Read MoreSticky cannabis flower is usually a sign of healthy trichomes and strong resin production. Trichomes are tiny resin glands that produce cannabinoids and terpenes. When flower feels sticky, it often means those compounds are abundant and intact. This is different from wet or damp cannabis, which can signal poor curing or storage rather than quality.
Read MoreA landrace is a cannabis strain that developed naturally in a specific region of the world without modern crossbreeding. These original genetics shaped what we now call indica and sativa cannabis. While most modern strains are hybrids, landrace strains still matter because they preserve genetic diversity and help explain the real difference between indica and sativa experiences today.
Read MoreYes—modern cannabis is generally more potent than it was a decade ago. Advances in genetics, cultivation, and lab testing have increased THC levels and consistency. But potency alone doesn’t explain why cannabis feels stronger today. Changes in product formats, terpene awareness, and consumer expectations all play a role.
Read MoreMany classic cannabis strains from even 10 years ago have disappeared due to shifting market demand, evolving genetics, and the realities of cloning over time.

Read MoreCannabis in Washington must be sold in child-resistant, tamper-evident packaging—rules that often rely on plastics and mixed materials that are hard to recycle. In response, many Washington brands are experimenting with eco-friendly packaging alternatives, waste-reduction strategies, and consumer education to balance compliance, safety, and sustainability.

There are important exceptions, and on-the-job impairment rules still apply.
Read MoreCannabis edibles take longer to kick in than smoking or vaping because they are processed through the digestive system and metabolized by the liver. This slower onset also means longer-lasting effects and a different experience overall. Dosing edibles safely—especially for beginners—comes down to starting low, going slow, and understanding how your body processes THC.
Read MoreIn Washington State, cannabis delivery to consumers is not currently legal, even though recreational and medical cannabis can be purchased at licensed retailers. If you want cannabis delivered, you will not find a lawful service — licensed stores are required to sell only on-site, in person.

Scrutiny and active engagement will be crucial as HB 2075 moves through the legislature to avoid price increases for cannabis customers and a disproportionately negative impact lower-income users.
Read MoreIn Washington State, all legal cannabis products must pass rigorous laboratory testing before they reach store shelves. These tests verify potency, screen for harmful contaminants like pesticides and heavy metals, and help ensure products are safe, accurately labeled, and consistent. Cannabis testing is one of the most important consumer protections in Washington’s regulated market.
