We will unfortunately be temporarily suspending our delivery service in Connecticut. We would like to invite you to visit our dispensary locations where curbside services are reserved for delivery patients. Placing an order for curbside is just as easy asplacing an order for delivery, and our team members are standing by to assist you with this “as-brief-as-possible” transition. Please be sure to bring a valid government ID and your payment method, and we’ll see you in the parking lot! Thanks for bearing with us.

Administration Methods:
There are multiple methods to use medical marijuana, each with varying effects on the time it takes for the medicine to take effect and how long it remains effective. Patients may find one method more effective than another.
Smoking:
Smoking the raw product provides immediate effects but diminishes quickly. Regular smoking can negatively impact health, so vaporizers are recommended.
Vaporizing:
Vaporizers extract therapeutic ingredients at a lower temperature without combustion, allowing patients to inhale vapor instead of smoke. Effects may take a few minutes to feel fully.
Edibles:
Edibles take longer to take effect (20 minutes to an hour) but last up to four hours or more. Caution is advised when driving or operating heavy machinery after consumption.
Topicals:
Topicals include lotions, salves, balms, sprays, oils, and creams, applied directly to the skin.
Tinctures:
Tinctures are concentrated forms of marijuana in an alcohol solution, taken under the tongue or mixed into beverages. Dosage should start small and increase cautiously.
Prolonged use of marijuana can lead to addiction, characterized by an uncontrollable urge to use despite negative impacts on family, school, and recreational activities. Regular use can create physical tolerance, requiring more of the drug for the same effects. Withdrawal symptoms may include irritability, anxiety, anger, loss of appetite, excessive sweating, and disturbed sleep with nightmares.
If you or someone you know experiences symptoms of marijuana dependence or withdrawal, help is available.
