New Pre-Rolls: Goodbye, Cones!

By Products

New Pre-Rolls: Goodbye, Cones!

While hand-stuffed cones seem to have sentimental value in cannabis culture, our new pre-rolls are machine-rolled and deliver a consistently better smoke. They’re rolled (not stuffed) with precision and efficiency for a reliable smoking experience, free from variations that might affect quality.

In a word, these joints are nostalgic. They’ll take you back to your old smoking circle. Back then, no one was stuffing cones. You and your friends were rolling joints!

The Power of the Flower

Forget about packed “sawdust-like” weed. We use a more robust, old school grind not compatible with cones in our new pre-rolls. Above all, a coarser grind not only maintains the overall integrity of the flower but also allows for a better flavor. It is much moister, terpier, and fresher. You can see for yourself that we only stuff them with ground nugs – never with any shake or trim. At the same time, we optimize the distribution of cannabis material for an efficient burn rate. In summary, the coarser grind provides better airflow with less clogging and boating than what you can expect from a cone.

Smyth Cannabis Co. flower is grown in a small batches in our 15,000 square foot facility, which we control down to the last detail. It is always properly flushed, cured and hand trimmed for a 10/10 experience every time.

Located off of 495 in Lowell, MA, Smyth Cannabis Co. carries a variety of different pre-rolls at some of the most competitive prices in the area.

 

Consistency is Key

new pre-rolls vs. cones

Unlike hand-stuffed cones, which may may vary in size, density and tightness due to human error, our new, machine-rolled pre-rolls guarantee a standardized experience every time. They’re rolled (not stuffed) with natural hemp paper.

Not to mention, the unparalleled consistency extends through to the smoking experience of each pre-roll. They are calibrated to reduce under or over-filling and rolled using even-density technology to ensure a consistent burn from start to finish. With cones, resinous and finely ground cannabis dust tends to pack tightly around the narrow filter. This can lead to clogging towards the end of the joint, causing you to stub out early. With a consistent shape and an extra-wide filter, our new pre-rolls guarantee an even burn right down to the end, with less product wasted.

So Fresh & So Clean New Pre-Rolls

Our brand new pre-roll machine was designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring a sanitary production environment. This is a key factor in an industry where quality control is so crucial.

Spark It Up: New Pre-Rolls

We recommend lighting our new pre-rolls more similarly to a cigar than a traditional joint. First, you should hold the joint over an open flame, rotating it evenly for about five seconds. Then, you should wait for an evenly-lit cherry to form before you inhale.

There’s nothing worse than taking a nice big hit before realizing the joint is not fully lit. In fact, this is also major reason for boating and uneven burning!

Stand Out From The Pack

While we can all agree that cones definitely serve a purpose, the quality and consistency of our new pre-rolled joints make them the clear choice for an overall better smoke. We’re excited to be changing the industry’s view of traditional pre-rolls and can’t wait for our customers to try them!

Ready to try something new? Check out our menu to see what strains we have available in our new pre-rolls. We’re conveniently located right off of 495 in Lowell, MA.

Finding The Right CBD Product For You

Finding the Right CBD Product for You

As the popularity of CBD continues to soar, so does the array of products flooding the market. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound derived from the cannabis plant, has garnered attention for its potential health benefits, including alleviating anxiety, managing pain, and improving sleep quality. However, with the multitude of options available, finding the perfect CBD product tailored to your needs can be a daunting task.

Located off of 495 in Lowell, MA, Smyth Cannabis Co. is the top recreational dispensary serving Andover, Ayer, Billerica, Burlington, Chelmsford, Nashua, Dracut, Groton, Haverhill, Lawrence, Littleton, Lowell, North Andover, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Westford, Wilmington, Woburn and the surrounding towns. We carry a variety of different CBD products from all your favorite local Massachusetts brands, plus more.

 

Understanding CBD

Before delving into the diverse product options, it’s essential to grasp the basics of CBD. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates various functions like mood, sleep, and pain sensation. Unlike its counterpart, THC, CBD doesn’t induce a “high.” Instead, it offers therapeutic effects without altering consciousness.

It is, however, important to note that at least a small amount of THC does need to be present in order for the benefits of CBD to reach their full potential. This is because of the way that they interact with both our endocannabinoid systems and each other.

