Complete Guide to Cannabis Products: Flower, Concentrates, Edibles, Vapes, and More
Cannabis products differ in how you take them, how fast you feel them, and how long it lasts: flower, pre-rolls, and vape cartridges work within minutes, while edibles take an hour or two and last longer. Olswell's live menus are organized into five categories, flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, edibles, and concentrates, and this guide explains each one so you can decide before you walk in.
