Cucumber Crisp

Pod

A prefilled oil container that clicks or snaps into a battery made specifically for it, usually held by a magnet. Pods work like a cartridge: the battery heats an element in the pod, and the oil is inhaled as vapor.

The difference between a cartridge and a pod is compatibility: a 510 cartridge fits almost any 510 battery, but a pod fits only its own brand's battery system. A patient who buys a pod needs the matching battery. Pods hold the same range of oils as cartridges.

Distillate + Botanical Terpenes

Distillate with terpenes added from plants other than cannabis, blended for flavor. Botanical terpenes are taken from plants other than cannabis, such as myrcene from hops or mango, limonene from citrus peel, linalool from lavender, and pinene from pine. They are blended to recreate the aroma and flavor of a cannabis strain.

Sativa-leaning hybrid

A plant bred from both indica-type and sativa-type parents. Menus use "Hybrid" for effects described as in between or mixed. The label is often narrowed to indica-dominant hybrid, sativa-dominant hybrid, or balanced ("50/50"). Any percentages given are the breeder's estimate from the plant's family tree, not a measured one.

After decades of crossbreeding, nearly all modern commercial strains are hybrids in the genetic sense, regardless of the label they carry. The label says more about how a product is positioned than about the plant. A listed lineage (the cross) is more specific, but a strain name doesn't guarantee chemistry either.