Factors to Consider

  1. Purpose: Determine why you want to use CBD. Are you seeking relief from chronic pain, anxiety, or insomnia? Different products may be more suitable for specific purposes.
  2. Dosage: CBD products vary in potency, so it’s crucial to consider the dosage that suits your needs. Beginners often start with lower concentrations and gradually increase as needed.
  3. Method of Consumption: CBD comes in various forms, including oils, edibles, topicals, capsules, and vapes. Each method offers unique bioavailability and onset time, influencing how quickly and effectively CBD takes effect.
  4. Quality & Source: Opt for products from reputable companies that provide third-party lab testing to ensure purity, potency, and absence of contaminants. Additionally, consider the hemp source, extraction methods, and whether the product is full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or isolate.

Exploring CBD Product Varieties

  1. CBD Oils/Tinctures: Widely popular, CBD oils or tinctures offer versatility and quick absorption when placed under the tongue. They often come with droppers for precise dosing and are ideal for those seeking fast relief.
  2. Edibles: From gummies and chocolates to beverages and capsules, edibles offer a convenient and discreet way to consume CBD. They have a longer onset time but provide prolonged effects.
  3. Topicals: Creams, lotions, balms, and patches infused with CBD are designed for localized relief, targeting specific areas of discomfort or skin conditions.
  4. Vapes: Inhaling CBD through vaping delivers rapid effects but may not be suitable for everyone. Quality vape products use safe ingredients and are free from harmful additives.
  5. Flower: Several high CBD flower strains are available on the market.
  6. Other Products: CBD-infused products continue to expand, including skincare items, bath bombs, and even pet treats. These cater to specific preferences and offer alternative methods of CBD consumption.

Finding Your Ideal CBD Product

  1. Research: Take time to research different products, brands, and customer reviews. Look for transparency regarding sourcing, extraction methods, and third-party testing.
  2. Consultation: Seek advice from healthcare professionals or CBD experts to determine the most suitable product and dosage for your needs.
  3. Start Low & Go Slow: Begin with a low dosage and gradually increase until you achieve the desired effects. Patience is key as individual responses to CBD vary.
  4. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body reacts to the product. Adjust dosage or switch products if needed, and always prioritize your well-being.

In conclusion, the journey to finding the right CBD product involves consideration of your goals, preferred method of consumption, product quality, and individual response. With a thoughtful approach and adequate research, discovering the ideal CBD product tailored to your needs is within reach, offering potential relief and wellness benefits in your daily life.

Unlocking the Perfect Cannabis Edible Experience: A Personal Journey

Unlocking the Perfect Cannabis Edible Experience: A Personal Journey

 

Looking for a way to reap the benefits of cannabis without any harsh feelings on your throat or lungs? Cannabis edibles are a popular and discreet method for users seeking an alternative to smoking or vaping. These tasty treats offer a range of options, from gummies and chocolates to baked goods and beverages, providing a convenient and potent, smoke-free option. However, finding the right edible for you can be quite the journey.

To sum it up, testing the world of cannabis edibles takes a blend of patience, experimentation and understanding your body’s responses. Edibles contain varying amounts of THC, CBD and other cannabinoids, so new users should proceed with caution.

In this article, we’ll lay out the basics for you to consider when searching for the perfect cannabis edible for you.

Understanding the Basics

Before trying out any cannabis edible, it’s important to understand the basics that influence your experience:

  • Dosage & Potency: Edibles contain varying amounts of THC and CBD, which can affect their intensity and duration. Firstly, beginners are advised to start with a low dose (typically 5-10mg of THC) and gradually increase as they better understand their tolerance.
  • Body Chemistry: Individual differences in body chemistry play a role in how edibles affect each person. For example, factors such as weight, metabolism, and tolerance level can cause different experiences between two users. Additionally, the food in your stomach can also cause varying reactions and effects.
  • Timing & Onset: Unlike smoking where effects are felt almost instantly, edibles take longer to take effect. Onset times can vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on factors like whether or not you’ve eaten recently. As a result, fast-acting edibles are becoming more popular in the market.

Cannabis Edibles: Exploring the Options

The market offers an array of unique cannabis-infused edibles. Even picky eaters are bound to find one they enjoy. Here are some popular types:

Gummies & Chocolates

These bite-sized delights come in various flavors and doses, making them a favorite among beginners for both their convenience and precise dosing. In the same vein, they are available in a ton of different flavors and textures.

