Capsule

A measured dose of cannabis extract in a capsule that is swallowed with a liquid. Capsules come as oil sealed in a softgel or as oil or powder in a two-piece shell. Every capsule in a package has the same labeled milligrams, which keeps dosing consistent.

A capsule works like other swallowed products: The body absorbs it through the gut, and the liver processes it before it reaches the rest of the body. Effects typically begin within 30 minutes to 2 hours and last 4 to 8 hours, longer than inhaled forms. Absorption varies from person to person and is higher when taken with fat-containing food.

Note: Capsules are particularly beneficial for those with an aversion to the bitter/unpleasant taste cannabis-containing products can have.

Distillate

A crude cannabis oil that has undergone refinement to mostly one cannabinoid, usually THC or CBD. The plant's other compounds, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and terpenes, are removed; terpenes or flavorings may be added back afterward.

Sativa

On a menu, "Sativa" signals the effects the seller expects: energizing, uplifting, felt more in the head, suited to daytime. As with Indica, that is tradition and not a measured property.
