in the body.

Because of this, researchers have studied how cannabis compounds interact with systems related to:

Mood and perception
Sensory experience
Awareness of surroundings

At Randolph’s Cannabis Reserve, we focus on helping customers understand these general effects—not making medical claims.

What Research Looks At

End-of-Day Use

Curiosity & Exploration

THC vs CBD — What’s the Difference?

A simple breakdown to help you understand how different cannabis products may feel.
At Randolph’s Cannabis Reserve, this is one of the most common questions we get—and for good reason.

Understanding the difference between THC and CBD is the easiest way to start figuring out what kind of experience you’re looking for.

THC

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

Primary Description:
THC is the main compound in cannabis associated with intoxicating effects.

What Many Adults Report

A noticeable “high” or shift in perception
Changes in mood or awareness
A more pronounced overall experience

How It’s Commonly Experienced

Effects can vary depending on the amount consumed
Lower amounts may feel mild
Higher amounts may feel more intense

Where You’ll Find THC

Flower
Pre-rolls
Edibles
Vapes
Concentrates

Good to Know

THC is typically the compound that defines how strong a product may feel.

CBD

CBD (Cannabidiol)

Primary Description:
CBD is a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis.

What Many Adults Report

No traditional “high”
A more subtle or mild experience
Less noticeable changes in perception

How It’s Commonly Experienced

Often described as more neutral compared to THC
May be preferred by those looking for a lighter experience

Where You’ll Find CBD

CBD-dominant products
Balanced THC/CBD products
Certain edibles, tinctures, and vapes

Good to Know

CBD does not produce the same intoxicating effects commonly associated with THC.

Products Can Contain Both

Many cannabis products contain a combination of THC and CBD.

This can create a different experience depending on the ratio.

Examples:

THC-dominant → more noticeable effects
CBD-dominant → more subtle experience
Balanced → somewhere in between

At Randolph’s Cannabis Reserve, we’ll help you understand these differences so you can choose what feels right for you.

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND

Everyone’s Experience Is Different

Cannabis doesn’t feel the same for everyone.

The way a product affects you can depend on:

The amount consumed
The type of product (edible, vape, flower, etc.)
Your personal tolerance
Your experience level

That’s why we always recommend:
Start low, go slow, and take your time.

At Randolph’s Cannabis Reserve, we’re not here to push you into anything.

If you’re unsure, just ask, we’ll walk you through it in plain English and help you find something that fits your comfort level.