Baked Goods

From brownies and cookies to cakes and muffins, cannabis-infused baked goods offer nostalgia for those who prefer a more classic option.

Beverages Cannabis Edibles

Infused beverages, such as teas and sodas provide a more subtle and refreshing option. These are excellent for beginners, as slowly sipping on a beverage allows you to consume slower over a drawn out period of time. As a result, you can closely monitor your intake to control your dosage.

Tinctures & Oils

For super precise dosing, tinctures and oils are popular choices. They can be eaten on their own, added to food or drinks or dissolved under the tongue for faster onset.

Personalizing Your Cannabis Edibles Journey

Finding the perfect cannabis edible involves some trial and error. Keeping these few tips in mind can make the process easier:

  1. Start Low and Go Slow: Most importantly, begin with a low dosage (5-10mg of THC) and allow enough time for the effects to kick in before taking more.
  2. Keep a Journal: Keeping track of the edibles you’ve tried and how they made you feel can help you find patterns and preferences.
  3. Consult with Experts: New users should seek advice from budtenders or other experts who are knowledgeable about weed.
  4. Consider Ratios: The ratio of THC to CBD can dramatically affect the experience. Moreover, experimenting with different ratios will allow you to find what works best for you.
  5. Be Mindful of Setting: Your environment and mood can impact your experience. In other words, always choose a comfortable and safe space for consumption.

Cured Resin vs Live Resin: What’s the Difference?

Cured Resin vs Live Resin: What’s the Difference?

By Cannabis 101, Products

Cured Resin vs Live Resin: What’s the Difference?

 

Cannabis has been grown, consumed and enjoyed for centuries. However, recent advancements in cultivation and extraction techniques have given rise to new cannabis products with varying flavors, potencies and effects. Two such products are live resin and cured resin cannabis. While they both share the common element of resin extraction, they differ greatly in their production processes, flavors and effects. In this article, we will explore the key differences between these two types of resin cannabis.

Smyth Cannabis Co. is the most popular dispensary for live resin and cured resin near Acton, Andover, Atkinson, Ayer, Bedford, Belmont, Billerica, Boston, Burlington, Chelmsford, Derry, Dracut, Dunstable, Groton, Haverhill, Hudson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Littleton, Londonderry, Lowell, Manchester, Methuen, Nashua, North Andover, North Reading, Plaistow, Reading, Salem, Shirley, Stoneham, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Westford, Wilmington, Windham, Woburn and the surrounding towns.

 

Extraction Process

Live Resin Cannabis: Live resin is extracted from freshly harvested, flash-frozen cannabis plants. This process involves preserving the plant material’s terpene profile, which is responsible for the unique smell and flavor of the strain. The flash-freezing technique ensures that the plant’s natural terpenes are retained. This results in an extract with a more robust and complex flavor profile.

Cured Resin Cannabis: Cured resin, on the other hand, is extracted from dried and cured cannabis flowers. During the curing process, the cannabis plant is allowed to slowly dry and age. This process can take several weeks and often leads to the loss of some terpenes, which may affect its overall flavor and aroma. On the contrast, the curing process also breaks down chlorophyll which can highlight the remaining terpene profile and lead to a smoother smoke.

Flavor & Aroma

Live Resin Cannabis: Live resin is renowned for its natural flavor and aroma. Thanks to the preservation of the fresh plant’s terpenes, it offers a more vibrant scent and flavor compared to other resin products. Live resin captures the essence of the living cannabis plant.

Cured Resin Cannabis: Cured resin, while still potent and flavorful, may not have the same intensity of aroma and flavor as live resin. The curing process can cause a slight degradation of terpenes, leading to a more mellow taste and smell.

Potency Cured Resin vs. Live Resin

Live Resin Cannabis: Live resin often boasts a higher terpene content. This typically results in a more potent and well-rounded high. The terpenes and cannabinoids can create a more balanced and nuanced experience, with a quicker onset of effects.

Cured Resin Cannabis: Curing allows cannabinoid synthesis (where compounds such as THC are created) to continue even after harvest, typically resulting in a more potent final product. Users may experience a more traditional high that is less influenced by the fresh terps found in live resin.

Preferred Uses

Live Resin Cannabis: Live resin is ideal for consumers who prioritize flavor and aroma in their cannabis experience. It is often considered a premium product and is well-suited for those looking to explore the nuances of different strains. In addition to dabs and vapes, live resin is commonly used in edibles because of its pleasant flavor.

Cured Resin Cannabis: Cured resin is versatile and can be used in various consumption methods. It’s great for users who prefer a milder, more traditional experience and may not care about the intensity of flavor as much. Cured resin is widely used in dabs and vapes.

Cured Resin vs. Live Resin: Conclusion

In short, there is no clear-cut difference in quality or potency between cured resin vs. live resin. Both products have their own unique qualities and can cater to a wide range of preferences within the cannabis community. The choice ultimately comes down to your own personal preferences.

The most recent batch of Smyth Cannabis Co. cured resin badder is made with our grown-in-house Miracle Mints, a customer-favorite indica with heavily relaxing effects. Our flower goes through a two-week long curing process developed by our master cultivators, who have over a decade of growing experience.

What Are Cannabis Topical & How do You Use Them?

What Are Cannabis Topicals & How Do You Use Them?

By Products

What Are Cannabis Topicals & How Do You Use Them?

 

Cannabis topicals are cannabis products that are intended to be applied directly to your skin. They will not work if you eat them and are formulated to be non-intoxicating, meaning they will not get you high. Above all, cannabis topicals are used mostly for medical purposes to help with a number of symptoms.

Cannabis topicals are made by infusing cannabis to a carrier oil which is then applied to the skin. Common cosmetic carrier oils include coconut oil, beeswax, olive oil, grapeseed oil and more. Types of topicals include:

  • Salves
  • Creams & Lotions
  • Oils & Serums
  • Sprays
  • Bath Salts, Bath Bombs, Etc.
  • Transdermal Patches

How Do They Work?

Humans have our own internal endocannabinoid systems that we use to maintain homeostasis. In addition, this system also allows us to process cannabinoids through a network of receptors. CB1 and CB2 receptors are found in the cells and nerves of our skin. When a topical is applied, its cannabinoids will bind to the receptors in our skin cells to fight inflammation and provide local pain relief, along with other effects. They usually take about 30 minutes to be absorbed, but can sometimes take up to an hour.

What Are Cannabis Topicals’ Benefits?

  • Clear Up Acne — A study by the National Library of Medicine showed that the vitamins and other components of weed may help reduce acne.
  • Improve the Appearance of Scarring — Although cannabis topicals are not able to reverse UV sun damage, they may help reduce the appearance of scars to keep skin looking younger.
  • Reduce Migraine & Headaches — Additionally, cannabis in all forms has been proven to help reduce headaches and migraine symptoms.
  • Eczema & Psoriasis Itching — Topical cannabis products high in CBD have anti-itch properties.
  • Increased Sexual Pleasure — In general, research has shown using weed in all forms helps to improve sexual pleasure. Several weed oil products are available on the market for use as sexual lubes.
  • Wound Healing — Marijuana topicals can aid in the healing of wounds and help to reduce their pain.
  • Local Pain Treatment — Conclusively, consumers with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis have noted a reduction in muscle and joint pain from use of topical cannabis products.

Our friendly budtenders will help you pick a topical cannabis product best suited for both your needs and your budget.

Dab Concentrates: Which To Choose?

 

With the ever-expanding variety of cannabis extracts available on the market, choosing the right dab concentrates to smoke can be a daunting task for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts. In short, each extract type offers a unique combination of flavors, potency, and effects.

In this guide, we will explore the factors to consider when selecting the perfect dab concentrates for you.

1. Understand the Types of Cannabis Extracts & Dab Concentrates

Before diving into the selection process, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the various types of cannabis extracts available. Some common extracts include:

  • BHO (Butane Hash Oil): A potent and versatile extract that can vary in texture from shatter to wax.
  • CO2 Oil: Extracted using carbon dioxide, it preserves more of the plant’s natural terpenes and cannabinoids.
  • Rosin: Created by applying heat and pressure to cannabis flowers or hash, resulting in a solventless dab concentrate.
  • Live Resin: Made from freshly harvested, frozen cannabis plants, preserving a rich terpene profile.
  • Distillate: Highly purified and refined cannabis oil, often used for its high THC content.
  • Hashish: A traditional extract made from the resin of the cannabis plant, available in various forms.

Understanding these options will help you narrow down your selection of dab concentrates based on your preferences and needs.

2. Determine Your Desired Effects

Next, consider your desired experience. Different dab concentrates can produce various effects due to their cannabinoid and terpene profiles.

  • Indica: Extracts with a higher concentration of CBD and the terpene Myrcene tend to provide relaxing, sedating effects, making it ideal for evening use or relaxation.
  • Sativa: Extracts with a higher concentration of THC and uplifting terpenes like Limonene can offer energizing and creative effects, making them great dab concentrates for daytime use.
  • Hybrid: A balanced combination of both indica and sativa effects, offering versatility for different situations.

3. Assess Potency & Tolerance

The potency of your dab concentrates can vary significantly. Novices should start with lower-potency options, while experienced users might seek more potent extracts. Most importantly, be mindful of your tolerance and adjust your consumption accordingly to avoid discomfort or overconsumption.

4. Consider Terpene Profiles

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to its flavor and effects. Different strains and dab concentrates have distinct terpene profiles. Experimenting with various terpenes can enhance your smoking experience by tailoring it to your preferences.

5. Extraction Method Dab Concentrates

Each extraction method has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, solvent-based extracts like BHO and CO2 oil can offer high potency and purity, while solventless options like rosin prioritize preserving terpenes. To sum it up, it’s essential to choose your dab concentrates based on the method aligns with your priorities.

Lab Testing & Transparency

Always opt for cannabis extracts that undergo rigorous lab testing to ensure safety and consistency. Reputable brands provide test results with a product’s cannabinoid content, terpene profile, and potential contaminants. This information can help you make an informed choice.

What is a Tincture & How do You Use it?

What is a Tincture & How do You Use it?

By Cannabis 101, Products

What is a Tincture & How do You Use it?

 

A tincture is a basic form of cannabis extract, where a cannabis-infused liquid is ingested under the tongue.

Located off of 495 in Lowell, MA, Smyth Cannabis Co. is the most popular dispensary for tinctures near Andover, Ayer, Billerica, Burlington, Chelmsford, Nashua, Dracut, Groton, Haverhill, Lawrence, Littleton, Lowell, North Andover, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Westford, Wilmington, Woburn and the surrounding towns.

 

How Are They Made?

Technically, the term “tincture” implies that the solution is alcohol-based. However, it is more commonly used as an umbrella term. Tinctures can have a base made up of either alcohol, glycerin or oil, which is then steeped with cannabis for several days. After the plant matter is removed and strained, you are left with an edible liquid rich in terpenes and cannabinoids.

And while tinctures are intended to be consumed orally instead of through smoking or vaporization, they are not considered to be a food item by most major markets. This allows them to frequently exceed potency limits that most states enforce on edibles. Because they are absorbed right into the bloodstream from under the tongue, they do not pass through the liver. So the effects of a tincture will come on quicker but less strong than with other methods.

How to Use a Tincture

Many dispensaries will group their tinctures into the same category as their edibles. This is due to the general method of consumption, even though there is a slight difference, as stated above. The tincture will most likely come in a small bottle with a dropper.

  1. Shake The Bottle — Be sure to give your tincture a good shake before opening to fix any separation that may have occurred.
  2. Start With One Drop — Start slow, especially if this is your first time using a tincture. We recommend starting with one single drop under your tongue.
  3. Let it Sit for 45 Seconds & Swallow — Let the drop sit undisturbed under your tongue for about 30 – 45 seconds before swallowing. Swallowing the droplet before giving it a chance to be absorbed under the tongue will compromise its effectiveness.
  4. Repeat if Necessary — You should start to feel the effects of the tincture after about 15 – 30 minutes. Remember that due to the consumption method, the effects of a tincture will come on quicker but less strong than you may be used to.

What Are the Benefits?

  • Dose Control — Because droplets are so small, consumers are able to control their dosing to a very precise amount.
  • Minimum Effective Dose (MED) — Low and slow dosing gives consumers a better grasp on their minimum effective dose, or smallest amount required to control symptoms and produce they desired effects. This can help keep your tolerance low and save you money by allowing you to buy from lower-potency products without reduced efficiency.
  • Low Calorie — Tinctures are typically lower in calories than many other edible options, including sodas, chocolates, gummies and baked goods.
  • Discreet Use — A drop under the tongue is much more subtle in both process of use and impact on your body than eating edibles or smoking, vaping, etc.
  • Long Shelf Life — A single tincture can last up to several years as long as it is properly stored.
